Distinctive Features and Playing Characteristics:

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 the grippy top sheet and "Optimized Rotation Concept" technology, ensures extended ball contact, enabling dangerous spin variations while maintaining high control. The rubber excels in facilitating powerful topspin attacks from mid-distance, spin loops, and controlled blocking close to the table. Thanks to its soft sponge, the rubber is forgiving on off-center hits, making it suitable for players seeking stability and easy handling. Ventus Limber provides outstanding value for money, delivering high performance and creativity in gameplay.

Top Sheet Composition:

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

Sponge:

The soft (~40°) open-pore sponge (available in 2.0 mm or Max thickness) gives the rubber elasticity, a light catapult effect, and an excellent hitting feel. This sponge enhances control and forgiveness, particularly on off-center topspin shots, while ensuring stability in counter-attacks. Compared to the 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. Against the Butterfly Rozena (~13.5/20 speed, ~11.5/20 control), Ventus Limber provides slightly lower speed but better control and similar spin.

Spin and Trajectory:

Ventus Limber boasts high spin potential (~13.1/20), especially in topspin shots and spin-varied serves. Due to its soft sponge and grippy top sheet, the rubber 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 shots.

Control:

Ventus Limber offers exceptionally high control (~11.9/20), particularly in precise serves, receptions, blocking close to the table, and off-center topspin shots. Compared to the Yasaka Rakza 7 Soft (~13.5/20 speed, ~11.5/20 control), Ventus Limber 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): Adequate speed for topspin shots and opening attacks. Against the Donic Baracuda (~13.7/20 speed), Ventus Limber offers slightly lower speed but higher control.

• Control (95/100, ~11.9/20): Extremely high control, especially in serves, receptions, blocks, and off-center topspin shots. Compared to the Xiom Vega Europe (~11.5/20 control), Ventus Limber provides better control.

• Spin (105/100, ~13.1/20): High spin, particularly in topspin shots and spin-varied serves. Against the DHS Hurricane 3 Neo (~14.0/20 spin), Ventus Limber offers slightly less spin but higher control.

Gameplay Aspects:

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