External Review for Victas VS>401 on December 3, 2024

I am not a defender, not a chopper. I am a spin oriented power looper on FH and all round attacker on BH. I bought this rubber as my FH attacking rubber in 2.0 on FZD ALC blade. When I serve, I set up a powerful opening loop with the aim to win straight from the 3rd ball and keep attacking if any blocks come back. This rubber is perfect for this because it can give spinny, short, low backspin serves - most of the time my opponent's cannot flick them and have to push, I then can use the great grip and spin this rubber has to unleash a powerful 3rd ball loop or to flick fast and spinny if the opponent manages to push short. When I really cannot attack, this rubber can give very short low pushes so it will deny my opponent any counter attacks. On Serve receive I was able to spin and long serve with power because this rubber gives great control. It is NOT slow, it can be used by attacking players who have a powerful swing and just want something very spinny. Basically it's very similar to H3 National Blue sponge but much more forgiving, with a bit of catapult (much less than Tenergy but significantly more than H3). So if you are an H3 user and wanted to try a hybrid rubber - I think this is just great. If you're a Tenergy user and are curious to try H3 or something like that, then try this 1st. I tried this rubber because from it's reviews and description it seemed almost like the Dignics09C to me... I don't know if that's the case, but basically It is a powerful, very spinny, highly controlled rubber with moderately low catapult and good speed. It is very linear. The only down sides are that smashes go into the net and you should spin the ball to create arc. Blocks are excellent but a bit slow compared to T05 and it does react to spin, so on slow spinny loops it can block out. Away from the table you needa bit bigger movements up and forward to create the arc, it won't do it by itself. But at close to medium distance, it's a monster rubber for an attacker!
