The rubber offers very good control and spin, along with ample speed and power. It performs well even when paired with a defensive blade. The sponge is rated as Medium/Medium-Hard, providing a good balance. The weight of the rubber is optimal, not being too heavy or light.

#2September 2022

Control is amazing, with enough speed and spin. It’s very light, which is very important to me. My set now weighs only 171g.

Review:

The rubber has a medium hardness and throw angle, making it not very spin sensitive. For some reason, the 2.0 thickness feels much better than the Max thickness, which feels more mushy and slower. What makes this rubber special is its light weight without being very soft. It offers excellent control, making it worth a try.

I became aware of this rubber through a very good friend who has been playing it on a Butterfly Timo Boll ALC for six months. For him it is “THE feel-good rubber.”

FACTS: According to the manufacturer Victas, this rubber has a sponge hardness of 47.5 degrees. The "most thorough table tennis shop in Germany, “Spin and Speed” ;-P , gives (even) a total hardness. Accordingly, the rubber has 50.2 degree !!! - and is the softest rubber with a 47.5 degrees sponge. … that You can tell !!! Spin and Speed indicate a weight of 61 g (uncut) by 2.0 mm thickness. My blue test rubber in max. thickness had a weight of 47 g by 156 x 151 mm.

I also initially combined my Btfly.T.Boll ALC with the Victas, even though I have had this blade for years, I have not played any more. I have played various other, better rubbers on it in the past. Even on my favorite SZLC blades (Btfly. Zhang Jike “Fake or Stuor Nobilis SZLC Hinoki”) I was not satisfied.

CONCLUSION: Compared to my current favorite rubber, the Nittaku Fastarc G-1, which also has a 47.5 degree sponge, I have to say that the V-11 produces significantly less spin but also accepts significantly less spin. In addition, the maximum thickness of the V-11 is hardly faster than my G-1 with 1.8 mm. (… and in my opinion one of the slowest rubbers with a 47.5 degree sponge!) The so-called “angle play” was unfortunately not possible with the V-11 and it was difficult for me to play with it “powerfully” …

Backhand Performance:

For non-loopers, this rubber excels as a backhand covering. Its lack of spin may pose challenges when serving or performing topspin strokes on the forehand side.

Weight and Characteristics:

The weight of the rubber is remarkable at 41 grams (2 mm cut) and 44 grams (max cut), defying expectations for a 47-degree rubber. Modern tensor rubbers tend to be heavier, allowing for a heavy forehand rubber while maintaining a blade weight under 180 grams.

The rubber exhibits a very linear tensor effect and a medium-hard sponge. It offers a medium-high throw angle and is relatively insensitive to incoming spin, but it also lacks the ability to generate significant spin on opening topspin shots.

Advantages:

  • Serve return
  • Flicks
  • Blocks
  • Flat hits
  • Counter topspin

Disadvantages:

  • Serve
  • Slow and spinny topspin
  • Chop and backspin effects

Incredibly, the Max weight is only 62g (cut: 43g); the 2.0 is 58g (cut: 41g).

#7February 2021

It’s a good rubber, but it’s not hard or medium hard at all. I purchased it looking for a medium-hard but light rubber, but it’s not. It’s a medium-soft rubber with all the pros and cons of a rubber of this type.

It offers good control, a medium-high throw, and it’s very forgiving. However, it has limited spin and power potential. Despite these drawbacks, it’s better than other rubbers in the same range and is really light. For example, it’s about 10 g lighter than a cut Evolution EL-S.

#8January 2021

Good news for Cpen players seeking a lightweight rubber with excellent spin, speed, and control. This one weighs around 39 to 42 grams after cutting.

It’s also suitable for RPB. However, if the factory could enhance the tackiness and extend the dwell effect, it would be even more comprehensive.

#9November 2020

It is ok, so-so, and among the worst Victas. I am very disappointed with the speed, but it has most of the spin. Why?

#10October 2020

With crispier counters and no loss of spin, V11 Extra is better suited for my playstyle than Vega Europe and Rakza 7 Soft. Additionally, it offers easier pushes, all at the same weight of 43g when cut.

