    Your profile is speed driven. You score flat, fast and without any detour.

    As a mid to high level player you will benefit from the medium soft 42° sponge compensating smaller sweet spot inaccuracies of your stroke.

    Be confident and take the risk of fast strokes describing the today‘s offensive semi-distance play.

    The V42 will increase your sweet spot minimising scatter losses even at high speed play.

    ▲ PositiveAfter using various rubbers on the backhand side, this is the easiest to use. Backhand hitting, driving, and receiving are all easy to perform, and I believe this rubber suits most people in general.
    ▽ CriticalDue to its speed focus, flat hits tend to occur and spin doesn't bite as much. While the sponge hardness of 42 degrees is soft, the feel when hitting is actually harder, so those who prefer softer rubbers should definitely try before purchasing.

      I've used all kinds of rubbers on my backhand, and this is the easiest to use by far.

      Backhand flat hits, topspin drives, and receives are all easy with this.
      It's not for people who want to crank out heavy topspin drives on the backhand, but I think this rubber will suit most people in general.

      I've gone through plenty of go-to backhand rubbers like Rozena, Fastarc C1, and Rakza X Soft, but it looks like I'll be sticking with this one for a while.
      It's a bit pricey, but definitely give it a try.

      Gorgeous (Experience: Less than a year) Perfect for backhand!

      Reviews by user

      I highly recommend this for the backhand.
      If you're not very confident on the backhand and can't take a full swing, this really shows its power.
      Just a compact hit and the ball goes right where you're aiming. Blocks, chiquitas, and other short-game shots are easy too — it's wonderful.

      "" (Experience: ２〜３ years) For beginners to intermediates, and high performance too!

      Reviews by user

      The sponge is soft, so it's easy to control. I use it on both sides, and being part of the V series, the speed performance is definitely high. It also gets a good amount of spin. Once you get used to the V42, I think it's good to move up to the V47 to boost your speed. If you feel like you're not getting enough spin, I'd recommend switching to the R series.

      This is the Rasanter that was all the buzz for a while.
      My impression after hitting with it is that the ball flies in a pretty straight line.
      Maybe because it's a thin sheet, but flat hitting is easier than you'd expect for a spin-oriented tension rubber.
      If you want balance in a rubber rather than just cranking heavy topspin drives all the time, this is easy to use and I'd recommend it.
      That said, even though the sponge hardness is rated at a softer 42 degrees, it actually felt fairly hard when I hit with it.
      This might also be related to the thickness, but if you like a really soft, mushy rubber, I'd suggest test-hitting it before buying.

      Great stability on the backhand. The balance of spin and speed is excellent, and it works for pretty much any player.
