Victas V > 01

I use it on BH (with V>15 on FH) and it’s a very good match. It has great control and blocking abilities. I also appreciate its light weight.

It’s also a perfect rubber for beginners, very easy to play with: linear, and forgiving. Since it’s inexpensive, I recommend it to all my beginner friends and they are always satisfied.

Perfect rubber for backhand, offers very good control and speed with good spin. It works very well with stiff blades. Really recommended and must try.

Sure, this is the best rubber I have ever tried. It has very good spin, a white medium-hard sponge. I tried the black 2.0 on the backhand with a Donic Appelgren Exclusive (a poor blade), and I think it is similar to Barracuda, but faster.

This is the second piece of Victas 01 I have used. I am very happy with the overall performance. The balance is excellent. However, the durability is average.

I used it on a Bty. Taksim, ALC blade. I found that 01 plays definitely better than 01 Limber.

Victas rubbers are often on sale as promotions for a new brand. I recommend buying one to try them out. I believe you will like them.

Worst Durability I’ve encountered in over 25+ years of playing. DO NOT BUY!!!

After less than 4 weeks, it deteriorated so much that it became necessary to clean it after and sometimes in the middle of the games because even the tiniest amount of dirt made it unplayable! After 7-8 weeks, it lost almost all of its grip and became totally UNUSABLE!

For comparison purposes, I’ve recently used a sheet of Yasaka Rakza 9 for over 15 MONTHS (not weeks!), Rakza X for around 12 months, and Xiom Omega 5 Asia for around 10 months. I’m not some “tt rubber destroyer,” and I don’t even play a lot of hours.

I don’t see myself EVER purchasing anything made by “Victas” again.

I played Tenergry 05 my whole life. I tried a lot of rubbers:

• Tenergry 64 (no spin and too stiff like 05)
• Tenergry 25 (too heavy)
• Tenergry 80 (too - I don’t know - but I didn’t like it. No spin, no control maybe)
• Evolution series MXP: very heavy and very fast but no control. Spin is okay but not like 05; other Evolutions too soft for me and don’t have enough spin for me

V01-stiff (too stiff the rubber surface, not good with plastic ball)

Then I found Victas V01:

• The best balanced rubber in the whole universe
• Maybe a little less spin like 05, but way better than 64 or 80, and the throw angle is perfect: not as high like 05, not as low like 64
• Softer topsheet like 05 but not too much; it has very optimal dwell time (I prefer 2.0mm)
• I tried the max sponge but I didn’t like it
• 2.0 is the same as the Tenergry 05 but way better feeling (control) and faster. I’m not a beginner, so trust me on this one
• Worth trying

The rubber is the best I’ve ever used! It’s simply awesome!

This rubber is perfect for my attacking style. It gives me great spin and power, and it’s very durable. I’ve been using it for over a year now and it still performs like new.

I would highly recommend this rubber to any player who is looking for a high-quality, durable rubber. It’s the best rubber I’ve ever used and I’m sure you’ll love it too.

Pros:

• Great spin and power
• Durable
• Affordable

Cons:

• None that I can think of

The rubber appeared to be very hard at the start of play. I had difficulty making FH topspins because I needed very much effort to lift a backspin chop. Blocking was hard too though I have a good feeling at it. The ball would go long.

Later on, I accommodated, maybe the sponge softened too. Now I really like this rubber. I use a Red max sponge version on my FH.

I feel pretty comfortable and confident now at the 3rd ball attack and at long rallies too. I’ve been using it for 7 months now and it hasn’t worn out almost at all, but I play quite rarely.

Best rubber I’ve ever tried <3

Blocking, spinning, and smashing are all so much easier with this rubber than my last forehand rubber. It sometimes feels like a miracle how easily I can block or spin the ball back!

This rubber exhibited poor durability despite limited use, a common characteristic of German-made rubbers. After a few months, it developed a fully plastic sensation.

Despite these shortcomings, the rubber possesses unique qualities. The sponge compresses significantly upon contact and then rapidly rebounds, creating a trampoline-like effect with an elongated trajectory. This attribute provides an exceptional feel, deviating from its advertised 47.5 hardness towards a softer 45 hardness.