#11September 2020

Feels similar to the V15, very light.
Max - 44g,
2.0 - 42g.

#12September 2020

The rubber excels in all aspects of table tennis: speed, spin, and control.

#13Long Time Ago...

I just picked up this rubber because it was light; it’s much lighter than the average rubber. It’s really good for offense, and the spin is crazy. The price is really good at 298 hkd (38 usd). I really recommend it for beginners too.

#14Long Time Ago...

Decided to try it after seeing its review on the Victas YouTube channel. I’ve used V15 Extra on a backhand reverse pimple block, and it’s a great offensive rubber. However, it’s heavy, and for me, it has too much end power, making various shots go over the table.

Then after seeing that V11 was a tamed v15, I replaced it for my reverse pimple block. And there it go, you still have the power, but now with control.

The best selling point is the weight, way lighter than v15. And I didn’t feel it soft; it’s just a bit softer than v15.

Victas V15 Limber Review

Weight:

Really light rubber. At 2.0 and cut to 157 x 150 mm, it weighs around 42-44 grams.

Feel:

It felt much softer than stated by Victas.

Recommendation:

Recommended to use it on a hard and stiff blade.

#16November 2024

It’s very light yet forgiving, with acceptable spin. When used on the backhand, blocking becomes effortless.

FH на Victas Koki Niwa Wood.
Толщина 2.0.
Просто хорошая накладка, но ничего особенного.
Вроде есть и вращение, и мощность, и контроль, но выделить что-то не могу, просто середнячок.
Планирую заменить на V15 или V22.

#18July 2024

It’s a great rubber to keep the weight of your racket light. It’s easy to play with, and it has no real weaknesses. It’s a very good backhand rubber for my game.

#19July 2024

For those looking to balance their heavy blade, this is your rubber plus a very grippy top sheet. Excellent value for money. 2.0 on both sides of the Primorac Carbon 94g blade gave me a 175g set up. Can’t get better!!

Review text:

Very light rubber.
Amazingly, it has plenty of spin and speed.
Not quite like the V22 DE or some of the Dignics rubber, but a very good rubber.

If you want a light rubber on your racket, and actually a good one, I’d go with either this rubber or the Xiom Omega Euro 7.

#21February 2024

The rubber is great.

#22October 2023

Lighter than Fastarc S1, works like Fastarc G1.

#23August 2023

It is definitely on the lighter side of ESN rubbers. It has the grip of V15 and the tension of a regular ESN product, but it is heavier than Hammond Z2, which I put on my forehand. The combination feels strange in my hand. Since V15 has evolved two more generations, I hope Vitas could develop a lighter version of V22 while maintaining the same capacity.

#24July 2023

Very light (maybe 37-40 grams after cut?? Ridiculous).

Not good for forehand where there is a forward hit. It gives a lot of speed but no big spin, so the ball does not land on the table and no arc.

But for backhand where it’s more wrist and less forward body hit, this rubber feels especially made for backhand topspin. The ball sinks in just right and is released with speed and incredible spin, going on the table with a deadly arc and unreturnable spin even if you thought there’s no way and you hit way too hard.

It also makes the bat a lot lighter, so it’s a lot easier to flex the wrist and hit with speed of rotation.

In my club, I have the best backhand topspin, thanks to this rubber.

#25April 2023

This rubber is amazing. I like my racket lightweight so I was basically forced to use very soft rubbers as they are generally lightweight. I now use this rubber on my backhand, and it is great for blocking and third ball attack when the incoming ball has chop. At the same time, it has allowed me to use a harder, heavier forehand rubber, increasing my forehand power.

#26March 2023

This is a lightweight, spinny rubber that has been my choice for forehand since it came out. I have table tennis elbow, so weight is an important consideration. Excellent control and feel. I play modern defense and use the 2.0mm version. Super for looping and chopping. Satisfactory for generating spin on service. Sometime last year Victas changed the composition of the red rubber. This was visible in a color change to a darker red. It looks nice but it lost some of its spin. The black is unaffected, but I personally would not use the red. I have purchased many of these rubbers from the excellent Table Tennis 11 and am so grateful for their outstanding service.

