I've been testing V2C as well, and it's an odd beast for me, coming from D09c and H3 prior to that. In some sense the topsheet feels hard? I have a harder time lifting backspin with my usual technique - a thin brushing loop tends to go into the net, full engagement tends to go off the table. I've had to hit into the ball but with less arm speed to reliably loop backspin, where with D09c and H3 you kind of want to go hard and trust the grip of the rubber. With V2C the ball has a tendency to shoot off faster than I expect. V2C feels great topspin vs topspin though.

So, my Genextion V2C final opinion for my backhand. It's demanding, but it's for the best. I need to be less lazy if I want to prevent some net errors. On the first loop, the ball does not compress the sponge as much as a NUZN 48, so it's not that easy to have the good touch to put the ball on the table. The ball goes wide because of this sometimes.
=> The Genextion V2C is way less secure than NUZN 48.
On the other hand, when I strike the ball to attack, I win the point most of the time. A long pips player I beat last night felt like I had the hardest BH to return of the tournament. He exagerated because there was some serious players (up to n°400 french), but he was astonished that the ball was going so wide when he was trying to block my brushes.
At this point, the V2C is maybe not what is the most adapted to my skills right now, but it could be what makes me improve. I have a naturally good backhand, and I did not worked that much on it compared to the FH. "Because of" the V2C, I should work on my BH to be more active and agressive than I naturally am. It could be a good thing.

There has been 3 championship days, and I'm still pleased with the V2C. I never hit BH so fast in official games. I even overcame n°994 FR in the BH area this WE (and yet losing the decisive set). Counterspin is "easy" against players of my level, harder when it comes to top 2-3% of France, I went wide trying to be too active. Since there can't be only pros from a rubber, the V2C is not very permissive if you hit flat too gently and too late; this leads to direct unforced error in the net.
All in all, I'm a better player. I manage to be more agressive than last year on the BH in official games and I delivered very nice games (except the 2nd field day where I was not supposed to play and had to take a boat and do 5h drive to play). It forces my intentions a little, and it's for the best.
