    It's an old-school rubber that middle-aged guys love — solidly made and long-lasting, kind of like a light pickup truck of a rubber.
    Its reach clearly falls short of tension rubbers, but the speed is more than enough for district tournaments at the junior high or high school club level.
    Rather than a wild, flies-off-on-its-own tension rubber, this lets you get a feel for generating your own power, so you'll build a solid form.

    Getting a Vitz (automatic) right after getting your license isn't necessarily a bad thing, but rather than getting used to the convenience of a rubber that does everything for you from the start, I think it's better to first learn to handle a light truck (manual), and only then move on to a manual sports car — you'll be able to handle it with much more solid skill that way.
    On the flip side, this probably isn't the rubber serious competitors chasing high tournament finishes would use in a match.

    An ideal rubber for a first or second rubber for a junior high club player or a fairly serious youth-club player.
    It could almost be classified as a light tension rubber, and I think its performance exceeds its price.
    Comparing Gambit medium thickness to Ventus Basic (VB) thick, personally I felt the bounce, spin, and speed were all better than the VB.

    The fact that VICTAS discontinued it is probably partly about sales volume, but the performance is good enough that I suspect the cost and retail price just weren't well balanced.
    It was released relatively recently, in 2017, but I think it got buried under the tension-rubber trend, and the VB was easier to keep around since it's part of the Ventus series - but it's a shame that a rubber like this gets discontinued. It's like an A-side single that was a hit thanks to a tie-in coupling song, but still got buried by the times.
