Anyone out there play with either of these new short pips from Victas? One person said the 102 was a strange rubber. Does that mean they were disturbing to their opponents? Hope someone can provide a brief review.

I hit briefly with both rubbers (Max sponge for both).
VO-101: Very similar to Spectol 21 (topsheet and sponge). Sponge: Soft, springy and very fast sponge (faster than Spectol 21). Topsheet: similar pips to Spectol (slightly longer) and more flexible. Top of pips is grippier than Spectol. VO-102: Topsheet is very similar to Stiga Clippa (same grip, less than 802-40). Sponge feels harder and slower (vs VO101). Easier to control for me as I play modern defense with SP on BH. Quality wise is on par with TSP Spectol. |

Sponge hardness on both these sheets is supposed to be 37.5deg, which is fairly soft.

I have both rubbers uncut in front of me right now.
VO-101 sponge is lighter and softer than VO-102. |

VO-102 is a more grippy SP (like Clippa, 802, 802-40, etc..). VO-101 is a traditional SP with thinner pips (cylindrical shaped... I thought they were Medium pips at first) much less sensitive to spin so easier to block spinny loops and occasional knuckle ball returns. Keep in mind that I chop with SP and don't attack at the table but I found the sponge of VO-101 extremely bouncy and fast. Both are really high quality rubbers.

You might be right, but I got my information from the victas website
here, which lists both of them as 37.5deg - might be a mistake. I have a 102, but don't have a 101 to compare.

101 has lower throw than 102. I think 102 is faster than 101, but both are pretty fast. I can loop easily with 102 then smash when I have the chance. They are both good rubbers.

I want to know if 102 is another pip that plays like smooth that barely disturb the opponent, is 101 hard to handle in terms of opening loops?
