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.

I heard it has 4 carbon plies total and figured it would be really bouncy, but it turned out to be less bouncy than I expected, in a good way. So with a hard rubber like V15 on it, I didn't feel any issues at all. That said, the spin felt a bit lacking compared to my previous Innerforce Layer.

When you hear it has 4 carbon plies, you'd probably assume it's super bouncy, but this blade actually has a really nice balance between speed and hold on the ball.
I have short pips on my forehand and it feels totally natural, so I think it pairs well not just with inverted rubber but with unusual rubbers too.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

This is a really great blade. When you hit a topspin drive, the ball flies off with a nice clean arc. It's easy to change pace, so you can control the speed as you attack. It's very easy to use, and every technique feels natural with it. The meet timing is quick too - you can hit fast or slow it down a bit.
I'd recommend it for players who attack aggressively close to the table, or players who like to move their opponent around by varying the ball speed.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

I use short pips on my forehand side. The feel is soft, and blocking was especially easy. Even a light topspin drive goes in, so it should work fine for intermediate players too. With 4 carbon plies inside, you might think it flies too much, but it's actually pretty controlled and doesn't fly too far. If I had to nitpick, some people might find the speed a bit lacking.

I switched over from the Artero.
First off, unlike wood, the power and speed
are amazing, and it pairs excellently with the V15 series. Even if you put everything into your drive, the ball still traces an arc into the court, so it has amazing stability. But if you try to hit it flat and straight,
you tend to overshoot unless you hold back quite a bit. Overall, the balance is good. It's a special-material racket, but it has no quirks
it's really easy to use. The Quartet AFC is a racket I'd recommend.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

I was hesitant about special-material blades, but I bought this after seeing reviews saying it puts a lot of spin on the ball.
First, since the blade is thin at 5.5mm, the short game and serve receive are extremely stable.
Blocking might be a love-it-or-hate-it thing, but it gives you the feel of hitting with the blade itself, and even with medium-thickness backhand rubber,
I was able to hit really stable blocks.If that were all, it would just be a mild-mannered racket, but when you hit hard, it shows a completely different side.
The 4 layers of special material produce a fantastic sound, and the shot skims low into the opponent's court.It's definitely different from the grabby feel of wood, but you can hit fast balls with the light effort that's characteristic of carbon,
and thanks to the flex, it was wonderfully easy to handle. I'm thinking of buying another one of the same weight as a backup.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I switched over from an all-wood blade
It felt a bit more bouncy than the all-wood blade
but the feel was a bit dull
so it was a good racket, but I wasn't quite comfortable with it
Also, since the grip is thick, switching from forehand to backhand
was a bit awkward for me too
Also, if you back away from the table it tends to hit the net
so playing close to the table is recommended
Speed, spin, and control
are all really good!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard
