The rubber stands out with its high-arc trajectory, durability and excellent value for money, making it suitable for both forehand and backhand play. Victas VJC>07 Sticky Extra is all about spin, control and modern attacking!

Key Features:

Victas VJC>07 Sticky Extra distinguishes itself with its innovative Chinese sticky topsheet, optimized pip geometry and harder Japanese sponge, suitable for players seeking balanced attacking play with high spin potential and excellent control in passive situations.

Top Sheet Composition
The slightly sticky Chinese topsheet ensures excellent grip allowing generation of strong spin on loop drives, topspin shots, serves and short touches. The optimized pip geometry enhances ball grip, especially with new generation plastic balls, ensuring strong spin and precise ball placement. Compared to Yasaka Rakza 7 (~45° sponge, ~11.0/20 spin), VJC>07 Sticky Extra offers more spin (~13.6/20) and better control (~12.5/20 vs ~7.9/20), making it suitable for more aggressive attacking play. Compared to DHS Hurricane 3 Neo (~15.5/20 spin), VJC>07 Sticky Extra provides slightly less spin but more stable trajectory and easier handling.

Sponge
The harder Japanese sponge (47.5°) ensures balanced combination of speed and control, providing dynamic yet controllable feel suitable for powerful loop drives and flat hits. The sponge is harder than standard sponges, offering high speed (98/100, ~12.3/20) and maximum control (100/100, ~12.5/20). Compared to Yasaka Mark V HPS Soft (~37.5° sponge, ~10.9/20 speed), VJC>07 Sticky Extra offers higher speed and spin while maintaining high control. Compared to Butterfly Tenergy 05 (~36° sponge, ~15.0/20 spin), VJC>07 Sticky Extra provides slightly less spin but better control (~12.5/20 vs ~12.0/20) and easier handling for modern attacking players.

Technologies
The harder Japanese sponge structure (47.5°) enhances rubber's dynamics, providing more speed and spin without extra weight. The medium-arc trajectory (9.5/10) facilitates net clearance, increasing shot success rate, while the sponge provides controlled power feel. Compared to Victas VJ>07 Stiff (~42.5° sponge, ~13.3/20 speed), VJC>07 Sticky Extra offers slightly lower speed (~12.3/20) but higher spin (~13.6/20 vs ~13.0/20) and control (~12.5/20 vs ~12.4/20), making it suitable for players emphasizing spin and control.

Spin and Trajectory
The sticky Chinese topsheet and optimized pip geometry ensure extremely high spin potential (109/100, ~13.6/20), facilitating loop drives, topspin shots and opening attacks against semi-long balls. The rubber is effective in handling incoming spin, making it suitable for passive returns and blocks. The high trajectory (9.5/10) allows shots that drop sharply, making returns difficult for opponents. Compared to Yasaka Mark V HPS Soft (~7.5/20 spin), VJC>07 Sticky Extra provides significantly more spin and higher trajectory, making it more effective for aggressive shots.

Control
Thanks to the sticky topsheet and harder sponge, the rubber provides maximum control (100/100, ~12.5/20), especially in short game play, serves, passive returns and blocks. Compared to Yasaka Rakza 7 (~7.9/20 control), VJC>07 Sticky Extra offers better control and more forgiveness, making it suitable for players transitioning to high-spin attacking play.

Technical Specifications & Playing Characteristics:

Playing Aspects:

Blade Compatibility:

Victas VJC>07 Sticky Extra pairs well with all-round and fast blades that complement its speed, spin and control:

It is recommended to use VJC>07 Sticky Extra 1.8mm on backhand with all-round blades (e.g. Nittaku Acoustic) or 2.0mm/max thickness on forehand with faster blades (e.g. Stiga Clipper CR) to maintain racket balance and maximize speed and spin potential.

Additional Information:

Victas VJC>07 Sticky Extra is an innovative hybrid rubber developed using latest Japanese technology combining slightly sticky Chinese topsheet with harder Japanese sponge (47.5°) ensuring improved speed, spin and control. Compared to DHS Hurricane 3 Neo (~15.5/20 spin), VJC>07 Sticky Extra offers slightly less spin but better control (~12.5/20) and easier handling. Compared to Victas VJ>07 Stiff (~13.3/20 speed, ~13.0/20 spin), VJC>07 Sticky Extra provides slightly lower speed but higher spin and control, making it suitable for players emphasizing spin and precision.

Users compare VJC>07 Sticky Extra to DHS Hurricane 3-50, noting it's lighter and more durable with better control but slightly lower speed. The rubber is available in various sponge thicknesses: 1.8mm, 2.0mm and max, allowing players to choose optimal version for their playing style. Users highlight rubber's "excellent control", "high spin", "easy handling" and "durability", though note it may be slightly slower for extremely aggressive shots compared to modern offensive rubbers. Regular cleaning with specialized cleaner (e.g. Victas Rubber Cleaner) and protective film use are recommended to prevent damage. ITTF-approved, Victas VJC>07 Sticky Extra is suitable for competition and ideal for players seeking reliable rubber with balanced speed, spin and control.
