Victas VO > 101 stands out with its optimized short pips geometry, soft sponge and flat trajectory, suitable for aggressive attacking players emphasizing speed and opponent pressure:
Top Sheet Composition: The optimized geometry short pips with High Energy Tension technology ensure strong short pips effect, allowing generation of fast, flat shots with minimal spin that pressure opponents. The surface effectively neutralizes incoming spin, making it suitable for blocking topspin shots and executing sudden counter-attacks. Compared to Victas VS > 402 Double Extra (~45° sponge, ~12.0/20 speed, ~13.1/20 spin), VO > 101 offers higher speed (~13.5/20 vs. ~12.0/20), less spin (~11.0/20 vs. ~13.1/20) and less control (~10.8/20 vs. ~12.6/20) due to the short pips structure.
Sponge: The soft (~37.5°) elastic sponge provides explosive speed and dynamism, ensuring fast shots and efficient energy transfer. Compared to Butterfly SpinArt (~50° sponge, ~12.5/20 speed, ~14.0/20 spin), VO > 101 offers higher speed (~13.5/20 vs. ~12.5/20), less spin (~11.0/20 vs. ~14.0/20) and less control (~10.8/20 vs. ~11.5/20). Compared to Yasaka Rakza PO (~40° sponge, ~12.8/20 speed, ~11.5/20 spin), VO > 101 offers higher speed (~13.5/20 vs. ~12.8/20) and slightly less control (~10.8/20 vs. ~11.0/20).
High Energy Tension Technology: The short pips topsheet with High Energy Tension technology and soft sponge work synergistically to ensure high speed and emphasized short pips effect. The flat trajectory (7.5/10) allows executing fast, straight shots that pressure opponents, especially close to the table. Compared to Stiga Clippa (8.0/10 trajectory, ~12.5/20 speed), VO > 101 offers higher speed (~13.5/20 vs. ~12.5/20) and slightly lower trajectory, suitable for more aggressive attack.
Spin and Trajectory: The short pips ensure flat trajectory (7.5/10), facilitating fast flat shots, counter-attacks and blocks. The rubber is effective in neutralizing incoming spin, making it suitable for blocking topspin shots and executing sudden attacks. Compared to DHS Cloud & Fog 3 (~10.5/20 spin), VO > 101 offers less spin (~11.0/20) but higher speed (~13.5/20 vs. ~11.0/20) and flatter trajectory.
Control: Due to the short pips structure and soft sponge, the rubber provides good control, especially when blocking, flat hitting and counter-attacking, but requires technique to fully utilize its spin potential. Compared to JOOLA Rhyzm-P (~11.5/20 control), VO > 101 offers slightly less control (~10.8/20) but higher speed.
Technical Indicators and Playing Characteristics:
Speed (108/100, ~13.5/20): Victas VO > 101 is an extremely fast rubber, suitable for aggressive flat shots, counter-attacks and blocks close to the table. The soft sponge ensures explosive speed allowing domination in fast rallies. Compared to Victas VS > 402 Double Extra (~12.0/20 speed), VO > 101 is faster (~13.5/20). Compared to Nittaku Moristo SP (~13.0/20 speed), speed is higher while control remains competitive.
Control (86/100, ~10.8/20): The short pips and soft sponge ensure good control, especially when blocking, flat hitting and counter-attacking close to the table. Compared to Yasaka Rakza PO (~11.0/20 control), VO > 101 offers slightly less control (~10.8/20). Compared to Butterfly Tenergy 05 (~12.0/20 control), control is lower but speed is significantly higher.
Spin (88/100, ~11.0/20): The short pips generate sufficient spin, especially on topspin shots, serves and light chops, though spin is less than traditional inverted rubbers. Compared to Stiga Clippa (~11.5/20 spin), VO > 101 offers slightly less spin (~11.0/20). Compared to DHS Hurricane 3 Neo (~15.5/20 spin), spin is significantly less but speed is higher.
Trajectory (7.5/10): Flat trajectory facilitating fast flat shots, counter-attacks and blocks. Compared to Yasaka Rakza PO (8.0/10 trajectory), VO > 101 offers lower trajectory, suitable for more aggressive attack. The trajectory is stable, suitable for fast shots close to the table.
Sponge Thickness: 1.8 mm suits players seeking balanced speed and control, while 2.0 mm enhances speed effect, ideally suited for aggressive attackers.
Playing Aspects:
Topspin Shots (8.8/10): Effective for topspin shots, especially on forehand, due to short pips effect and soft sponge dynamism. Suitable for fast opening shots and rallies close to the table.
Blocking (9.5/10): Extremely effective in blocking topspin shots close to the table, especially due to short pips neutralizing incoming spin and soft sponge stability.
Push Shots (8.7/10): Allows precise pushes on backspin or no-spin balls, though spin is less than traditional rubbers.
Chopping (8.5/10): Effective for light chops, especially due to short pips effect, though less suitable for purely defensive style.
Counter-Hitting (9.6/10): Extremely effective for fast counter-attacks close to the table, especially due to soft sponge's explosive speed.
Smashing (9.7/10): Extremely effective for flat hits generating fast and precise trajectories with great power.
Serves & Receives (8.9/10): Allows serve control though spin is less than traditional rubbers. Effective in passive receives (9.4/10) and active receives (9.2/10) due to speed and control.
Flick Shots (9.3/10): Banana flicks are easily executed due to short pips effect and soft sponge, ensuring speed and accuracy.
Compatibility with Blades:
Victas VO > 101 pairs well with fast and all-round blades that complement its speed, control and short pips effect:
Butterfly Zhang Jike ALC (~12.8/20 speed, OFF+): Enhances rubber's speed and attacking potential, ideal for forehand by aggressive players.
DHS Q968 Hurricane King National (~12.9/20 speed, OFF+): Complements rubber's speed and short pips effect, suitable for forehand.
Nittaku Eto 2025 Snake (~13.0/20 speed, OFF+): Provides excellent speed-control balance, suitable for forehand.
Donic Skachkov Carbospeed (~13.1/20 speed, OFF+): Complements rubber's speed, suitable for intense flat shots.
Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive (~11.5/20 speed, OFF): Suitable for players seeking slightly softer blade for control.
It is recommended to use VO > 101 in 1.8 mm thickness on forehand with faster blades (e.g., Butterfly Zhang Jike ALC) or 2.0 mm with all-round blades (e.g., Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive) to maintain racket balance and maximize speed and short pips effect. Due to soft sponge and short pips structure, the rubber is more suitable for forehand, though experienced players may use it on backhand combined with another rubber on the opposite side.
