Victas Spectol S3

For me, S2 and S3 are similar; both are two jewels of Victas. S3 shines in blocking and hitting. Pseudo top spins are possible, but this rubber generates low spin. S3 is not sensitive to incoming spin and is perfect for returning serves. Low-medium throw. Not much deception observed. Your opponent will play easily against this rubber. Perfect for active players who play aggressively, blocking and power play. Great durability.

I am happy with choosing this rubber, 1.6 mm. I have blade Donic defplay senso V3. I used S3 rubber on my backhand to play defensive, and cut the balls, both close to the table and long from table. S3 is also good for blocking and you can hit backhand topspin, but not with a lot of spin. S3 rubber delivers good underspin, but a bit too fast compared to S1, 1.3 mm. The feeling is amazing.

Similar in performance to TSP Spectol Blue; however, the topsheet seems to be a different formula, which is less grippy. This only seems to be detrimental when pushing.

It is a shame that it does not come in a 1.8mm thickness; the 2mm seems a bit thick, but it is far too much of a jump to 1.6mm.
