    The new VICTAS VS > 401 rubber offers the perfect balance between a tacky control rubber and a variable offensive rubber. The German and Japanese material experts (GJ Tec) developed an extremely tacky surface for vicious backspin forcing your opponent into mistakes. The slightly more compact sponge neutralizes your opponent's attacks, thus providing for fantastic control. The High Energy Tension top rubber sheet also offers sufficient speed for sudden and dangerous attacks. VS > 401 is the perfect tool for all-rounders who need sufficient power for their own attacks in addition to great control.

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    A high-hardness defensive rubber developed with input from Hiroji Matsushita. Highly praised for cutting stability, spin performance, and attacking power, but the weight and hardness create a barrier for many players. However, those who master it gain unwavering confidence in its performance.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Excellent control and spin during cutting, producing stable low-trajectory balls
    • Aggressive shots like drives and smashes gain power from the hard sponge
    • Superior cutting quality, precision, and consistency in basic techniques like pushing and serving
    • Heavy weight (~56g) and hardness demand significant technique and strength
    • Poor form results in floating balls; mastering proper technique is essential
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveBoth loop drives and heavy attacks are suppressed and land safely in the opponent's court. With excellent control and aggressive capability, it's the most well-balanced rubber for defensive players.
    ▽ CriticalThe added weight and hardness make already-heavy defensive rackets difficult to handle. Sloppy swings produce weak balls, and considerable practice is required to use it effectively.

      Clumsy Maru （Experience：６〜１０ years） Insensitive to the opponent's spin

      Reviews by user

      Because of its hardness, it's quite insensitive to the opponent's spin, giving me a sense of stability when receiving and cutting.
      I can also reliably switch between knuckle cuts and cutting cuts.
      Drives also benefit from the hardness, producing a good amount of spin and speed, and I think it will feel good once I get used to it.
      If I had to mention a downside, it's that if you have a half-hearted swing, the ball will go in a pretty bad direction.
      Even with lobs, if you just make contact, the ball will drop short, so you need to swing hard to get the lob in, which is a bit difficult for a cut player.
      Also, I've gotten used to it now so I don't really mind it, but when I first bought it, it felt quite heavy.
      I've also seen reviews that say backhand pimples become easier to hit, and when I actually started using it, I thought my backhand pimples became much faster.
      I think I'll get used to this too.
