A：My forehand rubber is the V>22 Double Extra, and my backhand is the V>15 Sticky, which is slightly sticky. My racket is the Koki Niwa ZC, the third model in the Koki Niwa series. It has a very strong bounce. The forehand rubber is blue — blue is VICTAS’ brand color, and I really love blue.

A：The sponge is relatively hard, which allows me to counter-loop close to the table even against strong shots from my opponent. A softer sponge might get overpowered, and the V>22 offers relatively good grip and a stable feel during play.
𝐐：𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐕>𝟏𝟓 𝐒𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐲 𝐨𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝?
A：It’s a slightly sticky inverted rubber, which gives me a high success rate on spinny shots with my backhand. The forehand and backhand rubbers have different characteristics, and this difference makes it harder for opponents to handle.

A：This part of the racket often hits the table during play and can come off easily. The edge tape protects it.

A: I’ve been wearing VICTAS’ apparel for over ten years now. I really like both the tops and bottoms, and wearing a full set in the same color looks especially good.
