Victas TRIPLE Regular stands out with its balanced Chinese-style topsheet, open-pore sponge, and easy handling, making it ideal for all-around players seeking control and spin:

• Top Sheet Composition: Ultra-tacky Chinese-style natural rubber topsheet, less tacky than Victas TRIPLE Extra or TRIPLE Double Extra, ensures strong grip for generating high spin on loops, topspins, serves, and chops. The topsheet is easier to control, making it ideal for players transitioning to Chinese-style rubbers. Compared to Victas TRIPLE Extra (~45° sponge, ~14.5/20 speed, ~14.0/20 spin), TRIPLE Regular offers slightly lower speed (~12.1/20 vs. ~14.5/20), higher spin (~14.5/20 vs. ~14.0/20), and better control (~12.5/20 vs. ~11.4/20).

• Sponge: Medium-hard (~42.5°) open-pore elastic sponge provides balanced energy transfer, ensuring sufficient speed and elasticity for controlled shots. The sponge is softer than TRIPLE Double Extra (~47.5°), offering lower speed (~12.1/20 vs. ~13.5/20) but higher control (~12.5/20 vs. ~11.9/20). Compared to DHS Hurricane 3 Neo (~50° sponge, ~15.5/20 spin), TRIPLE Regular provides slightly less spin but higher speed (~12.1/20 vs. ~12.5/20) and easier handling.

• Ultra-Tacky Technology: The highly tacky Chinese-style topsheet and open-pore sponge work synergistically to deliver strong spin and control while retaining the classic Chinese rubber feel. The medium-arc trajectory (9.0/10) facilitates net clearance, increasing shot success. Compared to Yasaka Rakza 7 (~45° sponge, ~10.9/20 speed), TRIPLE Regular offers higher speed (~12.1/20 vs. ~10.9/20), higher spin (~14.5/20 vs. ~11.0/20), and better control (~12.5/20 vs. ~7.9/20).

• Spin and Trajectory: The ultra-tacky topsheet ensures a medium-arc trajectory (9.0/10), aiding controlled topspins, loops, chops, and opening shots against backspin. The rubber excels in handling incoming spin, making it suitable for passive returns, blocks, and chops. Compared to Victas VJ>07 Stiff (9.0/10 trajectory, ~13.0/20 spin), TRIPLE Regular provides higher spin (~14.5/20 vs. ~13.0/20) and similar control (~12.5/20 vs. ~12.4/20).

• Control: Due to its lower tackiness and medium-hard sponge, the rubber offers exceptional control, especially in short play, serves, chops, and blocks. Compared to Victas TRIPLE Double Extra (~11.9/20 control), TRIPLE Regular provides better control (~12.5/20), making it easier to handle.

Technical Ratings and Playing Characteristics:

• Speed (97/100, ~12.1/20): Victas TRIPLE Regular is a fast rubber for all-around play, suitable for controlled topspins, loops, blocks, and chops close to the table or at mid-distance. The open-pore sponge ensures balanced speed while maintaining control. Compared to Victas TRIPLE Extra (~14.5/20 speed), TRIPLE Regular is slower (~12.1/20) but more controllable. Compared to Yasaka Rakza 7 Soft (~10.5/20 speed), it offers higher speed while maintaining competitive control.

• Control (100/100, ~12.5/20): The ultra-tacky topsheet and medium-hard sponge provide exceptional control, especially in short play, serves, passive returns, chops, and blocks. Compared to Butterfly Tenergy 05 (~12.0/20 control), TRIPLE Regular offers better control (~12.5/20), making it more versatile. Compared to XIOM Vega Europe (~7.5/20 control), its control is significantly higher.

• Spin (116/100, ~14.5/20): The ultra-tacky Chinese-style topsheet generates strong spin, especially on loops, topspins, serves, and chops, with a sharp trajectory. Compared to Victas VJ>07 Stiff (~13.0/20 spin), TRIPLE Regular provides higher spin (~14.5/20). Compared to DHS Hurricane 3 Neo (~15.5/20 spin), spin is slightly lower but handling is easier.

• Trajectory (9.0/10): Medium-arc trajectory facilitates controlled topspins, loops, and chops. Compared to Yasaka Rakza 7 Soft (9.5/10 trajectory), TRIPLE Regular has a slightly lower arc but better control. Blocks and chops exhibit stable trajectories, suitable for passive and active shots.

• Sponge Thickness: 2.0 mm suits players seeking balanced speed and control, while max thickness enhances power for topspin shots.

Playing Aspects:

• Topspin Shots: 9.4/10 – Highly effective for topspins and loops, especially on forehand and backhand, due to the ultra-tacky topsheet’s spin potential and elastic sponge dynamics. Ideal for opening shots and controlled rallies.

• Blocking: 9.5/10 – Extremely effective for blocking topspins close to the table, thanks to the medium-hard sponge’s stability and tacky topsheet precision.

• Push Shots: 9.4/10 – Enables precise pushes against backspin or dead balls, leveraging the tacky topsheet’s spin potential.

• Chopping: 9.5/10 – Effective for chops due to the ultra-tacky topsheet’s spin generation and high control.

• Counter-Hitting: 9.3/10 – Effective for quick counter-attacks close to the table, aided by the open-pore sponge’s elasticity.

• Smashing: 9.2/10 – Effective for flat hits, producing fast and precise trajectories with sufficient power.

• Serves & Receives: 9.5/10 – Allows precise serve control (9.5/10) and excels in passive (9.5/10) and active receives (9.4/10) due to strong spin and control.

• Flick Shots: 9.3/10 – Banana flicks are easy to execute due to the tacky topsheet and medium-hard sponge, ensuring accuracy and spin.

Blade Compatibility:

Victas TRIPLE Regular pairs well with all-around and fast blades that complement its control, spin, and elasticity:

• Nittaku Engent (~11.3/20 speed, ALL+): Enhances control and spin, ideal for backhand on all-around blades.

• Donic Appelgren Allplay (~10.5/20 speed, ALL): Provides excellent control-spin balance, suitable for forehand or backhand.

• Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive (~11.5/20 speed, OFF): Boosts spin and control, ideal for forehand on all-around blades.

• Butterfly Primorac (~10.8/20 speed, ALL+): Enhances control, suitable for beginners and all-around players.

• DHS Q968 Hurricane King National (~12.9/20 speed, OFF+): For aggressive players seeking speed and spin on the forehand.

Recommended to use TRIPLE Regular 2.0 mm on the backhand with all-around blades (e.g., Nittaku Engent) or max thickness on the forehand with faster blades (e.g., Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive) to maintain racket balance and maximize control and spin potential. Due to its high control and lower tackiness, it suits players transitioning to Chinese-style rubbers.
