Victas TRIPLE Double Extra distinguishes itself with its ultra-tacky Chinese-style surface, harder sponge and balanced trajectory, suitable for high-level attacking players who rely on spin and power:
Top Sheet Composition
The
ultra-tacky Chinese-style natural rubber surface provides exceptional
grip allowing generation of maximum spin on loop drives, topspin shots,
serves and short touches. The surface excellently "grabs" the ball,
especially plastic balls, making it easier to lift backspin balls and
ensuring sharp, spin-loaded trajectories. Compared to Victas TRIPLE
Extra (~45° sponge, ~13.0/20 speed, ~14.0/20 spin), TRIPLE Double Extra
offers higher speed (~13.5/20 vs ~13.0/20), higher spin (~14.8/20 vs
~14.0/20) and slightly less control (~11.9/20 vs ~12.5/20) due to the
harder sponge.
Sponge
The
harder (~47.5°) tensioned sponge compared to TRIPLE Extra provides
explosive energy transfer ensuring high speed and powerful feel suitable
for strong loop drives and topspin shots. The sponge is harder than
Yasaka Rakza 7 (~45°, ~10.9/20 speed), offering higher speed (~13.5/20
vs ~10.9/20), higher spin (~14.8/20 vs ~11.0/20) and better control
(~11.9/20 vs ~7.9/20). Compared to DHS Hurricane 3 Neo (~50° sponge,
~15.5/20 spin), TRIPLE Double Extra provides slightly less spin but
easier handling and higher speed (~13.5/20 vs ~12.5/20).
Ultra-Tacky Technology
The
ultra-tacky Chinese-style surface combined with hard tensioned sponge
works synergistically to deliver maximum spin and power while
maintaining the characteristic feel of Chinese rubbers. The medium-arc
trajectory (9.0/10) facilitates net clearance, increasing shot success
rate. Compared to Butterfly Tenergy 05 (~36° sponge, ~15.0/20 spin),
TRIPLE Double Extra offers similar spin (~14.8/20 vs ~15.0/20), higher
speed (~13.5/20 vs ~11.8/20) and similar control (~11.9/20 vs ~12.0/20).
Spin and Trajectory
The
ultra-tacky surface ensures medium-arc trajectory (9.0/10),
facilitating powerful loop drives, topspin shots and opening attacks
against backspin balls. The rubber is extremely effective in handling
incoming spin, making it suitable for counter-loop attacks and serve
variations. Compared to Victas VJ>07 Stiff (9.0/10 trajectory,
~13.0/20 spin), TRIPLE Double Extra provides higher spin (~14.8/20 vs
~13.0/20) and similar trajectory but requires more technique due to the
harder sponge.
Control
Thanks
to the ultra-tacky surface and hard sponge, the rubber provides
excellent control especially when serving, short-game play and
counter-loop attacks, though requires technique to fully utilize its
spin potential. Compared to Yasaka Rakza X (~8.8/20 control), TRIPLE
Double Extra offers better control (~11.9/20) but is less forgiving for
beginners.
Technical Specifications & Playing Characteristics:
Parameter | Rating | Description |
---|---|---|
Speed | 108/100 (~13.5/20) | Extremely fast rubber suitable for powerful topspin shots, loop drives, counters and flat hits at table or from mid-distance. Harder sponge ensures explosive speed allowing domination in rallies. Compared to Victas VJ>07 Stiff (~13.3/20 speed), TRIPLE Double Extra is slightly faster (~13.5/20) and more powerful. Compared to Nittaku Fastarc G-1 (~13.9/20 speed), speed is similar but spin is higher. |
Control | 95/100 (~11.9/20) | Ultra-tacky surface and hard sponge provide excellent control especially when serving, short-game play and counter-loop attacks. Compared to Yasaka Rakza 7 Soft (~8.4/20 control), TRIPLE Double Extra offers better control (~11.9/20) but requires more technique. Compared to Butterfly Tenergy 05 (~12.0/20 control), control is similar but TRIPLE Double Extra offers higher spin. |
Spin | 118/100 (~14.8/20) | Ultra-tacky Chinese-style surface generates exceptional spin especially on loop drives, topspin shots and serves with sharp trajectory. Compared to XIOM Vega X (~12.5/20 spin), TRIPLE Double Extra provides significantly higher spin (~14.8/20). Compared to DHS Hurricane 3 Neo (~15.5/20 spin), spin is slightly lower but handling is easier and speed is higher. |
Trajectory | 9.0/10 | Medium-arc trajectory facilitating powerful loop drives, topspin shots and opening attacks. Compared to Yasaka Rakza Z (9.5/10 trajectory), TRIPLE Double Extra has slightly lower trajectory but higher spin and speed. When blocking, trajectory is stable, suitable for active blocks. |
Sponge Thickness | 2.0mm, Max | 2.0mm suits players seeking balanced speed and control while max thickness enhances power effect, ideal for powerful loop drives. |
Playing Aspects:
Aspect | Rating | Description |
---|---|---|
Topspin Shots | 9.7/10 | Extremely effective in executing topspin and loop shots especially on forehand due to ultra-tacky surface's spin potential and hard sponge power. Suitable for opening attacks against backspin balls and powerful rallies. |
Blocking | 9.2/10 | Effective in blocking topspin shots at table especially due to hard sponge's stability though requires technique to maintain control. |
Pressure Push | 9.4/10 | Allows precise pushes against backspin or dead balls particularly due to ultra-tacky surface's spin potential. |
Counter-Hitting | 9.5/10 | Extremely effective for fast counterattacks at table and from mid-distance especially due to hard sponge's explosive speed. |
Attacking Shots (Smashing) | 9.3/10 | Effective in flat hits generating fast and precise trajectories with great power. |
Serves & Receives | 9.6/10 | Enables extremely precise serve control (9.6/10) and is effective in passive (9.6/10) and active (9.5/10) receives due to strong spin and control. |
Flick Shots | 9.5/10 | Banana flicks are easily executed due to ultra-tacky surface and hard sponge ensuring accuracy and spin. |
Blade Compatibility:
Victas TRIPLE Double Extra pairs excellently with fast and stiff blades that complement its spin, power feel and control:
Blade | Speed Rating | Description |
---|---|---|
Butterfly Zhang Jike ALC | ~12.8/20 (OFF+) | Enhances rubber's speed and spin, ideal for forehand by aggressive players. |
DHS Q968 Hurricane King National | ~12.9/20 (OFF+) | Complements rubber's explosive power and spin, suitable for forehand. |
Nittaku Eto 2025 Snake | ~13.0/20 (OFF+) | Provides excellent speed and spin balance, suitable for forehand. |
Donic Skachkov Carbospeed | ~13.1/20 (OFF+) | Complements rubber's speed, suitable for intense topspin shots. |
Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive | ~11.5/20 (OFF) | Suitable for players seeking slightly softer blade for spin and control. |
It is recommended to use TRIPLE Double Extra 2.0mm on forehand with faster blades (e.g. Butterfly Zhang Jike ALC) or max thickness with all-round blades (e.g. Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive) to maintain racket balance and maximize spin and power potential. Due to the hard sponge and ultra-tacky surface, the rubber is more suitable for forehand, though experienced players may use it on backhand when paired with softer rubber on the other side.
