Victas V > 15 Extra

Good rubber for backhand, as it is good for topspin. Good rubber for topspin players. My students' backhand blocks and topspin have improved after using this rubber. The only disadvantage is that it shrinks when we remove it for repasting. With an OFF blade, it gives a good backhand drive from a distance and a good loop from close to the table.

This rubber is a little less efficient than the Triple Double Xtra.

It has a nice topspin arc. It is Tenergy with less catapult and less dwell time. But it is very grippy compared to other rubbers. All topspins land on the table. But it is less spinny compared to V22. It is bouncy in the short game. It has more control and dwell than MX-P, but the speed is the same.

Rubber a bit too hard for my forehand shots… I suppose it is good for advanced players who prefer harder rubbers and have an offensive playing style.

Once proper technique is applied, the ball shoots off like a bullet and wins points. Not my cup of tea. Spin and control sometimes difficult. Would suit more advanced players.

Grande velocità e rispondenza immediata che non compromette possibilità di tocco e controllo.

Great BH 2.0 rubber, relatively easy to create spin.

Excellent

Отличная накладка. FH на Victas Koki Niwa Wood. Толщина 2.0. Контрольная, отлично работает в блоках, при подрезке запилить можно отлично. Считаю очень сбалансированной и подходящей для данного основания.

Last year, I purchased three pieces of blue-colored maximum sponge rubber. The rubber performed well. However, after four to six weeks, all three pieces had shrunk by two to three millimeters. Given this issue, I do not believe the rubber is worth the cost.

Coup droit meilleur avec plus de contrôle. Je compte en acheter un autre pour jouer à Rome en juillet 2024 prochain.

Very good offensive rubber, close to table game, predictable trajectories of the ball, and very good at spiny serves.

The best rubber I have so far. I use the rubber for backhand and forehand. Very repellent. I would totally recommend. Good rubber.

This is a very popular rubber from Victas, maybe the most popular today. Several players in my club use it, either in the forehand (FH) or in both the FH and backhand (BH) positions. However, I haven’t been impressed by it.

Speed is very good, but spin is barely good, and control is average. It’s not a bad rubber, but I think there are better options in every regard. Just to give a few examples I have in mind: Hammond Z2 is as fast but spinnier and has better control. V>22, MX-P or R48 are faster. Vega Pro is spinnier and cheaper.

A very good FH offensive rubber.

After playing Nittaku G1 (2mm), Victas V15 Extra will feel like a G1 with steroids. It is more powerful, more solid, and faster than G1, yet with the same excellent control of the famous G1. Both rubbers are also spinny, but the Victas V15 Extra has more gears.

Serves are very spinny and will force pressure on opponents. Looping is lovely. Smashing is good too. Pushes take some time to get used to, but it’s not hard at all after a few times. Blocking is easy. You don’t have to close the blade angle too much when blocking. It is quite a forgiving rubber.

I know Nittaku released G1 with 2.2mm recently, which I have yet to try. So, I cannot comment on whether the new G1 2.2mm is as good as the Victas V15 Extra. Don’t spend more money on the new V20 and V22 because they are virtually the same as V15 Extra.

Fast and spinny, but not impossible to control. A little bouncy in the short game, but that’s the trade-off for having such accessible levels of spin. Very easy to serve with spin; spinny and controlled on serves—very nice.

Overall, it’s a great close-to-the-table and mid-distance topspin rubber because it doesn’t take exceptional effort to activate the sponge.

This rubber is very hard, very spinny, and very fast. I play it on my backhand now since it was a bit too fast for my forehand. It is quite similar to the Fastarc G-1 that I tried on the same blade.

Best FH rubber is Donic Bluefire M3.

I use it on both FH and BH, and I like the spin it can generate and the control it provides.

Very good backhand rubber. Control is high with a very nice feeling.

A great hard rubber, not to mention the sky blue version blends really well with the original Viscaria, especially for those players who want to match their setups #fashion.

