Review:
This tacky rubber features a hard sponge and a surprisingly soft top sheet. Despite its low speed at low impact, the sponge becomes powerful and lively at higher impacts. Unlike H3, this rubber offers raw power without the need for a booster.
However, it excels for Chinese-style loop forehand play. It requires good technique and strength, making it challenging for beginners to handle.
Additionally, this rubber exhibits an adverse reaction to boosters. The soft top sheet and the hard sponge are not compatible, as applying booster causes the top sheet to detach easily from the sponge.
I upgraded to TD from VJC > 07 Sticky Extra on a FireFall VC (inner carbon similar to HL5). VJC satisfied me, but I wanted to try TD because I like Chinese rubbers like H3.
Victas unofficially presents TD as the competition to H3 (hence the name, Triple), but with a modern sponge (similar to a tuned H3 without needing any booster or speed glue). It has a similar concept to H3 Neo but is likely more advanced (H3N coating wears out quickly).
Compared side-by-side to VJC: TD sponge is much harder and heavier. The top sheet is tackier with more gears. The throw is equally low. VJC suits people coming from regular rubbers (especially Japanese rubbers) entering the Chinese style. TD targets advanced players with experience in Chinese rubbers. It’s not a beginner rubber, but it’s surprisingly easy to play with. I believe an intermediate player can grow quickly with such a linear rubber. Like any Chinese rubber, it requires a good technique (long throws moving all the body) to send speedy balls.
Compared side-by-side to H3N: They’re very similar in almost all respects, except TD has a slightly lower throw. In a blind test, I wouldn’t be able to tell them apart.
Its only drawback is the price (especially compared to H3N). Update: After 30+ hours of playing with TD over a month, the rubber has shrunk (indicating some heavy factory tuning) and the top sheet looks worn out. It’s still good to play and tacky but not as tacky as during the first 30 hours (despite cleaning and protection sheet after each session). I’m removing 0.5 points for this. So in my opinion, durability isn’t great, but it’s still much better than DHS rubbers.
If you enjoy hard and tacky hybrid rubbers, this is an excellent example! My blade has an inner carbon construction with decent flex, so my review is based on that.
The Victas TDE is faster than DHS H3 Neo and slower than Yasaka Rakza Z Extra Hard. The sponge hardness of these rubbers is nearly identical, with the H3N having a thicker top sheet than the softer and more flexible TDE and RZ-EH.
The TDE generates a lower throw than the H3N and RZ EH, which I prefer for my forehand. It instills more confidence in your shot than the faster RZ-EH and keeps the ball lower to the net than the H3.
While it is slower than the RZ-EH, it compensates with the ability to play improbable wide angles near the table. In comparison to the H3N, it feels more lively and does not require boosting.
Overall, it is an excellent rubber for all-in attackers that also provides control in the short game and versatility for heavy spin to no spin serves. It’s worth a shot; you might end up sticking with it for a while.