#27June 2022

Absolutely insane.

#28March 2022

Very much all-around for players who seek control. The very, very grippy topsheet allows for thin brushing contact that can rotate the ball significantly, but it is pretty slow and the spin is below par after activating the sponge.

Review text:

  1. Very long-lived.
  2. Has this special Japanese XIOM type feel, where it just grabs the ball better than any euro rubber and promises more spin than those, at the cost of a bit of speed.
  3. Unreasonably light (like a full 5-10 grams lighter than any comparable power rubber).

Who is this rubber for?

  1. If you want supreme quality on the backhand, this one is just about perfect. This rubber seems almost built especially for the backhand and will work as well as any absolute top-price rubber on that side.
  2. Forehand can be a bit risky. It has a high throw and grips the ball really tightly, so attacks aren’t direct enough to be threatening against a very high-rated player. Against mid-tier players, this will kick their asses.
#30January 2022

Unmatched on the backhand for spin. It’s the best for backhand since it lacks power, but for wristy shots, it has SO MUCH SPIN.

#31November 2021

My “go-to” rubber when I need rubber to lower weight on a blade. Easygoing rubber and can do whatever you ask of it. Can be good on both FH and BH, but it is not a soft rubber. Most blades get along with it as well.
When it comes to TT11, they are amazing at delivering fast and with no mistakes. I have made dozens of orders from them and they have not failed once! They receive a lot of praise here, but it is well deserved! I am impressed!

#32May 2021

It’s a pretty decent rubber. The curve is medium, not too flat. There’s some power, and the spin is ok. Not as much as Butterfly rubbers, or other spinny rubbers like MXP, etc. Far from being perfect, I would say it’s ok as a BH option. It’s medium-hard, leaning towards softness. Very light though, even at max thickness it is still quite light. I tried it for a little bit but I switched back to my Tibhar Aurus Select, which to me is the perfect BH rubber.

#33November 2020

Very good JOKER rubber that makes everything beautifully spin, control, block, or smash. It is very good as a forehand or backhand rubber. It is an especially super lightweight rubber.

#34November 2020

Nice, but not much spin in this rubber.

#35August 2020

I was using V15 Extra before I bought this, and I can say it is better than I expected. It felt like I have been playing with it for years which shows it’s very similar to V15. It excels in speed and spin. I love the rubber and would recommend it to everyone.

#36July 2020

Best service from TT11.

#37October 2022

It is light and can grip the ball, but not as powerful as other famous rubbers.

#38February 2022

This is a fast, spinny rubber with a relatively hard sponge. It is comparable to V>15, but the sponge is lighter and the throw is higher, just as advertised. I have found it to be long-lasting as well.

#39September 2021

Realmente muy buena, es más ligera que la V15 y el efecto es excelente.

#40March 2021

This is a superb rubber of the highest quality. Very good sponge density and very good top rubber layer. It is still 42g as a cut piece, which makes the racket lighter than the others. It is my main rubber now for both BH and FH.

#41February 2021

Very light rubber. What I like about this rubber is that it is insensitive to incoming spins. I had a hard time receiving a friend’s serve, but after having my new Koki Niwa Pen blade with V11 extra, I have found that all the magic of his serves was suddenly gone. I could easily win a match against him now. What I don’t like about it is that because it is insensitive to spins, it generates less spin as well.

#42February 2021

Excellent with my blade, Primorac Carbon ST.

#43February 2021

The stated characteristics do not match. Tested based on Victas AFC. My verdict: for beginners…

#44February 2021

The speed is good and I used it for my backhand, particularly in blocking. The spin is quite good too.

#45November 2020

The best lightweight table tennis rubber. Very good in all aspects: spin, smash, control for forehand and backhand alike. Highly recommended.

#46November 2020

First time I tried a rubber from Victas and was pleasantly surprised! Only bought one for a test and regretted not getting a pair! Good speed spin and control at any distance from the table!
Played on Korbel and Viscaria, it worked perfectly on both!
Thanks for the excellent service and fast delivery!

#47November 2020

Control is amazing, with enough speed and spin. It is very light, which is very important to me. My set now weighs only 171g.
