Victas V > 01 Limber

Have exchanged this for my usual go to rubber (Tenergy 05fx) on backhand. I remembered that I had tried this 2 years ago on my forehand and that it wasn't mean enough. But on my backhand now, it's a different story. What can I say? It's lighter than T05FX (43-45g when cut on the Tenergy vs 40-41g when cut for the Victas 01-limber), backhand opening loops are actually easier, because it's easier to brush the ball, it is so much cheaper, because for the 59,90€ that I pay for a Tenergy in Germany I can actually almost get two sheets of V01-limber when it is on sale for 32,90€. I tried it in 2,0mm first as I always chose 1,9mm in the Tenergies, but I found out that I play better with 1,8mm on the backhand. So, there you have it, I found my substitute. At the moment this stands as being better (for me!) than T25FX, T05FX, Ventus Soft, Ventus Spin, Hexer variants, Blue Acuda P2, Hammond Pro Beta and the list goes on. Recommended. Before I forget: The rubber is mounted on a Ma Long 5 all wooden blade, just fyi.

Very good rubber for looping and blocking. Direct hitting is not that easy, but after a while it works.

I use it on BH (with V>15 on FH) and it's a very good match. Great control and blocking abilities. I like its light weight too. It's also a perfect rubber for beginners, very easy to play with: linear, and forgiving. As it's inexpensive I recommend it to all my beginner friends and they are always satisfied.

Yasaka mark v has a speed rating of 8. This rubber is slower, so i rate this a 7.5 for speed. Spin is good. I put max rubber on both sides on a butterfly viscaria blade. The blocking is excellent. Forehand flat hits are excellent. The backhand is slow. Next time I will put a faster rubber on the backhand eg. Victas v22 extra. Underspin pushes are good. Service and serve receive are both good. The rubber when cut to 157 x 150 mm weighs 45 g, so it is light. This rubber feels medium hard.
