I've been using Sriver max for years on speed glue. Currently I am looking for a replacement rubbers based on water glue. Any recommendations? I just look for similar parameters to sriver. I don't want to buy expensive stuff like tenergy. Also recommendation about water glue would be great because I have never used it before.Thanks in advance !

Sriver tuned with an aftermarket booster is the closest thing, inho. As for the glue, I use dhs no 15 and love it. Good bond, clean removal, build-up of glue on the sponge from regluing enhances speed a bit too.

I was thinking about buying Donic Acuda S1 Turbo for sriver replacement. I've heard many positive feedback about this rubber.

It is doubtful S1T will play anything like a Sriver.

It is like asking which rubber can replace Tenergy. There are many yet no one really plays like it. I would say go for any second tier Tensors such as the new Andro Plaxon 400, or Nittaku Flyatt Soft from Japan if you are not ready for the extremes. For glues I also like DHS 15 (500ml one) very much but not many places are stocking it.

Sriver G3 is supposedly the "third generation" of sriver intended for the game after the speed glue ban.  Although I wouldn't say it performs like the original sriver with speed glue, it definitely resembles a more modern version of it.

It is still used by a few high level US players, namely Gao Yanjun as far as I know on his backhand side.

As for WBG, I'd recommend the DHS #15 glue (thick liquid type), Nittaku Finezip / Stiga Attach (thick paste type), or Paddle Palace / Tearmender glues (runny/thin type).  All of these options will allow for a clean and easy removal from the sponge when you need to change or reglue rubbers!

Donic Acuda S1 Turbo has great reviews but it's quite different to a rubber like sriver. It's quite a fast paced offensive rubber, will definitely not have as much control as Sriver. However with the water glue it may be closer to a really well speed glued Sriver.

Stand-alone it is a great rubber (without comparing it to Sriver). Superb for attacking and playing powerful shots. An upgrade to a faster rubber would probably be necessary for you anyway since you won't be used to the slower water based glue.

There is also a new Acuda P1 which is a plastic ball variation which you could also look at.

I'd go for rubbers such as Nittaku Renanos Hold or Hammond Pro Beta... I now play Hammond Pro Beta on BH and it's the best BH rubber I have ever tried...finally i feel my BH playing natural as in the days of Stiga Mendo MP and Sriver EL

The two rubbers that I have used that seem Sriver similar but a bit faster are Friendship 729 Aurora and DHS Tinarc 3 in 2.0 Thickness. I have the latter on my backhand now and it is great but make sure to get the 2.0 thickness as the 2.15 and thicker has a much harder sponge which feels different.
