Hammond Z2 compared to Fastarc G1

[bones]

Wich is the blade that are you using?

HI, I had a blade made for me by SDC Blades. (very well made and a joy to play with by the way).

It is a 5 ply wood, Limba/Spruce/Kiri/Spruce/Limba.

I particularly wanted it to be as light as possible, 75g and it is around an All round plus / off - in its action.

Another question for those who have used both the G1 and the Z2.

Does either perform better on service receive,
I suppose I'm asking is one less spin sensitive than the other?

Strange, it has the same sponge as T05. I will find out for myself soon…

Yea, the difference is in the topsheet and to me T05's is more dynamic and I prefer the feel.

From what I can remember, they're similar in serve receive, the G-1 might be a tad less bouncy there, but the Z2's feel is so great and it's still controls well in the short game. You'd think it would jump more like Tenergy.

It must be a little bit softer then, I’ll probably like that. It stays longer on the surface (dwell time I hate that expression…).

T19 felt marginally harder than T05 for me, I didn't like it as much and couldn't tell much difference except in feel, but a lot of people enjoy it especially with the plastic ball.

Hmm, I heat mostly reports on T19 being slightly faster, no reports on bounciness though.
I’m quite happy with T05 right now but I figure the chase the best never ends…

I got a few sheets T19 too and I will find out eventually.

Never hurts to try and find out for yourself!

Let me know what you think.

I have a thread or two dedicated to my SDC blades. There I went back to basics and moved up. I will post it there but it is still months away…

What are you looking for? The people described very well how goes each rubber so you can take a decision in consonance only to benefit your game style.
