Victas Curl P2V

The Curl P2V is a long pips rubber designed for defensive and disruptive play. While the manufacturer is unknown, the “Curl” designation strongly suggests it’s intended for creating unpredictable ball trajectories and maximizing spin reversal. This rubber prioritizes control and deception over outright speed. Expect a slow to medium speed, allowing for precise placement and effective blocking. Spin generation on your own is minimal, but the long pips excel at absorbing incoming spin and returning the ball with reversed spin, making it difficult for opponents to attack consistently. Control is a key strength, enabling players to execute a variety of defensive techniques, including chopping, blocking, and pushing.

The Curl P2V is ideally suited for defensive players who play close to the table or further back, relying on spin variation and disruptive tactics to win points. Players who enjoy chopping from a distance will find this rubber capable of generating heavy backspin, while those who prefer blocking close to the table can use it to create unpredictable float balls and spin reversals. While the exact sponge hardness is unknown without further testing, long pips rubbers typically have soft to medium-soft sponges to enhance control and dwell time. The P2V likely features a sponge designed to maximize the disruptive effect of the long pips, allowing for greater variation in spin and trajectory. This rubber is not recommended for aggressive attacking players.
