Victas has taken over TSP and I guess the rubbers will be more or less identical compared to the TSP rubbers with the same name.

But still, there is the P3 and the P5 which had no equivalent version at TSP.

Here's what VICTAS describes:

P1: CURL P1V is the unrivalled top seller in the long pips-out segment and is used by many world-class defenders.
The soft rubber composition of the long and thin pimples as well as the rough surface of the pimples of the legendary CURL P1V allow for dangerous backspin variations.
These backspin variations plus maximum spin reversal are unique features of CURL P1V and the reason why CURL P1V is the first choice of top defenders around the world.

P2:The CURL P2V has the widest pimple structure of the entire CURL series.
This rubber is ideal for those who not only rely on away-from-the-table chopping but also want better block and counter options close to the table.

P3: CURL P3V is a long pips-out rubber with slightly shorter and wider pips.
Thanks to this pimple design, CURL P3V features excellent stability and control. If you are considering switching to a long pips-out rubber, CURL P3V will be a great choice as it is easy to control and allows for occasional attacking.

P3a: CURL P3aV is a rubber with thin and slightly shorter long pimples.
Both in close-to-the-table and in away-from-the-table situations, this rubber is made for safe and precise returning and placement. Just like CURL P1V, CURL P3aV is designed for dangerous spin variation.

P4: The CURL P4V combines a pimple structure similar to the legendary CURL P1V with an extremely soft sponge.
This combination provides modern defenders with everything they need to give their opponents a hard time. This high-quality rubber was developed and perfected by Koji Matsushita, one of the world's best defenders of all time.

P5: The pimple structure / geometry of CURL P5V is similar to the very popular CURL P1V.
Compared to other pips-out rubbers, CURL P5V has very hard pimples for maximum pressure. In blocking, flat bouncing of your blocks make it difficult for your opponents to play their next ball.
Choppers also love CURL P5V for the excellent control and precision it offers.

Anybody tries one of the Victas Curl rubbers?

I have a Victas Curl P1V which seems to be quite close to TSP Curl P1r, except the Victas felt grippier - probably because the sheet is new.
