Victas V>15 Extra ?

[NetProphet]

This is a rubber I have no first hand experience with, I've only encountered Victas rubbers ONCE on an opponents racket, but it's a rubber that interests me as a possible alternative to the Glayzer 09c I currently use on FH.

I've decided I prefer a faster rubber on FH and D05 along with T19 is in the mix, despite its difficulties in the short game (difficulty for me at least as I struggle to control it in that regard).

But can anyone give first hand advice on this rubber and how it compares with say Fastarc G1 or T19? Or even comparing it with D05?

eh, they say it’s a tenergy 05 alternative but that cannot be further from the truth. Maybe similar to the t64 (which ive never tried) heres why:
throw angle is simply just low and the lifespan is ass compared to any tenergy because it’s factory boosted and the top sheet also wears out quite fast. I reckon it’s more similar to Tibhar mxp.
i only played with the blue version and that was 2 years ago. They say the red and black ones are slightly different but I wouldn’t think so. My mate played with a v15 extra red for half a season and he didn’t like it, he went back to tenergy for the second half.

I've played with G1 and V>15. Here it's very cheap, often can be found as the same price as a Hurricane3 provincial. And for that price it's very good. But it's different from the Fastarc in feeling. It's good on the BH (Victas players used it (Duda, Koki Niwa, Kenji Matsudaira, Liam Pitchford etc, Kai Zhang from the USA choose it without sponsorship I think). But the lifespan is medium, bad compared to tenergy and dignics and overall it's just an okay rubber.
Since then new rubbers came out from Victas which are way better.
V>22 is the upgraded version of the V>15, harder, more spin, more speed, very good durability. But it's very fast.
V>20 is amazing, linear, easy to play like the G1, very spinny, very controlled, and can be fast too. But the durability is abysmal, frankly, the worst I've ever seen.
V>15 Sticky is the new hybrid and the choice of the Victas pro players. It's only similar in name to the V>15 Extra 🫠, but I've newer played it, so can't comment on that. I've heard it's very good and the durability is medium, not good.

I have played with V>15 Extra max. thickness on Koto Outer ALC blades. I have used in total 4 sheets of this rubber. I found it to be pretty good in spin and speed generation. The rubber performs in linear manner and is quite controllable if you have USATT 1500 or higher rating. Serves are good and it is easy to put ball short on the table.
Durability is one other factor where this rubber is above average in my books. It is lasted me for approximately 4 months while playing 6-7 hours a week.
