    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.

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly rated as a high-performance rubber prioritizing speed, but widely considered suitable for intermediate and advanced players due to its high hardness and difficulty in handling. Attack techniques are excellent, but control accuracy varies by individual.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Outstanding speed performance with powerful drives and smashes
    • Hard sponge requires significant technique; not for beginners
    • Better suited for forehand; more difficult on backhand
    • Excellent for defensive techniques like blocking and countering
    • Heavy rubber weight is a notable concern
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveExcellent speed with good feedback from striking and bouncing strokes. Strong blocking and counter performance; versatile rubber capable of handling various techniques once mastered.
    ▽ CriticalHigh hardness makes control difficult and unsuitable for beginners. Linear trajectory lacks stability, and the heavy rubber weight is a disadvantage.

      The bounce is really good, but I felt like it's a bit hard to get spin on.
      For me it bounced too much and control was difficult.

      Switched from a Chinese rubber on the forehand side. The trajectory became a lot flatter, but the spin is still satisfying, and the speed is almost double.
      In exchange, control got harder, but blocking and countering became a lot easier.

      I tried the 1.8mm red on my backhand side. I'd heard rumors it was "hard," but the topsheet wasn't as hard as I expected. Since I mainly serve off my backhand, I find it easy to use. I don't think the topsheet is all that hard, but for its hardness it grips the ball surprisingly well - maybe not far off Tamasu's super famous rubber. I was able to hit the backhand drives I wanted, one after another. At 164cm and not much power, I feel VICTAS suits me better. Going forward I'm thinking of trying the 2mm version too.

      STIGA maniac (Experience: 11〜20 years) Top-class speed, but hard to handle

      Reviews by user

      It's not quite as fast as Butterfly's Bryce Speed, but it's a distinctive rubber with speed that's close behind.
      That said, it also gets plenty of spin.
      The downside is it's hard and tricky to get the ball to land in. I couldn't quite master it myself.
      For advanced players with a stable, consistent stroke, this might be the strongest option out there.
      It's not expensive either, so why not give it a try?

      Reviews by user

      A true monster rubber
      the power is amazing, the speed is amazing, and for chiquita and backhand topspin drives you get both speed and spin
      it works on forehand and backhand alike
      the topspin drive is genuinely insane, control is hard but the speed is ridiculous

      Russian Roulette (Experience: 4〜5 years) Insane destructive power

      Reviews by user

      This rubber is hard to control
      but the smash power makes up for it - hard enough that I once hit a senpai in the face with one and made him cry
      the topspin drive really carries through!
      the trajectory is flat and tricky but it has real speed
      the one thing I struggle with is countering
      but you can counter-block just fine
      the serves have decent spin too
      though if you don't swing through fully they won't go in
      so I don't think beginners should use this
      if you're strong you can hit some scary shots with it
      the push is good too
      this is VICTAS for you!!

      This is a god-tier rubber. I switched over from Rondel
      and my topspin drives land like crazy
      smashes are a little harder to hit
      but my serves have insane spin too

      It's basically perfect, a rubber that makes your dreams come true
