Unique Features and Playing Characteristics:

Victas V > 01 Stiff is a versatile offensive rubber created according to the "Power & Balance" concept, combining high speed with excellent control. Its slightly straight pimple geometry, compared to the V > 01, and "High Energy Tension" technology ensure efficient energy transfer, enabling players to generate fast and spinny topspin shots with an aggressive ball trajectory. The medium-hard (~45°) open-pore sponge provides more control compared to the harder V > 01 (~47.5°), making it suitable for players seeking stability and versatility. This rubber particularly excels in mid-distance topspin rallies, where it demonstrates its full potential, while also ensuring dangerous, varied serves and excellent control in close-to-table play.

Topsheet Composition:

The V > 01 Stiff topsheet features high grip, enhanced by the "High Energy Tension" technology. The slightly straight pimple geometry allows quick reaction to shots, ensuring an excellent balance of speed and spin. The surface prolongs ball contact, enabling players to generate strong topspin shots with a high trajectory and effectively neutralize the opponent's spin. The topsheet also provides exceptional control when serving, receiving, and making passive returns, allowing precise control of the ball's trajectory.

Sponge:

The medium-hard (~45°) open-pore sponge (available in 2.0 mm or Max thickness) gives the rubber elasticity and stability, especially when executing topspin shots and counter-attacks. Compared to the V > 01 (~47.5° sponge, ~14.5/20 speed, ~11.0/20 control), the V > 01 Stiff offers slightly lower speed (~14.0/20) but higher control (~11.4/20) and similar spin (~13.4/20 vs. ~13.5/20), making it more versatile. Compared to the Butterfly Tenergy 64 (~14.2/20 speed, ~11.0/20 control), the V > 01 Stiff offers similar speed but higher control, making it suitable for players seeking stability.

Spin and Trajectory:

The V > 01 Stiff boasts a high spin potential (~13.4/20), especially when performing topspin shots and varied serves. Due to its high grip and slightly straight pimple geometry, the rubber generates an aggressive trajectory (8.2/10), suitable for offensive topspin shots and counter-spin rallies in mid-distance. The rubber also effectively neutralizes the opponent's spin, making it suitable for players who frequently face strong topspin shots.

Control:

Despite its offensive nature, the V > 01 Stiff offers high control (~11.4/20), particularly when executing precise serves, receives, and counter-attacking shots close to the table. Compared to the Yasaka Rakza 7 (~14.0/20 speed, ~11.0/20 control), the V > 01 Stiff offers similar speed but higher control, making it suitable for players seeking a balance between attack and stability.

Technical Indicators:

• Speed (112/100, ~14.0/20): High speed, suitable for fast topspin shots and opening shots. Compared to the Donic Bluefire M2 (~13.8/20 speed), the V > 01 Stiff offers slightly higher speed and spin.

• Control (91/100, ~11.4/20): High control, especially when serving, receiving, and counter-attacking. Compared to the Xiom Vega Pro (~11.2/20 control), the V > 01 Stiff offers higher control.

• Spin (107/100, ~13.4/20): High spin, particularly when performing topspin shots and serves. Compared to the DHS Hurricane 3 Neo (~14.0/20 spin), the V > 01 Stiff offers slightly lower spin but higher control.

Playing Aspects:

• Topspin Shots: 9.3/10 – Ideal for fast and spinny topspin shots with an aggressive trajectory.

• Blocking: 8.7/10 – Effective in blocking topspin shots, especially due to its high control and spin neutralization.

• Pressure Push: 8.9/10 – Precise pushes against backspin or non-spin balls, with good spin variation.

• Chopping: 7.0/10 – Suitable for backspin generation but more optimized for offense.

• Counter-Hitting: 9.0/10 – Stable and fast counter-attacking shots close to the table and in mid-distance.

• Smashing: 8.8/10 – Powerful flat shots with high accuracy.

• Serves and Receives: 9.4/10 – Highly effective for varied serves and precise receives (passive receive 9.3/10, active receive 9.5/10).

• Flick Shots: 9.1/10 – Effective banana flicks with excellent spin and control.

Compatibility with Blades:

Victas V > 01 Stiff pairs well with offensive and all-round blades that complement its speed, spin, and control:

• Victas Dyna Five (~13.5/20 speed, OFF-): Enhances the rubber's control and topspin potential, ideal for all-round players.

• Butterfly Zhang Jike ALC (~14.2/20 speed, OFF): Suitable for elite players seeking a balance of speed and spin.

• Donic Waldner Senso Carbon (~13.8/20 speed, OFF-): Balances the rubber's speed and control, suitable for a versatile offensive style.

• Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive (~13.0/20 speed, OFF-): Excellent for players seeking stability and topspin potential.

• Nittaku Violin (~12.8/20 speed, OFF-): Complements the rubber's control and spin, suitable for mid-distance rallies.

It is recommended to use the V > 01 Stiff with a Max sponge on the forehand side with offensive blades (e.g., Butterfly Zhang Jike ALC) or a 2.0 mm sponge on all-round blades (e.g., Victas Dyna Five) to maintain racket balance and maximize speed, spin, and control potential.
