    The VS > 402 Limber is the softest variant of the tacky VICTAS VS series. The tacky, elastic top rubber sheet was combined with the high-catapult Limber offensive sponge and opens up a new dimension of playing. Thanks to the new 40° sponge, this High Energy Tension rubber provides for outstanding control in offensive play and great sound. With the highly tacky top rubber sheet you can put pressure on your opponents with dangerous serve/return variants and spinny topspin/backspin strokes. This unique sponge/top rubber sheet combination creates countless opportunities for flexible allrounders.

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly rated as a defensive-focused rubber for cutting specialists, featuring a soft sponge that provides excellent control and stability. While attack performance is modest, the high precision of spin and cutting is supported by players seeking balance between defense and offense.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Exceptional control and easy stable cutting performance
    • Soft sponge suitable for beginners to advanced players
    • Adequate driving and attacking capability, ideal for defensive playstyle
    • Lower spin than sticky rubbers but allows easy variation
    • Short durability but excellent cost performance
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveAfter switching from a sticky rubber, it enables fast low-arc drives with only 80% effort. Cutting attacks have good control, fewer mishits, and allow aggressive play. Recommended for cutting specialists who want to attack.
    ▽ CriticalThe soft hardness makes it difficult for players using scraping cuts. Prone to slipping when serving with friction, and slipping is noticeable during attacking drives.

      Cutman No.3 (Experience: More than 20 years) Comparison with Hurricane Neo3 Verified Purchase

      Reviews by user

      I normally use the Hurricane Neo 3, but with my strength declining, I picked this as my next rubber to try. My honest impression is that I found the best rubber. With the Hurricane, because it's so tacky, attacking with drives required a lot of swing power. With this rubber, even at 80% power, I can hit a fast, low-arcing drive. Chopping also feels well-controlled - the spin is a bit less than the Hurricane, but you can grind it out with control and how easy it is to hold the ball down. Whether you hit it flat and crisp or brush it when you go for a finishing shot, there are few overshoot misses, so I think it's a rubber that lets you attack with confidence. I'd recommend it for the forehand of choppers who want to attack.

      Aim for Matsushita‼︎ (Experience: 4〜5 years) The best rubber‼︎

      Reviews by user

      Compared to the VS>401, every technique becomes way easier and it feels like a real level up.
      I rated the speed as 10, but in practice it's more like 12.5 when attacking and 7.5 when chopping. I have it on max thickness on my forehand, and even my chops fly low with a solid trajectory and good spin. It's easy to block even against the opponent's hard shots, and I can also chop with heavy, low spin on balls that get rallied back to me.
      As for attacking, even though this is mounted on a chopping blade, I can confidently finish points from anywhere — over the table, with topspin drives, with smashes — and just as easily keep the ball in play when I need to. It's a soft rubber, around 40 degrees, but it still has great power, speed, and spin when attacking. This is my top recommended rubber.

      Short pips Cutman Feels good, but…

      Reviews by user

      I used this when I was just starting out as a chopper.
      You can do offensive techniques like drives to a certain extent. But when the opponent counters with a smash swung down from above, it feels like you lose that exchange pretty quickly. I can't shake the impression that it's a purely defensive rubber. It's easy to control, and even beginners can keep a chop rally going with it.

      I'm a right-handed shakehand player
      Bought this as my second rubber
      Loop drives grip really well
      Chops work pretty well too — insane amounts of spin
      Smashes have good speed but I'm just not good enough to land them
      I think it's an easy-to-use, good rubber

      mash (Experience: 2〜3 years) Choppers should give this a try

      Reviews by user

      The sponge is limber, so the control is really easy. It gives a nice arc and lets you play a stable game. Drives come out with no problems, and blocks land firmly on the table too. Tacky.

      Shoshinsha Kozou (Experience: 4〜5 years) Perfectly tuned bounce

      Reviews by user

      Using this at max thickness on the forehand of a chopping blade. As for attacking, hitting hard gets you decent speed. It doesn't quite reach mainstream tension rubber levels, but it's just a step below that. The topspin drive is easy to use, so attacking with lots of spin makes it easy to draw errors from your opponent. As for chopping, it cuts well and the control is excellent too. At max thickness it tends to overshoot a bit, so I found the thick version easier to use. It's a great rubber for mixing chops and drives into your play. I also think it's excellent on the backhand of an inverted-on-both-sides chopper.

      Reviews by user

      The control is really good, so it's easy to chop with. It's slightly tacky, so putting on a TSP tacky-protection sheet made it last longer.
