Victas Ventus Regular is a high-quality all-round table tennis rubber, ITTF-approved, manufactured in Japan, and created as the most controllable rubber in the Ventus series, designed for spin-oriented all-round players. Japanese materials experts have successfully combined the balanced characteristics of the Ventus series with an innovative high-control compact sponge that provides excellent control (~12.6/20) and perfect balance between speed (~11.9/20) and spin (~12.3/20). The soft (~37.5° ± 3) and highly elastic sponge with integrated "Optimized Rotation Concept" technology prolongs ball contact with the topsheet, delivering excellent spin potential and stability for all stroke techniques. The grippy topsheet further enhances spin generation, making Ventus Regular an ideal choice for modern, versatile all-round players seeking classic playing characteristics with contemporary design. This rubber perfectly suits young players, beginners, and all-round players looking to learn fundamental techniques and develop varied play at the table.

Unique Features and Playing Characteristics:

Victas Ventus Regular is the most controllable rubber in the Ventus series, created for spin-oriented all-round players seeking stability and precision. Its grippy topsheet, optimized with "Optimized Rotation Concept," ensures excellent ball grab, enabling stable topspin and loop strokes with good spin potential (~12.3/20). The soft (~37.5°) compact open-pore sponge provides a gentle feel, medium speed (~11.9/20), and extremely high control (~12.6/20), facilitating precise shots, especially for beginners and intermediate players. Due to prolonged ball contact time ensured by the sponge's elasticity, the rubber allows easy stroke control and varied spin generation, particularly on serves and short play. Ventus Regular stands out with its forgiveness on imperfect shots and ability to neutralize the opponent's spin, making it excellent for serve reception, topspin blocking, and controlled strokes. This rubber is ideal for young players learning basic techniques and all-round players seeking a stable, easy-to-handle rubber for varied play.

Top Sheet Composition:

The Ventus Regular topsheet is grippy and optimized for spin and control, ensuring prolonged ball contact and excellent grip. This surface allows for stable topspin shots, varied serves, and precise placement. The topsheet effectively counters the opponent's spin, making it suitable for precise blocking at the table and counter-spin strokes. The grippy surface also provides excellent control on passive returns, drop shots, and short pushes, enabling precise ball trajectory control.

Sponge:

The soft (~37.5°) compact open-pore sponge (available in 1.5 mm, 1.8 mm, or 2.0 mm thickness) gives the rubber a gentle catapult effect, excellent feel, and extremely high control. The 1.5 mm sponge suits young players seeking maximum control and precision when learning techniques, the 1.8 mm sponge offers balanced control and speed, while the 2.0 mm sponge enhances speed and attacking potential, making it suitable for all-round players. Compared to Victas Ventus Regular α (~37.5° sponge, ~12.4/20 speed, ~12.6/20 control, ~12.8/20 spin), Ventus Regular provides slightly lower speed (~11.9/20) and spin (~12.3/20) but similar control (~12.6/20). Against Yasaka Mark V (~12.5/20 speed, ~12.8/20 control, ~12.5/20 spin), Ventus Regular offers slightly lower speed and spin but similar control, making it a more modern choice for beginners.

Spin and Trajectory:

Ventus Regular features good spin potential (~12.3/20) for its category, especially on topspin shots, varied serves, and loop strokes. Due to the grippy topsheet and soft sponge, the rubber generates a slightly higher trajectory (7.3/10), facilitating topspin attacks, short play, and controlled strokes. The rubber effectively neutralizes the opponent's spin, making it suitable for young players learning serve reception and topspin blocking.

Control:

Ventus Regular offers extremely high control (~12.6/20), particularly on precise serves, returns, blocks, drop shots, and short pushes. Compared to Butterfly Sriver (~12.3/20 speed, ~12.7/20 control, ~12.0/20 spin), Ventus Regular provides similar speed, control, and slightly higher spin, making it a more modern choice for all-round players.

Technical Ratings:

• Speed (95/100, ~11.9/20): Medium speed suitable for topspin shots, loop drives, and controlled opening attacks. Slightly lower than Yasaka Mark V (~12.5/20 speed).

• Control (101/100, ~12.6/20): Extremely high control, especially on serves, returns, blocks, drop shots, and imperfect shots. Similar to Butterfly Sriver (~12.7/20 control).

• Spin (98/100, ~12.3/20): Good spin, particularly on topspin shots, varied serves, and loop strokes. Lower than DHS Hurricane 3 Neo (~14.0/20 spin) but with higher control.

Playing Aspects:

• Topspin Strokes: 8.7/10 – Effective topspin and loop drives with a slightly higher trajectory, suitable for controlled opening shots and all-round rallies.

• Backspin Strokes: 8.9/10 – Strong backspin shots, suitable for spin variation and short play.

• Blocking: 9.6/10 – Extremely 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: 8.8/10 – Good backspin generation, suitable for defensive play.

• Counter-Hitting: 8.7/10 – Stable counter-attacks at the table and in short play.

• Smashing: 8.6/10 – Accurate flat hits with medium speed.

• Serves & Returns: 9.4/10 – Effective in varying serves and precise returns (passive return 9.5/10, active return 9.3/10).

• Flick Shots: 8.8/10 – Effective banana flicks with good spin and control.

Blade Compatibility:

Victas Ventus Regular pairs well with control-oriented and all-round blades that complement its control, spin, and forgiveness:

• Yasaka Sweden Extra (~12.8/20 speed, ALL+): Enhances the rubber's control and forgiveness, ideal for young players.

• Donic Appelgren Allplay (~12.5/20 speed, ALL+): Improves stability, suitable for learning techniques.

• Butterfly Petr Korbel (~12.8/20 speed, ALL+): Boosts control and spin potential.

• Stiga Allround Classic (~12.0/20 speed, ALL): Suitable for players seeking maximum control and stability.

• Victas Dyna Five (~13.5/20 speed, OFF-): Suitable for all-round players looking for slightly higher speed and spin balance.

It is recommended to use Ventus Regular with 1.5 mm or 1.8 mm sponge for young players on control-oriented blades (e.g., Stiga Allround Classic) to make learning techniques easier, or with 2.0 mm sponge for all-round players on universal blades (e.g., Yasaka Sweden Extra) to utilize control and spin potential.
