Victas V > 20 Extra

A very controlled rubber, totally insensitive to the opponent’s spin. Compared to the V15 series, a good step forward in quality has been made.

A good buy for early intermediates.

I was playing Victas Ventus Extra (=TSP Super Ventus) before. The V20 Extra also is a very complete rubber for me. It is good for all aspects of play. It can produce a lot of spin (more than Ventus Extra), but is also quite insensitive to incoming spin. It is good for looping, blocking, countering, hitting, and chopping; there is no real weakness. It plays very controlled. It has a pleasant amount of supporting catapult, not too much. I am using this on my FH, glued onto a Yinhe Pro 01. Bought it to try it on the BH, but I was very pleased with the speed and spin using it on the FH. Points can be finished very powerfully when looping or hitting.

Still haven’t found the right rubber, but this is satisfactory.

I am an advanced level player from U.K. I believe the characteristics of this rubber surpass V > 20 Double Extra due to the fact that, in my opinion, the serve receive game is the biggest difference. The slightly softer sponge allows more flexibility and versatility when receiving serves; it also maintains the power of V > 20 Double Extra in the rallies. Playing against backspin is significantly easier due to the amount of spin you are able to generate and the extra bit of absorption created by the softer sponge. The downside is the counter topspin game. I struggled when people hit the ball hard in the rallies; you have to arc the ball more, but it doesn’t take long to get used to. It is the best rubber Victas have released in my opinion, having tried V > 20 Double Extra, V15 Extra, Triple Extra, etc. V > 20 Extra surpasses them all.
