Venus 3 Medium is a hybrid-type overlay. It combines the virtues of tensor and Chinese Velcro. It has a stiff, but rather elastic sponge and slightly sticky tops. The result is a fast, tenacious and very powerful lining with a tough feeling - for those who like hard Velcro, but want a more modern and effective overlay.
Unlike traditional Velcro, the Venus 3 Medium has a much stronger rebound by using a modern elastic sponge and reducing stickiness. Thanks to this, it was possible to combine in this overlay of dignity and Velcro, and tensor. From Velcro - increased control in the short game and in defense, and a very powerful "sticky" top. Plus - a good flat game, powerful and control final kick, and a good block. Because unlike the classic old type Velcro, this lining has a strong straight rebound, necessary for block and flat play. The flat game at Venus 3 Medium is much better than the classic old Velcro, such as DHS Skyline 2.
It is very effective in the game topspin, as very powerful, and make topspin easily.
In general, if we talk about the game tospin, the control is high. Also, if you wish, you can vary - to make topspins with a high arc, or vice versa, low, swollen, seeking to go under the racket. Of course, for such variations you need a high level of proficiency in topspin technique, but it is glad that the lining all this allows. In general, it should be noted that in the first place the overlay is still focused on a powerful, forceful attack, not screwing up and hovering topspins.
Also, unlike conventional Velcro (and from a number of tuned), Venus 3 Medium is good in flat play and block. Hard stomping gives it such a useful property as a weak reaction to the incoming rotation, and the elastic sponge gives a rebound, thanks to which the ball at a roll or block does not fall into the net (as in the rotten classic limes such as commercial Skyline), and flies to the table.
Particularly noteworthy is the "omnivorousness" of this lining to the bases - unlike the old hard Velcro, it does not require only a certain type of reason, and can work well on a variety of grounds.
In general - it turned out to be a very successful overlay, combining together a number of advantages, which basically previously existed only separately in different overlays. It is much better than a lot of more expensive overlays of this type, and perhaps even that is the best of the low-cost overlays of this type. Also at the same time for its modest price, it also has good durability.
