I will have to rate this again after few months but the first impression is that this rubber has incredible control. Then again, I have it on both sides of Koki Niwa Wood and that blade has the best control in the world. Actually it is really trivial to estimate rubbers if you don't tell what blade you are using. With my blade V>01 Stiff feels medium soft and has a medium throw angle (over 5). Great for blocking and close to the table play. Nice for looping. For some reason I can't get enough spin to the serves but the reason is probably my lack of technique. Most reviews tell that this is a great BH rubber. It is a good one but I would rather keep it on my FH and take for example Rakza Z for BH.

A lot heavier than noted 4.0. Paired a max red FH & a 2.0 black BH on a 84g Yasaka Ma Lin Max Carbon, total weight 189g. Just before, I had on the same blade 2 Yasaka Mark V HPS max red FH & 2.0 black BH but only 174g total weigth, with the same number of glue layers. 15 g heavier, I can't believe it.
Spin is good but also a lot less than Mark V HPS, you have to engage a lot more the sponge to get high spin but resulting often out of the table, this is true for topspin attack but also for aggressive pushes and short game in general. So, as less easier to get spin, but also with more catapult, control is for me a less than average note. Consistency and durability seems good.
Not tried on another blade than Ma Lin Max Carbon, but with this blade and I think in general with inner carbon blades, it is not a super rubber but only an average one. Mark V HPS, with its softer top sheet is a lot lighter and significantly better than this rubber.

I used a few sheets of >01 Stiff and also the Limber & Regular. All are good offensive rubbers being more in the balance of power, spin & control. Stiff is being the fastest & Limber gives the most loud sound in hitting. They are users friendly rubbers and easy to handle. The only little weaker point is the average in durability. Often you'll see them on sale for < $US 45, so stock up for a few sheets. You'll like it!
Everybody says this is best in BH. I turn my blade around and for me this is best at FH. Good solid spinrubber, nice throw angle and even flat hits are easy with this. Blocking is like a dream.
After reading some reviews about how good is Victas 01 stiff on bh, I decided to try It. And bingo, another great rubber with excellent overall stats. Speed and spin are great, and It has an amazing control, i've never hit so many killers RPB's. And It took just a few sessions to break in, to achieve the 45 degree hardness feeling, which for me is the best BH hardness. Thanks Victas.
High performance rubber, 45 degree sponge which is very responsive but not bouncy.Excellent grip,spin and control.
Recommended for allround to offensive spin junkies!

I am very satisfied with this rubber on my BH. I used Tenergy 05 before and I was looking for a better control which I have found in Stiff. Spin is great, speed is very good but its way easy to control! Sponge is medium hard but topsheet is really hard rubber what you feel also when you cut it on a blade. Really recommend this rubber!
I got 1.8 red and is currently using it on Hurricane Hao 2 Cpen as my RPB rubber..
The control is superb! consistency of my shots improve...
RPB flicks are easier... Blocking feels good.
I still haven't tested the rubber for rpb looping mid distance to conclude how good it is..
The rubber gave me excellent short game pushes.
The one thing I am having difficulty is my 3rd ball attacking with my bh.. the ball tend to go into the net..
I think the problem is my technique.. it needs adjustment and more practice..
I also think that the rubber is very durable.. it doesn't collect much dust at all

Speed like T64
Spin less a little than T64
Throw Angle slight lower than T64
more insensitive to incoming spin than T64
I use it on my BH, move from T64 & T80 to this rubber at BTY ALC blade

Great rubber, I use it on TBS on BH side, on FH I played with T05. I already throw the T05 and order the second Victas Stiff. Control is suprising well of this rubber and it have a off speed with excelent spin. This rubber is for offensive players who want to control a game with consistant power and spin. If I have to compare Victas with T05, with Victas is easier to do open topspin and it`s less sensitive to incomming spin.
I was looking for a FH (OFF carbon blade) rubber similar with Rasant (for topspin and active block).
Local dealer recomended me V01 Stiff and i'm very satisfied with it.
More control and spin than Rasant.
Enough speed for retopspin 3 - 4 m away. I can even chop 3m away from table.
Speed was too much for me on BH.

Best rubber ever for bh, take the normal Victas V > 01 for forehand. Victas Stiff is best for bh.
