It is the mission of VICTAS, the innovative brand from Japan, to provide ambitious players with the best materials possible. After many years of research and development, the German and Japanese material experts (GJ Tec) succeeded in developing a rubber which meets the high requirements of professionals and will be fun to play by players of all levels alike. The new “Power & Balance” philosophy of the V > 01 rubber combines the power of topspin bombs with feel and precision in your play, so that you remain in control at all times. This sensational feel is the result of the slightly harder, open-pore 47.5° high-performance sponge which provides for a more direct, thus more controlled touch enabling precise placing of the ball. In hard-hit balls (e.g. topspin, smash), the air chambers of the open-pore sponge are compressed, which results in longer ball contact. This virtually makes the V > 01 rubber explode, catapulting the ball to your opponent's side at maximum speed. The high-tension, spinny and extremely fast rubber with integrated VICTAS High Energy Tension Technology gives every variable topspin player the opportunity of utilizing their own offensive arsenal to the fullest.

A speed-over-spin rubber. Pretty much the same as Fastarc S1. Recommended for players who hit flat a lot. If you want to put real spin on it, you need decent skill or it won't happen. Just right as a forehand rubber for intermediate players. It might be a bit tough on the backhand.

This rubber's defining trait is how powerful a single shot can be.
I think it suits players who often go around their backhand for a third-ball attack.
That said, you need muscle to produce that power consistently. Yaah!!!It's also easy to use for punchy techniques like blocking and countering.
I don't have much power myself, so my style is more about toying with opponents (or being toyed with) using blocks and counters, and I find this rubber quite easy to handle for that!If you're proud of your muscles, this will absolutely give you top-tier performance!!!!!!!!!

The first time I used this was back in the celluloid ball era.
Back then the Vega series was hugely popular on the market, and this rubber showed up out of nowhere.
It costs a bit more than Vega, but its performance definitely surpassed Vega's.
Topspin drives, blocks, pushes, the short game, chops... whatever I did, I never felt any real difficulty with it.
Blocks and short-game technique in particular, which are usually easily affected by the opponent's spin, were incredibly easy to play.
The ball went exactly where I wanted, both in direction and bounce point, so I never felt like I'd lose a rally battle with it.
That said, since its maximum spin isn't all that high, in today's plastic-ball era I don't think you should expect much heaviness on your serves or topspin drives.
Even so, its strength in rally exchanges still holds up today, so it's a great rubber for anyone who wants to win points through rallies.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

This one's suited for the forehand.
It's well balanced for chops, topspin drives, smashes, and various other techniques.
It also has good spin, so I think it would work fine paired with long pips or short pips on the other side.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

You can probably tell from other reviews that this is recommended for players who prioritize speed,
but I think putting it on a soft blade brings out the full potential of this rubber.
It's for intermediate players who have some power but can also control the ball.
It's been around for a while, but it can still put out serious power shots, so I'd recommend it without hesitation.
Just because it's the "01" version doesn't mean it's for beginners, so parents should be careful about that.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

I used it on my backhand side with TSP's Black Balsa 7.0 blade and Chack sheet
My first impression was, "whoa, that's hard!"
For its listed hardness, the sponge felt really dense and packed, which surprised me a bitWhen I wasn't used to it yet, I didn't think it was that great of a rubber, but strangely, the more I used it, the more my technique noticeably improved lol
A few months after switching to this, my backhand started standing out even within my club, and now I can handle everything from the short game to hitting, smashing, and topspin drives!!As for how to hit it, think of it as brushing the topsheet. If you snap into it, the topsheet is strong enough that you can put on a drive with enough spin to overpower the opponent's own spin

Just as the manufacturer claims, it really is fast
The spin feels like it just happens on its own, and I found it works best when you hit it more with a hitting/flicking motion
The short game isn't wild, but it does take some getting used to
Now that the V>15 series has come out, this one's a bit overshadowed, but I still think it holds its own todayAll Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard
