Lemn Victas / Balsa 2.5

The Victas Balsa 2.5 is an ultra-defensive specialist blade tailored for classical defenders seeking the ultimate degree of ball control, touch sensitivity, and shot deceleration. Built with a 2.5 mm balsa core combined with glass fibre dampening layers, it acts as an absolute brake against fierce incoming topspin drives, giving choppers unrivaled defensive security.

Key Playing Characteristics

• Supreme Deceleration Power: The thin 2.5 mm balsa core dampens high-impact kinetic energy, keeping returns low and deep with microscopic margin for error.
• Featherweight Balance: Weighing only ~65 grams, it drastically reduces wrist fatigue during grueling endurance chopping rallies.
• Enhanced Reversal with Long Pips: The stiff composite layer combined with the soft core allows friction-less and low-friction long pips to reverse heavy topspin into lethal backspin.
• Sublime Short Game: Precision placement on drop shots and pushing battles at the net.
