is an interesting rubber series for all allround and power-allround players. The harmonic feeling for the game plus a moderate basic speed offer ideal prerequisites for a variable and safe game. Due to the implementation of a highly catchy topsheet, the Victas VS rubbers also offer great possibilities for very rotational strokes, such as openers. The three versions within the VS series can mainly be differentiated due to their sponge hardness. In terms of the speed, the Victas VS > 401 constitutes the Golden Mean of all these rubbers: The VS > 402 Double Extra is faster, whereas the VS > 402 Limber is softer.
The most dynamical version: Victas VS > 402 Double Extra
The
Victas VS > 402 Double Extra offers more power than the basic version VS > 401, however, without sacrificing much of spin and good control. For this, the spin-elastic and very catchy topsheet was combined with a slightly harder sponge. Due to this, attacking balls can be accelerated in an easier and more effective way in order to exert pressure on your opponent. The catchiness of the topsheet of the Victas VS
> 402 Double Extra not only mediates much rotation when doing topspins, but also when doing all imaginable serves, returns, and backspin balls. The extra amount of dynamics makes the Victas VS
> 402 Double Extra a bit more offensive than the Victas VS
> 401. Hence, the former rubber corresponds to a gaming system described as OFF- / All+.
The variable Allrounder: Victas VS > 401
The
Victas V > 401 can be used in a highly variable manner. This is achieved by its perfect match between much control and a moderate overall speed, resulting in a very pleasant and easy-to-master gaming behavior. A compact medium sponge guarantees a great ball safety and maximum precision during the controlled game. Furthermore, the catchy surface of the topsheet allows variable and effective serves / returns with much spin. However, also sensitive & spinny attacks (e.g. to break free from the passive role) easily go off the hand using the Victas VS > 401. For these reasons, one can truly say that this table tennis rubber is perfect not only for experienced and active allrounders (ALL+), but also for inexperienced beginners (ALL).
A loud and very rotational rubber: Victas VS > 402 Limber
With its soft sponge (40°), the
Victas VS > 402 Limber is a bit softer and slower than the basic model within this rubber series. The special Limber-sponge makes this rubber the softest one within the VS series. The VS > 402 Limber is characterized by a perfect control, an extraordinary spin potential, and a great sound when playing harder balls. The incredible feeling for the game makes variable returns, safe and precise blocks as well as counters, and spinny serves go off the hand easily. If necessary, you can also react actively (e.g. by means of rotational topspins with little physical effort) with this table tennis rubber trying to force the opponent to make mistakes. All in all, the Victas VS > 402 Limber is a controlled allround rubber (ALL).
summary on the Victas VS rubbers
The
VS series from Victas offers an interesting and appealing range of perfectly matched rubbers for allround players preferring a controlled game with much safety and success. The highly spinny topsheet also makes these rubbers more active and, hence, more efficient.
