There's nothing this rubber can't handle in either offensive or defensive techniques, but chops were a bit tricky. Still, once you get used to it, you can put real bite on your chops, so I'd recommend it for intermediate to advanced choppers. The topspin drive really did feel, just like advertised, like it accelerated after bouncing on the opponent's side of the table, and when I blocked a hard hit, it turned into a counter-block that went right back onto the opponent's side. Lobs and fish shots were both easy to pull off too. It's fast enough that smashes go past the opponent untouched and blocks become counter-blocks, the spin is heavy enough that a full swing drive makes the opponent overshoot and a chop using the wrist causes even advanced players to net it -- a rubber that truly lives up to the name "monster rubber." I personally haven't used Tenergy, so I can't compare it to that.

I switched from VICTAS's V>01 to VS>401, and the stability on my chops is amazing!!
I use 2.0mm sponge with the Koji Matsushita Offensive, and I basically never get overshoot misses.
Chopping smashes, which was tough with V>01, has gotten a lot easier. It's almost like the rubber absorbs the power of the ball.
Since I'd been using V>01, the speed and spin felt a bit lacking at first, but the control on chops more than made up for it. The speed, spin, and sharpness of chops when attacking are a step below V>01, but I don't think the speed and spin of VS>401 itself are lacking.
If you put your full strength into a smash, the speed is quite impressive, and if you put a lot of spin on, your opponent will even net the ball. But what this rubber is really about, above all, is control. Even chopping from an awkward position, the cut ball stays low and lands in the opponent's court; for lobs, you can easily do the sidespin lobs that European players use, and counterattacks from far behind the table land reliably too.
This isn't an attacking rubber or a defensive rubber — it's a chopper's rubber built for the all-around style Koji Matsushita envisioned.Overall Speed Spin Control
