Unique Characteristics & Playing Style:

Victas Ventus Limber is a versatile offensive rubber designed as the "golden middle" of the Ventus series, offering an excellent balance of speed, spin, and control. Its soft (~40°) open-pore sponge, combined with a grippy top sheet and "Optimized Rotation Concept" technology, ensures extended ball contact, enabling dangerous spin variations and maintaining high control.

The rubber excels in facilitating powerful topspin attacks from mid-distance, spin loop shots, and controlled blocking at the table. Due to its soft sponge, it is forgiving on off-center hits, making it ideal for players seeking stability and easy handling. Ventus Limber offers an excellent price-to-performance ratio, ensuring high performance and creativity in the game.

Top Sheet Composition:

The Ventus Limber top sheet, based on the "Optimized Rotation Concept" technology, features high grip, prolonging ball contact with the rubber. This allows for strong topspin shots and spin loops with a high trajectory while ensuring excellent control during serves, receives, and passive returns. The surface effectively neutralizes the opponent’s spin, making the rubber suitable for counter-spin rallies and blocking at the table.

Sponge:

The soft (~40°) open-pore sponge (available in 2.0 mm or Max thickness) provides elasticity, a light catapult effect, and excellent feedback on impact. This sponge enhances control and forgiveness, especially on imperfect topspin shots, while ensuring stability in counter-attacking strokes.

Compared to:

• Victas V > 01 Limber (~40° sponge, ~13.8/20 speed, ~11.6/20 control) – Ventus Limber offers slightly lower speed (~13.1/20) and spin (~13.1/20) but higher control (~11.9/20), making it easier to handle.

• Butterfly Rozena (~13.5/20 speed, ~11.5/20 control) – Ventus Limber provides slightly lower speed but higher control and similar spin.

Spin & Trajectory:

Ventus Limber has high spin potential (~13.1/20), especially in topspin shots and varied serves. Due to its soft sponge and grippy top sheet, it generates a high trajectory (8.3/10), facilitating topspin attacks and spin loops from mid-distance. The rubber also effectively neutralizes the opponent’s spin, making it suitable for players facing strong topspin attacks.

Control:

Ventus Limber offers extremely high control (~11.9/20), particularly in precise serves, receives, blocking at the table, and imperfect topspin shots. Compared to Yasaka Rakza 7 Soft (~13.5/20 speed, ~11.5/20 control), it provides slightly lower speed but higher control, making it ideal for players seeking stability and easy handling.

Technical Ratings:

• Speed (105/100, ~13.1/20): Sufficient speed for topspin and opening shots. Compared to Donic Baracuda (~13.7/20 speed), Ventus Limber offers slightly lower speed but higher control.

• Control (95/100, ~11.9/20): Exceptionally high control, especially in serves, receives, blocking, and imperfect topspin shots. Compared to Xiom Vega Europe (~11.5/20 control), it provides higher control.

• Spin (105/100, ~13.1/20): High spin, particularly in topspin shots and varied serves. Compared to DHS Hurricane 3 Neo (~14.0/20 spin), it offers slightly lower spin but higher control.

Playing Aspects:

• Topspin Shots: 9.1/10 – Ideal for topspin shots and spin loops with a high trajectory, forgiving on imperfect hits.

• Blocking: 9.2/10 – Highly effective in blocking topspin shots at the table, with excellent spin neutralization.

• Push Shots: 9.1/10 – Precise pushes against backspin or dead balls, with good spin variation.

• Chopping: 7.5/10 – Suitable for generating backspin but more optimized for attacking.

• Counter-Hitting: 8.8/10 – Stable counter-attacks at the table and mid-distance.

• Smashing: 8.6/10 – Powerful flat shots with good accuracy.

• Serves & Receives: 9.3/10 – Highly effective in varied serves and precise receives (passive receive: 9.3/10, active receive: 9.4/10).

• Flick Shots: 9.0/10 – Effective banana flicks with excellent spin and control.

Blade Compatibility:

Victas Ventus Limber pairs well with all-round and lightweight offensive blades that complement its control, spin, and forgiveness:

• Victas Dyna Five (~13.5/20 speed, OFF-) – Enhances control and topspin potential, ideal for versatile attackers.

• Butterfly Korbel (~13.0/20 speed, OFF-) – Balances speed and control, suitable for all-round players.

• Donic Appelgren Allplay (~12.5/20 speed, ALL+) – Enhances control and forgiveness, ideal for players seeking stability.

• Yasaka Sweden Extra (~12.8/20 speed, ALL+) – Great for players prioritizing control and topspin potential.

• Nittaku Acoustic (~13.0/20 speed, OFF-) – Boosts catapult effect and spin, suitable for mid-distance rallies.

It is recommended to use Ventus Limber with a 2.0 mm sponge on either forehand or backhand, paired with all-round blades (e.g., Yasaka Sweden Extra) or lighter offensive blades (e.g., Donic Appelgren Allplay) to maintain racket balance and maximize speed, spin, and control.
