    VICTAS Quartet AFC is a fast, high-quality offensive blade featuring excellent control thanks to well-balanced DSE technology. An Aramid Carbon layer, a combination of elastic aramid and tough carbon fibres, is applied directly on the core ply of the Quartet AFC blade and provides for extra speed and stability. The outer Fleece Carbon layer increases the blades spin potential and will give you an extraordinary level of control which you will hardly find in any other blade in this speed class. Take your offensive play to a new level with the power and vigour of Quartet AFC.

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    The Quartet AFC is highly rated as a front-to-mid-court racket that balances excellent ball retention and spin performance despite featuring four carbon layers. With a proven track record of use by Takeki Niwa, it excels in spin and blocking. However, many users note insufficient distance in the backcourt.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Four carbon layers provide controlled rebound with excellent ball grip
    • Outstanding stability and ease in aggressive front-court play
    • All techniques including service and blocking are highly manageable
    • Limited distance in backcourt; front-court focus recommended
    • Exceptional compatibility with sticky rubber
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe racket traces excellent arcs with good rebound and exceptional balance of stability and power. When striking hard, it pierces through opponents with strong force, and excels at varied pace play. Drives draw high arcs and land stably in court with impressive consistency.
    ▽ CriticalDespite four carbon layers, ball release is actually quite fast, making it suitable only for advanced players. When backing up, distance falls short and balls net easily, requiring front-court play. Light ball feel and significant restraint needed for direct shots.

      Blocking is incredibly easy with this.
      The forehand might be a little weaker compared to other rackets, but it still gets normal spin. The spin on serves and such is also good. Counters and similar shots are also easy to do, so you can play like Koki Niwa did at the Rio Olympics!!!

      Tororo (Experience: 4〜5 years) Fast!!

      Player reviews

      Fast! Just plain fast!
      If you hit it hard, you'll blow right past your opponent!
      Whenever even a slightly high ball comes my way I go for a drive, and if it lands, it blows past my opponent almost every time!

      Player reviews

      I bought this because Niwa used it. The first time I hit with it, I was surprised by how little bounce it had. Because the bounce is low, short-game shots like stops and chiquitas were really easy to do. Blocks also stayed on the table nicely and were easy to hit. That said, it was hard to get speed on drives, and while control was easy, I felt it lacked a finishing punch. I'd recommend it to people using a carbon racket for the first time, or people who use bouncy rubbers like V>15.

      Like everyone else says, it feels like it doesn't fly as well when you back away from the table, but playing close to the table or at mid-distance is amazing with it. Personally, I think Extra is the best rubber for it.

      Rosenthar (Experience: 2〜3 years) No wonder, Kazuhiro Yoshimura uses it

      Player reviews

      My first impression when I hit with it was, "this feels just like wood." I was switching over from a 7-ply all-wood blade, and there was no sense of discomfort at all. It's a thin-bladed carbon racket, but it flexes a lot and put a ton of spin on the ball. I expected a carbon racket with 4 carbon layers to be a wild, overly bouncy blade, but the outer fleece carbon widens the sweet spot and adds stability, while the inner aramid carbon delivers powerful play. It's the best.

      Player reviews

      If you put a firm tension rubber on it, super-aggressive table tennis becomes possible! The feel also lets you clearly sense the ball flying off.
      This is my second one after the Swat Carbon, and I have absolutely no complaints!

      Surume (Experience: 2〜3 years) Worth every penny

      Player reviews

      I switched from the Swat Carbon.
      First off, I think this racket is meant for players close to the table or at mid-distance.
      If you back up away from the table, the ball tends to hit the net.
      Drives are easy to put spin on and have good power.
      Blocking was also really easy to do. Serves got a normal(?) amount of spin too.
      So overall I think it's a very versatile racket.
      And I think V>15 is the rubber that suits it best.
