Victas Curl P4V
Rubber description:
This long pimples rubber features a pimple structure modeled after the Curl P1V, paired with an exceptionally soft sponge designed for modern defensive play. It is engineered to facilitate high levels of backspin generation, allowing players to execute heavy chops.
Performance Characteristics
- Spin and Grip: The rubber is characterized by high grip, which enables the production of significant spin on defensive strokes and facilitates offensive play, such as attacking floating balls.
- Control and Dwell: The inclusion of a soft sponge provides increased dwell time, which assists in the consistency and control of chopping movements.
- Spin Sensitivity: Due to its high-grip surface, the rubber is sensitive to incoming spin. This characteristic makes returning serves more challenging compared to less grippy long-pimpled alternatives.
Suitability
The rubber is primarily targeted toward defenders seeking a versatile tool for both chopping and occasional aggressive play. While some users report high satisfaction with its versatility and spin generation, others note that its sensitivity to incoming spin and specific handling requirements may impact its overall consistency depending on the user’s technical skill.

This is a very good chopping rubber. It has high grip and creates massive amounts of spin when chopping. It’s reasonably easy to attack with it due to the high grip. This is important because when attacking players start to float the ball, they struggle to attack, this shot becomes important. The only downside I would say is service returns. Due to the high grip, it is a bit sensitive to incoming spin when receiving serves, so this must be taken into account as the downside but I am satisfied with this rubber.

Very hard to control, yet not very spinny.
T-1 is more powerful, and Butterfly Feint Long 2/3 has more control and consistency.
I would not buy this one if I had a chance.

High-quality long pimples rubber with a high grip that can generate heavy backspin from the first chop. The sponge is quite soft (1.5 mm), which offers excellent control for chopping.
The rubber is sensitive to incoming spin, so receiving serves is a bit more difficult compared with P1V.
