Yes something Tenergy like. I've heard in one Japanese review that is better performing than Glayzer and cheaper. Stronger bounce, faster and good spin.
Or performing differently atleast.
Well, it is cheaper in Japan. If its the same as the Hammond Z2 then the european price will rise. I guess it will be same as G1 now at around 40-50euros.

So I today I glued a 2.0mm Blastac in red on my Nittaku S-CZ with ST handle. I used it on my forehand. On my backhand I used a new Fastarc G1 1.8mm in black. Two layers of Revolution Nr.3 each on rubber and blade.

First impressions:
From the first touch I noticed a lower arc compared to Tenergy 05 and 80. Good feeling over all. I think the control is above Tenergy when you get used to the lower arc.
Counter is intuitive, you have to open the racket a bit more. Blocking is solid, good feeling and control.
Topspin with a lot of spin and control. You can place the ball very precisely with less speed then Tenergy 05. Short game is also very controlled, better than Tenergy.
Compared to G1 in 1.8mm it is not as crisp and definitely softer. G1 has a higher arc. Just twiddled once so I have to test again next time.

How's the spin compare to the G1?

So second training session with Balstac finished.
This time it felt more crisp. Maybe after nearly a week the glue is fully dried, don't know (read something in another thread). But not as hard as Faster G1, so definitely would rank it on the softer sider. When I remember Faster C1 I would say it is more controlled and predictable.
