The Animus Victoria is designed for Combi players, and was inspired by the retired Nittaku Combi Wood Attack. This blades rigid design goes well with soft sponge rubbers. Having used a different structure for each of the side, makes this blade perfect for those who use an anti-spin or pimple out rubber in combination with a pimples in rubber. This characteristic makes it ideal for a passive and block game, without making other strokes impractical. Being moderately fast makes this a good blade for defenders who attack as soon as the perfect opportunity shows itself.
