Victas VJC > 07 Sticky Extra - A new hybrid rubber which perfectly joins Japanese and Chinese influences!
The history of the company Victas reaches far back into the past, and commences as early as 1931. Back then, the name of the company was Yamato Takkyu AG. In 2017, a new name was found: The VICTAS AG. Also in terms of rubbers, Victas constantly developed. One of the latest products among ping pong rubbers from the Victas VJ > 07 series is a hybrid, the
Victas VJC > 07 Sticky Extra. The hybrid-like character explains the letters "VJC", which means
Victas
Japan
China, combining typical Japanese as well as Chinese properties. In detail, these constitute a
hard Japanese sponge (47.5°), and a
highly catchy Chinese topsheet (hybrid rubber).
Victas VJC 07 Sticky Extra - A closer look, please!
The Victas VJC 07 Sticky Extra exhibits a very positive and pleasant overall feeling: The hardness of the sponge causes a
very good directness of the balls, which significantly
increases the speed. This effect particularly becomes evident when doing hard shots and rallies. The catapult effect is only slightly affected due to the hard sponge (the ball is still able to penetrate into the material). This can further be compensated by choosing thicker sponges.
The highly catchy topsheet is the main reason as to why the ball literally sticks to the rubber when hitting. It is not slipping off. Hence, you can transfer an
extreme amount of rotation toward the ball! This is an ideal prerequisite for table tennis players who prefer rotational topspins. But also serves and returns exhibit an incredible amount of rotation!
Nevertheless, the Victas VJC > 07 Sticky Extra offers a
good measure of control. This is because the sponge of this rubber is not too hard. For this reason, the VJC 07 Sticky Extra is an
offensive (Off) rubber, which still provides a good amount of control & feeback.