Fast and grippy. Good feeling. I’m still breaking in the rubber, but I notice the rubber is sensitive to heat, so don’t use a heat gun on the installation with glue.

With the Viscaria, it’s not as fast as the Tenergy 05, but offers great control. Low arc in looping, so adjust accordingly. Blocking is good also with this rubber.

This rubber is fast and really enjoyable to use.

The next one I’ll order with blue color, was sold out when I order.

Very good rubber, speed, spin, and very good control.

Top-quality rubber! It has a bit more “bite” than Fastarc G-1 (i.e., a bit faster and a bit more top-end spin on max power loops). Of course, it needs a higher level of technique to get the best out of it, but if you have the skills and are looking for a step up from G1, then this might be the one for you. It’s not too quick on low-to-mid power shots, but when you apply more power, there’s a significant kick. Imagine a cross between G1 and Evolution MX-P, and you’ve got the Victas V>15 Extra.

Facts: Blue rubber in max. thickness (2.2 mm), 47.5-degree sponge hardness. “The most thorough table tennis shop in the world” (Spin and Speed) determined a total hardness of 57.6 degrees. My rubber has a weight of 49 g. (cut, 156 x 150 mm)

I know this rubber is extremely popular, but for me, it is not the measure of all things. If only it would provide more rotation, I could (possibly) imagine switching from the Nittaku FastArc G-1 to this rubber. However, the G-1 not only makes more spin but also a higher arc. The angle game also works better with it.

In the end, I only liked the V>15 better when smashing!

(… well! … and it is easier to control!)

A very good rubber for the backhand. Unfortunately, after a month and a half (three times a week), it is finished.

No la utilicé aún.

Ранее уже брал эту накладку на пробу. За полтора года использования (тренировки 1–2 раза в неделю) ничего не отклеилось, не вздулось, не потрескалось и не рассыпалось. Понятное дело, зона контакта с мячом подизносилась, но прочие варианты обычно столько не жили в принципе. У Andro Hexer (duro/powersponge) посыпалась губка с краёв, у Xiom europe — резинка треснула в нескольких местах. Хотя, может, за это время опыта поднабрался, меньше по столу стучу))).

По преимуществам: прекрасное вращение, продолжительное время контакта с мячом при обработке, достаточно контрольно.

Взял повторно, так как устраивает во всём.

Спасибо tabletennis11 за сборку.

I liked it a lot, but people say that it is not very durable. I do not know if it will really be like that, because the rubber is very good and it is one of the few Japanese types that I would use in the BH instead of the Rakza Z. It has a nice fine touch and control, as well as power.

Very good for BH.

Убойная накладка, но нужно правильно подбирать основание.

Absolutely fantastic for a high-level player. Sponge outlasts the top sheet, and the top sheet is toast FAST. It’s too bad that the top sheet is done-for so quickly because this is one of the best rubbers on the planet. I prefer this over T05 any day. But, I’d say that D09C beats this, and I’m not a Butterfly fanboy by any stretch of the imagination. I wish they made this in 50 degrees, or even 53 degrees too. That would be nice. Victas' packaging leaves room for 50 degrees as well. But, it’s almost 2021 and it still has not happened.

Same as 11, but heavier.

Up there with Tenergy.

The Victas V > 15 Extra is a fantastic rubber for all those who are looking for heavy spin, speed, and consistency. I’ve used many different rubbers over the past years, but this one is definitely worth trying. In my opinion, the rubber is heavily underrated when compared to more expensive sheets. The rubber works perfectly well with ALC carbon blades. Give it a try and don’t always believe what other jealous experts might say. :)

Fair rubber, not very accurate, and difficult to predict.

Appreciate their speedy services and quality products as always! Kudos to the TT11 team!

Very nice for spin and control, but it’s a little bit hard.

Please note that I am reviewing this rubber as a backhand rubber (on ALC blade). That said, I will compare it to the best BH rubbers I have tried: Tenergy 05 and Rakza 7. V>15 Extra fits right between those two.

I found this rubber excellent for BH, especially in the power-control ratio. T05 is still a bit more offensive but harder to control. Rakza gives the same control but lacks the power Victas can produce.

