Victas Ventus Extra

Overview

The Victas Ventus Extra, formerly known as the TSP Super Ventus, is a non-tacky, grippy inverted rubber designed for offensive play. Featuring a medium-hard 47.5° sponge and a firm, dense topsheet, it offers a balanced, linear response that appeals to players who prefer stability over an aggressive catapult effect.

Performance Characteristics

• Speed and Spin: This rubber provides significant speed and high spin potential, particularly when executing full-power strokes. It is highly effective for counter-looping and opening against underspin, offering a secure feel.
• Control and Dwell: The rubber is praised for its consistency and ease of use in the short game and blocking. Because it is not overly sensitive to incoming spin, it offers a predictable and reliable touch. The linear performance allows for precise shot placement, though it requires a more assertive stroke to compress the firm topsheet and engage the sponge.
• Throw Angle and Dynamics: It exhibits a medium to medium-low throw angle, resulting in a flatter, penetrating trajectory. The rubber lacks the “slingshot” effect found in some highly tensioned rubbers, making it more predictable during aggressive rallies.
• Durability and Compatibility: Known for excellent durability, the rubber maintains its grip over a long period. It is versatile enough to be used on both the forehand and backhand, and it performs well across a variety of blade types, including all-wood and composite constructions.
