Victas V > 01 is a high-quality offensive table tennis rubber, ITTF-approved, manufactured in Germany, and created in accordance with the VICTAS brand's mission from Japan - to provide ambitious players with the best possible equipment. After extensive research and development, German and Japanese materials experts (GJ Tec) have created a rubber that meets professional players' demands while also providing enjoyment for players of various levels. The V > 01 embodies the "Power & Balance" philosophy, combining the strength of powerful topspin shots (~14.0/20 speed) with excellent feel and precision (~11.4/20 control), allowing players to maintain control even in the most intense situations. This rubber features a slightly harder (~47.5° ± 3) open-pore sponge with "High Energy Tension" technology, ensuring direct ball contact for precise shot placement. The open-pore sponge's air chambers compress during hard shots (e.g., topspin or flat hits), prolonging ball contact with the topsheet and creating an explosive catapult effect that sends the ball to the opponent's side at maximum speed. The V > 01 is an ideal rubber for versatile topspin players who want to utilize their attacking arsenal while maintaining high spin (~13.4/20) and stability.

Unique Features and Playing Characteristics:

Victas V > 01 is a premium offensive rubber designed for versatile players seeking a balanced combination of speed, spin, and control. Its grippy topsheet ensures excellent ball grab, enabling strong topspin and loop strokes with high spin potential (~13.4/20). The medium-hard (~47.5°) open-pore sponge with "High Energy Tension" technology provides a strong catapult effect, high speed (~14.0/20), and excellent feel, facilitating aggressive opening topspins, flat hits, and counterattacks in mid-distance play. The rubber offers high control (~11.4/20), allowing precise shot placement even in varied gameplay, making it more forgiving on imperfect shots. The V > 01 stands out with its ability to neutralize the opponent's spin, easing serve returns, counter-topspins, and topspin blocking. Due to its balanced performance and direct feel, the rubber suits both beginners and advanced players looking for a versatile rubber that allows them to exploit their attacking potential.

Top Sheet Composition:

The V > 01 topsheet is grippy and optimized for spin and power, ensuring prolonged ball contact and excellent grip. This surface allows for strong topspin shots, dangerous spin variations on serves, and precise placement. The topsheet effectively counters the opponent's spin, making it suitable for counter-spin rallies and precise blocking at the table. The grippy surface also provides excellent control on passive returns, drop shots, and short pushes, enabling precise ball trajectory control.

Sponge:

The medium-hard (~47.5°) open-pore sponge (available in 2.0 mm or Max thickness) with "High Energy Tension" technology gives the rubber a strong catapult effect, direct feel, and high speed. The 2.0 mm sponge suits players seeking balanced power and control, while the Max thickness enhances speed and attacking potential, making it ideal for aggressive players, especially on the forehand. Compared to the Victas V > 15 Limber (~40° sponge, ~14.1/20 speed, ~11.5/20 control, ~14.1/20 spin), the V > 01 offers slightly lower speed (~14.0/20) and spin (~13.4/20) but similar control (~11.4/20). Compared to the Butterfly Tenergy 05 (~14.5/20 speed, ~11.0/20 control, ~14.5/20 spin), the V > 01 provides slightly lower speed and spin but higher control, making it easier to handle and more forgiving on imperfect shots.

Spin and Trajectory:

The V > 01 boasts high spin potential (~13.4/20), particularly on topspin shots, varied serves, and counter-topspin strokes. Due to the grippy topsheet and medium-hard sponge, the rubber generates a balanced trajectory (6.9/10), facilitating topspin attacks, mid-distance rallies, and aggressive shots. The rubber effectively neutralizes the opponent's spin, making it suitable for players facing strong topspin shots and easing serve reception and blocking.

Control:

The V > 01 offers high control (~11.4/20) relative to its speed and spin levels, especially on precise serves, returns, blocks, drop shots, and short pushes. Compared to the Xiom Vega Pro (~13.8/20 speed, ~11.0/20 control), the V > 01 provides slightly higher speed, lower spin, but better control, making it ideal for players seeking a balance of power and stability.

Technical Ratings:

• Speed (112/100, ~14.0/20): High speed for topspin shots, loop drives, and opening attacks. Slightly lower than Butterfly Tenergy 05 (~14.5/20 speed).

• Control (91/100, ~11.4/20): High control, especially on serves, returns, blocks, drop shots, and imperfect shots. Similar to Yasaka Rakza 7 (~11.5/20 control) but with higher speed.

• Spin (107/100, ~13.4/20): High spin, especially on topspin shots, varied serves, and counter-topspins. Slightly lower than DHS Hurricane 3 Neo (~14.0/20 spin) but with higher speed and control.

Playing Aspects:

• Topspin Strokes: 9.3/10 – Effective topspin and loop drives with a balanced trajectory, suitable for aggressive opening shots and topspin-to-topspin rallies.

• Backspin Strokes: 8.7/10 – Strong backspin shots, suitable for spin variation and short play.

• Blocking: 9.4/10 – Effective in blocking topspin shots at the table, with excellent spin neutralization.

• Push Shots: 8.8/10 – Precise pushes against backspin or dead balls, with good spin variation.

• Chopping: 8.3/10 – Adequate backspin generation, suitable for defensive play.

• Counter-Hitting: 9.2/10 – Stable counter-attacks at the table and mid-distance.

• Smashing: 9.3/10 – Powerful flat hits with high accuracy.

Blade Compatibility:

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

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

• Butterfly Lin Gaoyuan ALC (~13.5/20 speed, OFF-): Improves control and forgiveness, suitable for players seeking stability.

• Donic Appelgren Allplay (~12.5/20 speed, ALL+): Boosts control and forgiveness, ideal for players seeking consistency.

• Yasaka Sweden Extra (~12.8/20 speed, ALL+): Great for players prioritizing control and spin potential.

• Butterfly Viscaria (~14.5/20 speed, OFF+): Amplifies catapult effect and speed, ideal for aggressive attackers.

It is recommended to use the V > 01 with a 2.0 mm sponge for control-oriented players on all-round blades (e.g., Yasaka Sweden Extra) or with a Max sponge for attacking play on lighter offensive blades (e.g., Butterfly Lin Gaoyuan ALC) to maintain racket balance and maximize speed, spin, and control potential.