I recommend V>15 Extra for those who like to open attack with BH topspin and also those who like to actively block. Unfortunately, I could not adapt it to my forehand. My FH style requires something with a harder sponge and more speed and spin (think of T05 Hard?). But for BH, I believe I will keep playing with it for a long time.

V -15 Extra is MH rubber. It’s 47.5* offensive rubber. Like most rubbers nowadays, it’s made in Germany but is not an ESN rubber. High-end rubber by TSP/Victas is not cheap for sure. It costs US$54, but I got it from TT11 for a lot less. No question, it’s a good offensive rubber, and the quality is there. But IMO, MXP is a bit better in feel and spin.

Good rubber for FH. Got good spin and control. It helps you elevate your game.

Very good rubber on the Innerforce Layer ALC. Speed, spin, everything is there.

It’s great while it lasts. I switched from Andro Rasant Grip because of availability, and I wanted to be like Koki.

V15-Extra has 3 gears. If you hit flat you can bottom out the sponge easily. It feels a bit slow but control is good due to the low tackiness. At medium angles the rubber plays its worst - counter hitting has high throw angle with average spin.

Control chopping is ok, but nothing amazing. Looping is just insane! At fine angles it feels like I’m aiming at the back wall, but the ball dives very quickly due to the incredible spin. If you can hit it fine enough, backspin is also pretty mad. The soft sponge is forgiving throughout the loop, giving me a lot of confidence.

There are two problems I had with this rubber. Because it worked best at shallow angles I found that I edged the ball a lot more. Secondly, this rubber did not last very long at all. I went through 4 sheets of V15 in under 6 months - about 40 hours of play per sheet. At 40 hours there was obvious signs of wear on my contact points which caused the ball to slide out at shallow angles. The cost of the rubber and the short lifespan makes V15-Extra a pretty bad deal - a shame because I really wanted to love it.

Setup was V15-Extra 2.2 red (fh), Donic Bluefire M3 2.2 black (bh), TSP Swat Power, shakehand grip.

Very good backhand rubber. Control is high and forgiving. Inside out shots or snake shots are amazing.

Good quality rubber pair with Victas Koki Niwa Wood.

First experience with Victas and a very pleasant one; good spin, good speed, and control with feeling. Recommended.

Awesome for FH and BH, great for drive, block, power loop, chop, and flicks. Only downside is slow loops; low tackiness requires more precise timing, but they can still be done.

В сравнении с Tenergy 05 накладка Victas V > 15 Extra медленнее и с меньшей реакцией к приходящему вращению, более контрольная и прощающая ошибки в технике.

Installed on forehand and has very nice smooth control with good power.

I matched this with V01 Limber on the backhand.

I have used this rubber on an ALC, ZLC, and all-wood blade, and it kinda behaves differently. It’s a good rubber; it’s got good control, dwell, and durability. I would say this rubber can be used on both ALC and ZLC. The only drawback is when playing with ZLC, lifting the ball is hard, but for the rest, you can do everything. On the other side, on ALC, it works well. With all wood, I was using Infinity VPS, and I couldn’t feel the ball spinning; it had no dwell time, so I didn’t like it at all.

It’s just a few touches lower as compared to the 05. It’s probably due to the sponge quality, which can be improved in the future.

Very happy with this rubber. I was trying to find a decent replacement for Tenergy 05. It plays a little harder and faster.

Spin is great, you get what you put in. “On average” my game has more spin across all strokes compared to the Tenergy 05.

More linear than Tenergy, not too bouncy in the short game but very fast on power loops.

Overall this rubber plays somewhat similar to the new Tenergy 05 Hard.

Using as a forehand rubber on the Marcos Freitas ALC, you can experience amazing speed, spin, and good control with a very nice feel.

It is considered one of the best alternatives to Tenergy.

Good rubber.

Очень хорошая накладка. Можно играть и на FH, и на BH.

The best tennis substitute for the Tenergy I have ever played.

