Victas TRIPLE Extra distinguishes itself with its ultra-tacky Chinese-style surface, compact 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, similar to Victas
TRIPLE Double Extra, provides exceptional grip allowing generation of
maximum spin on loop drives, topspin shots, serves and short touches.
The surface effectively "grabs" the ball, especially plastic balls,
making it easier to lift backspin balls and ensuring sharp, spin-loaded
trajectories. Compared to Victas TRIPLE Double Extra (~47.5° sponge,
~13.5/20 speed, ~14.8/20 spin), TRIPLE Extra offers higher speed
(~14.5/20 vs ~13.5/20), slightly less spin (~14.0/20 vs ~14.8/20) and
slightly less control (~11.4/20 vs ~11.9/20) due to the softer sponge.
Sponge
The
medium-hard (~45°) compact black sponge provides dynamic energy
transfer ensuring high speed and powerful feel suitable for strong loop
drives and topspin shots. The sponge is softer than TRIPLE Double Extra
(~47.5°), offering higher speed (~14.5/20 vs ~13.5/20) but slightly less
spin (~14.0/20 vs ~14.8/20) and control (~11.4/20 vs ~11.9/20).
Compared to DHS Hurricane 3 Neo (~50° sponge, ~15.5/20 spin), TRIPLE
Extra provides less spin but higher speed (~14.5/20 vs ~12.5/20) and
easier handling.
Ultra-Tacky Technology
The
ultra-tacky Chinese-style surface combined with compact 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
Extra offers similar spin (~14.0/20 vs ~15.0/20), higher speed (~14.5/20
vs ~11.8/20) and slightly less control (~11.4/20 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 Extra provides higher spin (~14.0/20 vs ~13.0/20)
and higher speed (~14.5/20 vs ~13.3/20).
Control
Thanks
to the ultra-tacky surface and medium-hard sponge, the rubber provides
good 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 Extra offers better
control (~11.4/20) but is less forgiving for beginners.
Technical Specifications & Playing Characteristics:
Parameter | Rating | Description |
---|---|---|
Speed | 116/100 (~14.5/20) | Extremely fast rubber suitable for powerful topspin shots, loop drives, counters and flat hits at table or from mid-distance. Compact sponge ensures explosive speed allowing domination in rallies. Compared to Victas TRIPLE Double Extra (~13.5/20 speed), TRIPLE Extra is faster (~14.5/20) and more powerful. Compared to Nittaku Fastarc G-1 (~13.9/20 speed), speed is higher while spin remains competitive. |
Control | 91/100 (~11.4/20) | Ultra-tacky surface and medium-hard sponge provide good control especially when serving, short-game play and counter-loop attacks. Compared to Yasaka Rakza 7 Soft (~8.4/20 control), TRIPLE Extra offers better control (~11.4/20). Compared to Butterfly Tenergy 05 (~12.0/20 control), control is slightly lower but speed and spin are higher. |
Spin | 112/100 (~14.0/20) | Ultra-tacky Chinese-style surface generates extremely strong spin especially on loop drives, topspin shots and serves with sharp trajectory. Compared to XIOM Vega X (~12.5/20 spin), TRIPLE Extra provides higher spin (~14.0/20). Compared to DHS Hurricane 3 Neo (~15.5/20 spin), spin is slightly lower but speed is higher and handling easier. |
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 Extra has slightly lower trajectory but higher speed and spin. 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 | 9.6/10 | Extremely effective in executing topspin and loop shots especially on forehand due to ultra-tacky surface's spin potential and compact sponge power. Suitable for opening attacks against backspin balls and powerful rallies. |
Blocking | 9.1/10 | Effective in blocking topspin shots at table especially due to medium-hard sponge's stability though requires technique to maintain control. |
Pressure Push | 9.3/10 | Allows precise pushes against backspin or dead balls particularly due to ultra-tacky surface's spin potential. |
Counter-Hitting | 9.4/10 | Effective for fast counterattacks at table and from mid-distance especially due to compact sponge's explosive speed. |
Attacking Shots (Smashing) | 9.3/10 | Effective in flat hits generating fast and precise trajectories with great power. |
Serves & Receives | 9.5/10 | Enables extremely precise serve control (9.5/10) and is effective in passive (9.5/10) and active (9.4/10) receives due to strong spin and control. |
Flick Shots | 9.4/10 | Banana flicks are easily executed due to ultra-tacky surface and medium-hard sponge ensuring accuracy and spin. |
Blade Compatibility:
Victas TRIPLE 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 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 medium-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.
