Victas V > 15 Extra
This new rubber from Victas was released in late 2015 (hence the number “15” in the name), and was designed for a high spin loop / counterloop game for advanced players.
The extremely high grip is not only great for spin, but it was specifically designed for the plastic balls, where extra grip and zero-slippage is more important than ever.
The Victas V>15 Extra rubber has become a huge success first in Japan, then became a #1 seller in Korea where is was found to be the best alternative for Tenergy for the plastic ball. The Victas V>15 Limber was more successful in Singapore, where a softer sponge was preferred, very much like the Tenergy FX series. Although these rubbers share the spin potential and catapult of the Tenergy series, they are considerably more forgiving and easier to play with.

V > 15 Extra is a high-end offensive rubber which will enable you to perform on a new level in topspin rallies. Feel the ultimate power and high-efficiency energy conversion of the innovative 47.5° offensive sponge and experience the unlimited potential of the spin-optimized top rubber sheet!

A run down on my thoughts re: Victas V>15 Extra;
Excellent! I am very picky with the rubbers and have been using Tenergy 80 for the last 3 years after trying numerous other rubbers during the off- season I have found Victas V>15 Extra to be the equal to Tenergy insofar as control, hardness, speed and overall general proprieties. It is suited to my game which is close to the table counter loop, punching and mid table attack.
I found the rubber very response to power generation (when required) and easily controllable when someone attacks with heavy spin. The 'feeling' is excellent on the return of serve and 3rd ball attack as well as when 'heavy spin' is required off of third ball attack. I will be using this rubber moving forward. Mar 2016

To win the actual game I chose this equipment without considering only spin or speed. When I used this equipment in the game I realized I could play the game without feeling uncomfortable. Compared to before I felt my performance had improved. What I like most about this equipment was is it resulted in an increase in rotational speed on the ball. I was also satisfied with the counter drive. Blade: Victas Quartet AFC; Rubbers: Victas V>15 Extra. Jan 2016
