its odd but this brand has more pips out rubbers than smooth rubbers in the ITTF list, strange but its in the tsp web page,made in germany check the black sponge, could be a xiom sponge derivative

hope that any japanese expert can read this and post

Thanks for the post! It is always interesting to see what is out there!

Could this be a division of TSP? (Like Chevrolet is a division of General Motors?)

Yes Victas is part of TSP.

victas is tsp's premium brand controlled by Koji Matsushita...

i want to know more about the pips, made in germany

most popular japanese pips right now are the mizuno short pips....a university team came from japan to train where i am, and 2 of them were using these...one on a 1ply jpen and one on a butterlfy zhang yining penhold...they say that almost every high level pip player in japan uses these

wow you are an amazing source of valuable info, do you remember if it was booster EV or Booster SA, Were they spinny?? how about the corking?? does it make the same sound of rubber with old speed glue?

found this if anyone is interested

Looks to me like they are only interested in marketing this product in Japan...no other language or translator....checked Robbins for Americans....nothing-then again Robbins does not even seem to have Curl PR 4...

Hmm with the prices of table tennis equipment, manufacturers are earning really big..

I have tested Victas 101 short pimple rubber. Excellent quality ,fast attacking rubber with good control even in max thickness.Spin is excessive for short pimple in topspin and backspin push.Backhand blocking and punch is very effective and easy to use. Speed over table on a fast blade, seems faster than 05 inverted and causes your playing partner to hurry their shot. Cannot find a fault in this rubber.

Barry, what other short pips have you tried? Can you compare the Victas 101 to any of them?

Hi, Over the years I have tried most short pimples, Victas seem to have that something extra for attacking players. If you could get Donic Baxter LB ( Also made in Germany ) that was quicker,more spin and more difficult to play against that would be it. The only thing I would say is you need good short pimple technic to have the best out of this rubber. The manufactures have worked hard to get this rubber good for pro players.

but baxter LB is long pips and what about blocking spinny balls with 101??
