The Nittaku Hammond Z2 rubber has a fantastic “bulkhead” sponge, creating max power while reducing energy loss, and strengthening repulsive force.
The natural rich topsheet, which has a high ratio of natural rubber and a high density of rubber sheets, is great because it does not fall off even if it is taken thinly. Take control of the match with the ability to counter your opponent’s rotation and pierce the opponent’s court deeply even if you are away from the table!
Nittaku Hammond Z2 provides a superior grab feeling, and upgrades the original speed of the Hammond Pro rubber.
The Hammond series, adopted by many top athletes, has powered up for the new era with Hammond Z2!
OlleOst –
This is the new monster-rubber from Nittaku, i bought it same day it showed. This is a rubber for world-class players, therefor i bought it in 1.8mm. Had i bought it in 2.3 i had crushed the windows in the playinghall, because it is FAST. It has nothing in common with other Hammond-rubbers. If you can handle it, it is the best rubber in the world ever. The top spins comes back from the opponent outside the table very easy to loop around the table in a low stroke, and is impossible for the opponent. The spin is so incredible spinny, and add a very strange topsheet with small small hills(!) that makes it behave very strange for the opponent. Sometimes it pass my friend with a meter, and sometimes it just goes under or over his blade, and sometimes it even ”dies” in the air, making it the ULTIMATE looping rubber. You can also hold tje table and its aiming is invredible and just smash side to side, landing on the white line or next to it. I play with it an hour 3 times a week, but i am not ready to play matches yet, this take time, but during the latest 13 years i have tested 220+ rubbers, and never ever even come close to this one. A must for good players, and it is in my opinion almost cheating to play with it. High degree of natural rubber, and it sems to last a very long time!
