Victas Quartet VFC
Blade description:
The Quartet VFC is a composite blade featuring a 5+2 construction, utilizing Fleece Carbon (V-Carbon) layers to enhance power and energy return. While some users describe the blade as fast and capable of high-velocity play, it maintains a soft-to-medium feel, which provides a level of touch and feedback often lacking in stiffer carbon blades. The weight is relatively light, requiring players to consider their setup preference if they prefer a heavier racket.
Playing Characteristics
- Performance and Stiffness: Despite its composite layers, the blade offers a flexible feel that contributes to a distinct “kick” when executing aggressive topspin strokes. This makes it particularly effective for counter-looping at the table.
- Tactile Feedback: The blade allows for precise short-game play and delicate touches. It is suited for technical players who can manage its speed, as it requires a high level of proficiency to control the incoming energy of the ball during active rallies.
- Suitability: The blade excels in long-distance play and when returning sidespin, making it a strong candidate for players focused on spin-heavy, tactical rallies. It pairs well with both soft and hard-sponged rubbers, though it demands a refined technique to maximize its potential.

This is a call to everyone who thinks they have to rate something (especially speed, spin or control) and use the maximum rating of 10. The rating 10 stands for the maximum possible!!!! — and something like that will only be sold to you by a dealer who lies to you in order to sell his goods. AND, please do not enter any ratings in the tables without having written a report!!!!! — with that you are helping “nobody”. Please everyone think about it!
Update from 03/2021: " I love very stiff and hard blades!!!”
After reading the ratings for this blade, I drove to my dealer to have a look at this blade. According to the ratings, she should be stiff and hard. (… and last year, in this ratings, extremely fast). Unfortunately I couldn’t find out (… and my dealer absolutely agreed), this blade is rather flex to average and the stiffness round about soft to medium!!!
Conclusion: If you are also interested at this blade, be sure to hold it in your own hands before you order it anywhere.

- Speed: Off- Off+: More like off though - Feeling: Soft-Medium
Pros: - One of the best blades for counter looping near the table - V carbon (aka ZlC) helps gain power with excellent ball brushing - Fleece carbon provides safety over the table - Similar to Swat Power - Impressive kick after spinning the ball
Cons: - Lightweight (preference for heavier blades) - Requires technical skill due to fast blade speed
Summary: - Grip type rubbers recommended - Sponge hardness inversely proportional to skill level - Offers incredible spin potential - Ideal for players who counter loop near the table and prioritize smart receiving play - Suitable for rating levels between 1850s-2300 in the U.S. - Potential substitute for Niwa Wood or Swat Power, providing enhanced spin with slightly reduced speed
Hope this refined review proves helpful.