Fantastic rubber!

Using this rubber as FH on a Tibhar Stratus Defense Wood IN 1.9mm, I switched to it a year ago from Tenergy 05. As a modern defender, this rubber meets all my needs. I’m able to loop just as well as I did with T05, although it does have less spin. However, the speed and throw arc are very similar to T05.

My short game has improved due to this rubber being far less sensitive to incoming spin. It chops like a dream as well. The top sheet does seem to wear out quicker than T05, but at 40-45 USD replacing it every 3-6 months is way better than the 75usd I was paying for T05.

I played with this rubber on Stiga Allround Evolution. On it, this rubber is very good in speed, spin, and control.
For faster blades, this rubber is very fast and very hard.

My setup is Koki Niwa blade + V>15 extra max on FH and V>15 extra 2.0 on BH.

Good when you are determined to put a lot of power in your strokes either with a full arm swing, excellent wrist rotation, or both. With such extreme strokes, the ball will be thrown high enough with super-fast forward velocity. Also, because the rubber is not spin-sensitive, blocking is surprisingly fun and effective. When you stay close to the table with a high ball, you can direct the ball so well and fast; sidespin doesn’t affect ball redirection that much.

Average when you don’t generate enough power, the ball will be pretty flat. If you tend to hold back your hand power, it may feel a bit dissatisfying.

Not ideal for players who rely a lot on spin and placement control. If you’re hesitant or change your mind passively, you’ll likely see the ball go flatter than you’d expect with other spin-sensitive rubbers. So you’d better be really proactive and go for a fast pace. Technically, the speed is fast and can be explosive, but spin is average.

Some notes: This rubber is perhaps easier to use on FH, but pretty cool to use on BH if you are confident. See the BH technique with the rubber on BH here: https://youtu.be/HJRiCGizklU?t=51

Speed like T80
Spin like T05
Throw Angle between T05 & T80
For me, it’s easier to use than T05 (more insensitive to incoming spin than T05, I am curving top spin better)
I am using it for FH, moved from T05 to this rubber on BTY ALC blade.

Nice for spin and control.

Although it emphasizes spin, the rubber is not particularly spiny. What is special is that it offers balanced performance with a non-tacky top sheet, making it less sensitive to spin. This benefits players who often take the chance to attack against backspin. In short, it is just another versatile medium-priced rubber.

Good rubber.

This rubber excels in offensive gameplay.

However, using it on both sides of the paddle is not recommended as it is heavier than average.

Apparently hyped as another Tenergy alternative… Not sure about Tenergy, but in comparison with Tibhar Evolution MX-P or MX-S, this is just a pretty dead rubber. Used it for a couple of weeks on FH (and V>15 Limber on BH), half price anyone? :)

有点难以制造旋转，力量不是很大。优点是速度和不怎么吃转。

My experience and opinion with Victas rubbers are, so beautiful they have become my favorite. Speed, spin, and control are on the mark; they deliver in distance playing and close to the table and cost almost half the price of Tenergy. Highly recommended for the advanced player and all players. A definitely must-have, again they are running parallel with Tenergy.

Hello fellow TT players. After trying this rubber on a friend’s blade at the club, I was very impressed with the nice, smooth control it has. I installed the Red Max Victas V >15 Extra on my forehand side on an Adidas Carbon Strike blade. I’m a right-hand shakehand club-level player. This rubber has very good consistent control with good spin on loops and serves. For soft touch shots, like drop shots, it is very predictable and nice too. When you dial up the power, it’s right there too and has very good power when you need it. So if you’re a mid-level player looking to improve and maintain your control and spin as you develop, this rubber will help your game.

On my backhand, I use Victas V >01 Limber, which also has very good consistent and predictable control, spin, touch, and power. I believe both these rubbers will help me reach the next level as I develop.

This is a fantastic rubber. I love it on bh too… flicks are incredibly easy. It is plenty grippy and spinny. Short game is good too. Coming from T05 and Tenergy 25fx, I found my less expensive alternative. Very happy.
