Victas V > 20 Double Extra is a high-performance table tennis rubber designed for advanced players seeking exceptional speed, spin, and control. With an overall rating of 9.4 out of 10, this rubber offers a balanced combination of offensive and defensive capabilities.
Players appreciate the V > 20 Double Extra's incredible speed, rated at 9 out of 10, which allows for lightning-fast attacks and aggressive play. The rubber's spin capabilities are equally impressive, rated at 9.5 out of 10, enabling players to generate powerful spin and execute deceptive shots with ease.
Despite its focus on speed and spin, the V > 20 Double Extra also provides excellent control, rated at 8.7 out of 10. This makes it suitable for players of varying skill levels, as it allows for precise shot placement and consistency. The rubber's tackiness level of 0.9 out of 10 contributes to its overall control and enables players to grip the ball effectively.
The Victas V > 20 Double Extra features a sponge hardness of 7.8 out of 10, providing a medium-firm feel that offers a good balance between speed and control. This sponge hardness also contributes to the rubber's durability, rated at 6.7 out of 10, ensuring it can withstand frequent and intensive use.
With its high-end performance and impressive ratings, the Victas V > 20 Double Extra is an exceptional choice for advanced players seeking a rubber that combines speed, spin, and control. Its balanced characteristics allow for aggressive attacking play while maintaining consistency and precision.
V>20 DE Black 2mm is a significant step up compared to V>15 Extra for modern defense players. It offers more control, more spin, and a greater range of play while having less catapult effect and slightly reduced top-end speed.
While V>20 is not categorized as a super fast rubber, it certainly is not slow. The dynamism and speed are expertly balanced, making it one of the most versatile rubbers available on the market today. The sponge has a hardness of 52.5 degrees, but the topsheet is smooth, resulting in an overall feel that is softer than its rating. Importantly, it is still harder than V>15, which I find beneficial.
Chopping with this rubber is exceptional and extremely stable. Additionally, pushing is impressive with a super spinny response. Opening topspin and percussion shots are highly satisfying.
Overall, V>20 DE is a very stable rubber with a wide range of gears and a super grippy topsheet. To date, it is my favorite rubber from Victas.
Review of Amultart 88g - V20 Max Black on FH
The V20 Max black rubber has a soft feeling, making it easy to perform flat smashes. It automatically counters spin effectively, and its push is both good and precise. Additionally, blocking with this rubber feels stable.
Overall, it is an excellent choice for the forehand when paired with a Hinoki carbon outer blade (ZLC). However, I found that the V22 rubber is a bit too bouncy, which is why the V20 pairs really well with my setup.
On the other hand, I do not have the same positive experience with the TB ALC blade; in that case, I prefer using the V22 rubber with Koto/ALC. It might just be a question of personal feeling and preference.
I tried the Fortino DC rubber on both the forehand and backhand sides.
The V>20 has the feel of a supercharged V>15, as if the concept were pushed to the extreme. It is very hard, feeling more like 55-57°, and it is also heavy and demanding. You need to be active at all times. Think of it like H3, but without the tackiness. While the top sheet has a slight tackiness, it is just enough to provide counterspin during the short game.
To unlock the full potential of this rubber and maximize its performance, you must engage the sponge. However, this is not an easy task, as the sweet spot is quite narrow, and you need to find the exact right angle.
You will need a high skill level to take full advantage of this rubber. But once you master it, you will have one of the most powerful weapons at your disposal. The balls are lightning fast—similar to MX-P or T05 but more predictable—and they generate even more spin than what you can achieve with H3. If you possess the skills, you will be rewarded with the highest speed, heaviest spin, and exceptional counterspin capabilities. Your opponents will definitely feel the pressure.
If you aren’t confident in your skills yet, don’t worry—there are plenty of other options available. Next, I plan to try C53 to see how it compares; my guess is that they are quite similar.
