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.

Since it's speed-focused, I figured it would be pretty wild to control,
but it was surprisingly easy to handle, got good spin, and was easy to control too!
I'd recommend putting it on the forehand - I think it's harder to handle on the backhand.
If it's your first time trying a VICTAS rubber, this is the obvious choice!
Topspin rallies left a really good impression, and the counters felt like classic VICTAS too!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
Racket recommended use ZX-GEAR IN

I used the 2.0mm on my forehand as a chopper.
My chops came out incredibly flat.
The ball comes off fast, and the rubber itself felt hard. I didn't personally feel like I was putting spin on it, but opponents told me it was spinning a lot. Maybe that's just my own lack of skill...
As for attacking, even though I'm using it as a defensive rubber, it had enough speed that I could hit power drives strong enough to blow right through.
The short game feels a little more affected by the opponent's spin, but overall I'd strongly recommend this to loop players!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Nice to meet you
Hello
I'm Cappy.
I quit table tennis exactly a year ago, but before that I used all kinds of rubbers, so I'd like to give some advice.Now, let me talk about the V-01.
First of all, the speed is amazing!!
Of course I bought it to get more speed myself, but I remember being surprised at how much more it bounced than I expected.
Honestly, if you're thinking about switching from inverted rubber to short pips just to get the ball off faster, I think you should go with the V-01 instead.
That said, I think it's hard to handle unless you're at least an intermediate player.
Please keep that in mind before buying.*A few extra notes
Serves... they have more bite than you'd expect. That's thanks to the hardness.
Short game... trickier than other rubbers. This is the one thing I'll ask you to forgive it for!!
Topspin drive... fast! Your speed drive practically turns into a smash!?
That's all from me.
Was this helpful?

I used it on my backhand.
It's well balanced and lets you play a variety of techniques.
However, since the hardness is on the firm side, using it on the backhand requires power and swing speed.
I'd recommend beginners put it on the forehand instead.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

It had been a while since I used a VICTAS rubber. My impression using it was that the topsheet grips the ball strongly, making it easy to get spin, and it has speed too.
Whether you put it on the forehand or backhand, I think it's a rubber that handles both the short game and topspin rallies well.
Maybe it's because I'd been using tacky rubber before, but I found it really easy to use. Whether you brush the ball or sink it into the sponge, it grips well and bounces well.
That said, maybe because I usually prefer harder rubbers, the ball felt a bit heavier when I hit it - I'm not sure how to describe it, but the way it grabbed the ball caught me off guard a little, haha
Still, it really is easy to use!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
Racket recommended use FIRE FALL HC

I got curious about it recently and am using it for the first time.
I switched over from Tenergy and am now trying it on both sides.
To the touch it felt hard, but when I actually hit with it, it doesn't seem to bounce all that much.
I felt the spin and speed were amazing.
Just my own take, but
topspin drives, counters, blocks, and short-game technique are all really easy to pull off.
The backhand drive in particular goes in easily even without putting much power behind it, and even when my form is a little off, somehow it still goes in with just a light swing! lolControl is a little tricky, but it's no problem once you get used to it.
Also, the rubber itself is heavy, so I think it's better to only put it on one side to keep the weight down.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

It got to be strongest after about a month of use.
My loop drive flies off with insane spin and speed, hard for opponents to deal with
I don't really have the technique.
Even though I hadn't been playing table tennis for even a year when I used this, I made it to the round of 16 at the city tournamentAll Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
