What stood out to me most during the test-hit was the trajectory. My backhand is a bit weak and I tend to rely on meet-style shots, which usually gives a flat, straight trajectory, but when I used this rubber…
No matter how I hit it, it produced a stable arc every time. So the ball itself stayed stable. I thought that was interesting and moved straight on to game practice… but, well.
That very trajectory ended up working against me, in a way…
Even on shots meant to finish the point, the ball came out looking clean. I was surprised.
But the opponent got used to it and was basically waiting to pick it off. On top of that, the short game brought out the worst side of spin-oriented tension rubber, in the bad sense…
It bounces too much, making it hard to control.
That said, it's stable when it comes to bigger strokes, so I'd say it's a rubber that works well for just about anyone. As expected of VICTAS.
Thanks for reading.Overall Speed Spin Control

• What really stands out is how easy it makes countering. The stability is good enough that you could aim to be a counter-punisher with it. On top of that, pushes are easy too, so it's very easy to bait your opponent into attacking.
• The feel is the hardest among the Tenergy series. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone currently chopping with a tacky rubber who feels their bounce is lacking. After all, you can play stable defense whether close to the table or far back.
• As I mentioned, it's a bit hard, so it seems better suited to the forehand, but I can use it on either side. (I just like hard rubbers.)Overall Speed Spin Control

First off, with this rubber, the lifespan is simply outstanding. The drives are outstanding. The serves are outstanding.
It really lasts a long time. Before buying I thought it was expensive, but once I got it, seeing this lifespan for this price... I actually wondered if Yasaka was going to be okay lol
As for drives, with this thing you can pretty much do whatever you want. The height of the loop and the amount of spin are just perfect, so it must be pretty nasty for the opponent to deal with.
As for serves, like everyone else says, it's easy to use spin-based techniques, so they bite really well. It doesn't feel like I'm putting much spin on it myself, but when you actually watch it, it's a strange rubber that somehow produces some seriously nasty spin on the serve.
If I had to name a weak point, it'd probably be flat-hitting techniques. Being a hybrid rubber...
once you hit it past a certain power threshold, it suddenly flies way long. Seriously. It genuinely surprised me. I called it a weak point, but if you can master that trait, it'll probably be a really powerful rubber!
I'd love for students to try this rubber at least once.Overall Speed Spin Control

The whole concept of this rubber is taking the best of both the 05 and 64, and I think it really shows - it's a great rubber.
That said, since it's right in the middle in every respect, it's genuinely hard to know whether to play it with a 05 mindset or a 64 mindset. But after a few days of getting used to it, it turns into a really good rubber - kind of a mysterious one, haha.
True to the Tenergy series, it's overall easy to use across every technique, and serves come out nice and short too.
Since it sits right between the 05 and 64, it's an easy rubber to recommend to just about anyone!Overall Speed Spin Control
