Quartet VFC

Victas Quartet VFC is rated as an OFF+ blade, indicating very high speed potential. The inclusion of hard V-Carbon significantly contributes to its fast nature, enabling devastating smashes and powerful drives. While it doesn't feel overly bouncy on serves and short touches, it unleashes tremendous speed when you commit to full-power strokes, making it a potent weapon for aggressive attackers.

For an OFF+ blade, Quartet VFC offers commendable control. The Fleece-Carbon layer provides good feel and spin potential, enhancing control during offensive rallies. Many players find it surprisingly easy to handle in passive situations and for delicate shots like serves and short pushes, attributing this to its unique composite construction and balanced thickness.

Quartet VFC offers a unique feel that is hard yet possesses noticeable flex. This combination provides a direct impact sensation, with some players noting a crisp 'batting' feedback. The V-Carbon contributes stiffness and power, while the Fleece-Carbon adds elasticity, creating a distinct playing experience appreciated for its directness and clear feedback.

The throw angle is generally medium-high, which benefits offensive players by enabling steep attacking shots and effective clears over the net. The combination of speed and spin potential creates a challenging trajectory for opponents.

The blade provides a medium-to-long dwell time, particularly evident during topspin strokes. While not as long as all-wood blades, the combination of wood plies and the Fleece-Carbon layer allows the ball to sink into the racket sufficiently, facilitating effective spin generation crucial for heavy topspin and looping.

The blade exhibits medium flexibility. Although it contains stiff V-Carbon layers, the Fleece-Carbon and specific wood plies allow for a degree of flex during the stroke. This moderate flexibility helps the blade grip the ball for spin while still maintaining the solidity needed for powerful direct shots.

Quartet VFC delivers a medium-to-high level of vibration. The presence of multiple carbon layers, especially the stiff V-Carbon, contributes to a crisp, powerful feel that translates into noticeable feedback. This characteristic provides useful information on shot execution and ball contact, which many aggressive players value.

Victas Quartet VFC is widely regarded as a high-quality blade. The construction is precise, with a smooth playing surface and well-finished edges. The integration of advanced materials through Victas' DSE technology points to sophisticated manufacturing, resulting in a durable, well-crafted piece of equipment that feels premium in hand.
