Great Value Rubber for Backhand
This rubber offers excellent value for money. I use it on my backhand and am highly satisfied with its performance. While it’s not particularly fast, it’s ideal for developing your backhand technique and excels at blocking and backhand topspin.
Exceptional Durability
Update: The durability of this rubber is remarkable. After approximately a year of extensive outdoor play, it has only recently begun to show signs of wear. This is an exceptional lifespan compared to other rubbers I have used, demonstrating its impressive quality.
Venus 3 Table Tennis Rubber
Priced at $14 per sheet, the Venus 3 showcases an impressive top sheet. When freshly glued to a compatible blade, it delivers a satisfying performance. Despite not being a tensor or boosted rubber, the Venus 3 offers excellent value for its price range.
Since I’ve only had one sheet, I cannot comment on its durability or consistency. However, based on my initial experience, the Venus 3 appears to be a quality rubber at an exceptional price point.
Venus 3 Table Tennis Rubber Review
As marketed by Yinhe, I tested this rubber on the backhand (BH) side of my Joola Flame Extreme (an off blade). For reference, I previously used AK47 Blue rubber, so my comparisons will be based on the Venus 3 (medium-soft sponge) and AK47 Blue (soft sponge).
The Venus 3 is a tacky rubber, making it suitable for both forehand (FH) and BH play. While the speed is slightly lower on the BH due to the stroke motion, the springy sponge aids in returning the ball to the table. This rubber excels in chopping, active blocking, and countering topspin. It is also decent in serving, lifting backspin, opening topspin, and flat hitting. However, it is not as forgiving as the AK47 Blue, particularly in passive blocking, but still gets the job done. The Venus 3 is best suited for close to mid-table gameplay.
Based on my experience, I would not recommend this rubber for BH attackers unless they have proper technique. I gave this rubber to a friend who primarily chops with his backhand, and it suits him well. For those with a limited budget, the AK47 Blue is a more versatile option that can handle a wider range of shots effectively.
