    The new VO > 101 is a very fast and dangerous short pips-out rubber with built-in High Energy Tension Technology. The long experience of our Japanese pips-out exper ts and the know-how of our German researchers (GJ Tec) resulted in a high-tech rubber which leaves nothing to be desired for aggressive pips-out attackers. The new rubber sheet with optimized pips geometry produces a great pips-out effect, and the flat trajectory of the ball will put your opponent under pressure. The elastic sponge combined with our High Energy Tension Technology opens up new dimensions of speed development in the pips-out segment.

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly evaluated as a knuckleball generating machine with outstanding speed and variation capabilities, positioned as a rubber for advanced players. While facing challenges with stability depending on weather and play techniques, it is recognized as a powerful weapon when mastered.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Knuckleballs naturally emerge easily, highly effective as change-ups for opponents
    • Superior attacking power with speed and linear ball trajectory
    • Difficult to apply spin, unsuitable for drives and backspin shots
    • Susceptible to humidity and weather changes, stability issues present
    • Compatible with hard rackets, requires advanced technical skills for proper use
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe combination of one-shot penetrating power and knuckleball performance is exceptional. When mastered, it delivers top-class offensive power among speed-type offensive rubbers, making it extremely difficult for opponents to handle.
    ▽ CriticalOn rainy days, friction disappears and balls lose grip, requiring significant changes to playing style depending on weather conditions, making it unsuitable for players seeking stable performance in all conditions.

      Owner of a tabby and white cat and a mackerel tabby cat （Experience：１１〜２０ years） It's easy to produce knuckleballs, but it's extremely vulnerable to humidity.

      I use this rubber on my penhold grip with a forehand pips, and personally, I find the 2.0mm thickness to be ideal.

      Because it has tension, even weaker players can hit the ball with considerable speed. Light shots are easy to control, and even just forehand shots will produce knuckleballs. However, when hitting hard, the ball flies in a straight line, so you need to slightly cover the ball to avoid overhitting.

      On the other hand, on rainy days, it feels like it's become an anti-spin rubber; the friction disappears completely, and it doesn't grip the ball well. Therefore, in matches with sunny mornings and heavy rain in the afternoons, you have to adjust the racket angle after each match, or give up on drives and switch to angled shots and flat hits. It becomes an extremely difficult rubber to use. Even forehand shots before a match become prone to net errors for both you and your opponent, and pushes become all floating knuckleballs without any spin. However, blocks and short shots produce incredibly powerful knuckleballs.


      Even on rainy days, if you play well, you can beat higher-ranked opponents, but you also often make mistakes.

      I definitely wouldn't recommend this to anyone who wants consistent play regardless of the weather.