The rubber is remarkably user-friendly and relatively insensitive to spin. Open-ups are easily executed, and all strokes can be performed effectively. It shares similarities with T64, enabling effective counters from mid-distance and powerful off-the-bounce shots, particularly when new.

The primary drawback is its grip. High-level players may notice a noticeable reduction in spin on serves, short games, and handling of half-long balls. Despite this, the rubber offers superior grip and durability compared to the Etika.

Overall, the rubber resembles T64 in terms of characteristics, offering less grip but a distinctive sponge feel. Its performance is linear and user-friendly, with an arc that falls between T64 and Etika. As is typical of ESN rubbers, durability is lacking.

While the rubber excels in generating effortless loop kills, it does not produce significant spin. As a result, players may experience a trade-off, sacrificing shot quality for increased ball control. An alternative option, T64, is available at a higher cost. However, considering the affordability of the V>01, it may be more cost-effective to replace it regularly, based on individual preference.

Great rubber for spin, speed, and control. Suited for both BH and FH with a medium arc. If you have used Victas V < 15 on the backhand, your index finger does not touch a part of the imprint. The rubber is fast but is not loaded with a catapult, meaning you need to generate a lot of the force yourself.

A very good product.

Кто еще не играл этими резинками, значит многое пропустил.

Fast, spinny, controlled, blocking, looping, flat hitting… all better than expected. This rubber does it all for me; on the backhand it is spinny and fast; unaffected by incoming spin. I have used it on wooden and carbon blades and it works well on both. Not quite as fast as Xiom Sigma for me, but perhaps as good if not better all around. Time will tell how longevity is… As usual, fantastic and seamless service halfway around the planet.

This has been my forehand rubber of preference for 2 years now. I started with Victas 01 Stiff, but quickly realized I needed a little more power.

I’m a club-level player, my control is barely average. I had to quit tensor rubbers like Omega V from Xiom, or Tenergy 05, etc. Victas 01 provides a lot of power, but no catapult; so you get what you put into the ball. Period.

That’s exactly what I needed, so I’m absolutely thrilled with these beauties. I have three, on three different wooden blades now, I’ve been testing blades for years. Right now, I just put a Victas 01 on them, and have fun.

I did try it on my backhand, but found it a little too fast for my liking. I’m using Stiga Mantra M for that. (I might try Victas 01 Stiff on my BH for that matter). Will keep you guys posted. Enjoy these rubbers…!

Отличная замена Tenergy.

Review text:

Juego estilo penholder japonés y es una goma de muy buena velocidad y control, de lo mejor que he probado para mi estilo. Sin comentarios. 100% recomendable.

I used it for FH and it works very well for me. It seems to have gotten softer after a month of use. Then I tested it on my BH and it works great. I can lift the ball from underspin inside the table.

This is the best forehand rubber for me as of today. I put it on a TB ZLC and I’m still using the rubber for my forehand.

Good rubber.

Good rubber.

Great rubber. One of the best on the market. It lasts longer than most popular brands.

I have grip tape on all my blades to protect my hand from the wood handle. It is soft and does a great job.

Thanks to TT11, I found this rubber. I like the Bluefire, but I prefer this one.

Monster rubber, I think.

Very good for close-to-the-table play.

This is really a good one for attacking players who want that extra zip on their topspin. It gives that powerful shot, opponents can feel the ball heavy when receiving. At the same time, it has that control for depth touch. Among all the renowned top brands, this is simply out of the blue pick for me.

When playing on the left, it is necessary to extend the shot more, otherwise, with simple chops it pulls into the net, or play on the left as actively as on the right, then you get a great game of table tennis.

Really great! I use it in 2.0 mm with a Victas Quartet Speed and the combination is awesome! Great control for blocks and power shots with or without spin.

The best rubber I ever had. Great balance between speed, spin, and control.

Drives very good.

This rubber has a medium-soft sponge, good for looping and spin-loaded shots. The short game is good and soft touch for those drop shots. Overall, this is the best place to get Victas rubber because it costs the least compared to other places.
