Hammond Z2

[Haraold]

i completely understand,i also have no problems with Tibhar,playe enough of their stuff.
But if something is not my Gusto and i switch to another rubber that didnt warrant a ban for nothing.
They didnt even have a reason,let´s be honest at least they could came up with a fake one....
But it strikes me that the guy who knew i got suspended 5 mins after,didn´t repond in any manner at all.
But who gives a ****,it is a socialist forum over there lol.
Keep it up.

 

[Haraold]

well forget the other stuff..
Second Training Red 1.8 mm really good feeling,did some awesome shoots.
Flat shots are a Problem for me,but comes with Training.
Nice Rubber!

Why the smash? Is it because the ball goes over the table or in the net...or the rubber isn't bouncy enough

 

[Haraold]

in the net mostly,but that is my Positional Play.

It looks like TT11 is completely out of stock. Did you guys buy it all up?

In my club, it seems everybody is buying this rubber. And yesterday some guys also were trying but unable to buy from TT11.

 

[Gtsnake]

No wonder why it's out of stock. So what is the consensus from the people that tried it?

Everybody seems to find it very exciting and fun to play with. It feels very powerful

 

[Haraold]

if its durable,one of the best packages around.
But it is pricey.
But fast and spinny.

Sounds like something I want to try. But too powerful is not good without control. How is the short game? Does it just shoot off the rubber or can you play touch shots just drop over the net? How is the grip? Can you easily lift backspin and loop with big arc?

 

[Haraold]

short is controlled for me,keep in mind i play 1.8.
The 50 degree ESN Scale sponge helps,its linear but NOT spin Insensitive,but you can play flicks if you are able to,sure.
Yeah lifting backspin is one of the great strenghts,but keep the Arc in Mind,its at least Medium.(depends on your technique.)
the grip is really good but not tacky at all.
It is fast,but not crazy fast.(1.8 mm so take that with a grain of salt)
Hope this helps somewhat.

 

[Gtsnake]

Well I want to try it but I can't find it in stock at TT11.

What about here?

https://www.tabletennisstore.us/p-5433-nittaku-hammond-z2-table-tennis-rubber.aspx

Or maybe Paddle Palace

 

[Haraold]

Can´t really help there cause i ordered from Germany directly through Nittaku.tt (their Homepage)
But i got it delivered from Soulspin.de,where it isn´t listed at all.(Nittaku and Soulspin work together in Germany!)
Maybe shot them some mail.
Maybe if you tell us where you live someone else can give you tips about the best Price and stock!

 

[Haraold]

The rubber is really fun but faster than i thought.
If you give him the effort it deserves,some of the Arcs are amazing.
I may even bet some may downgrade to this rubber from 53+ if they play it max.

On custom blade maker Nate's Euro Larch outer blade which I use as a goof-off bat... it has a really odd strong dynamic 2 yr old sheet of MX-K on Fh that sounds SO ILLEGAL... I have Hammond on BH and am an utter boss there... so satisfying.

I can understand your affection for his Hammond variant.

 

[Haraold]

I play a "Stopsign" from SDC atm,the Barwell Fleet was the ground idea.
Sergió simply did the Rest
I believe there is another Nittaku Rubber on the Horizon,too.
Yeah i really think this rubber has potential.

 

[Haraold]

That Custom Blade sounds interesting,always heard about his Blades but was never fortunate to play it.

 

[Der_Echte]

He only made so many of them and is only known is a few places, here one of them, Nate4s is his user ID on this forum.

 

[Haraold]

Thx Der,maybe he will answer but i heard he "retired"?
