Crazy Victory 2
Friendship Crazy Victory 2 is a 7-ply offensive blade built for players who want a dynamic blend of speed, control, and spin. Its inner Arylate-Carbon (ALC) construction delivers a softer, more wood-like feel with excellent dwell time, making it ideal for powerful loops and aggressive attacks from mid-distance. This blade offers a responsive and lively touch that supports both controlled placement and explosive offensive play, providing a balanced platform for spin-oriented strategies.
This 5+2 construction features inner Arylate-Carbon layers sandwiched between wood plies. Limba outer plies provide good feel and spin surface, while Ayous core plies offer stability. The inner ALC layers enhance speed and stiffness without making the blade overly rigid, creating that characteristic ball-holding effect and strong bottom force for a balanced playing experience.

✦Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics
Crazy Victory 2 delivers solid offensive speed suitable for looping and fast attacks. While not as explosively fast as some outer carbon blades, it provides plenty of power on full swings with good first speed. The inner ALC construction gives it a lively, responsive feel that supports aggressive play without feeling uncontrollable.
Control is a standout feature of this blade. Players report excellent precision for looping and mid-distance play, with the inner ALC layers enhancing dwell time and feel. This allows for confident shot placement and makes it easier to engage the ball deeply, providing both security and accuracy during rallies.
Crazy Victory 2 offers a medium feel that blends wood-like touch with carbon-enhanced elasticity. It's less stiff than outer carbon blades, providing good ball pocketing and a distinctive wooden sound on contact. This balanced feel supports both touch shots and powerful strokes.
Crazy Victory 2 produces a medium-high throw angle that's ideal for looping. This trajectory helps the ball arc effectively over the net and land deep on the table, supporting spin-oriented attacks and consistent offensive play.
The inner ALC placement significantly enhances dwell time, creating excellent ball-holding ability. This extended contact helps generate heavy spin, particularly on loops and powerful strokes, giving players more time to impart rotation and control the ball's trajectory.
This blade offers a good balance of stiffness and flexibility. While not as flexible as all-wood blades, it provides more flex than many outer carbon options, aiding in ball pocketing and spin generation. This flexibility supports controlled shots while maintaining stability on powerful strokes.
Vibration levels are moderate, providing clear feedback without being harsh. The inner carbon construction dampens vibration compared to outer carbon blades, resulting in a comfortable feel that communicates contact well while maintaining a controlled playing experience.
Build quality is generally good with a solid feel and well-constructed handle. However, like many Friendship blades, the edges can arrive quite sharp and may benefit from light sanding for comfort. Once addressed, the blade offers reliable construction and consistent performance.
Technology
Friendship Crazy Victory 2 uses a 5-wood plus 2 inner Arylate-Carbon (ALC) construction. This strategic placement of carbon fibers closer to the core creates a blade that feels softer and more wood-like while enhancing dwell time and control. The inner carbon design optimizes ball 'eating' and increases strength on powerful strokes, differentiating it from outer carbon blades by providing better touch and spin potential alongside carbon-enhanced speed.
