Z2 has a long, thin pimple structure and a large pored sponge. This 47.5° medium hard sponge is ideal for many players. One feels the storm and its power with the first contact and can direct use this energy where one wants. Great speed, enormous rebound, with excellent spin and speed characteristics.
A concentrated demolition charge!

Used on the opposite side from the Z1.
The ball flies on a flat, straight trajectory. When I hit a drive right after using the Z1, it went into the net several times in a row.
Drives hit with a more hitting-style motion have good ball speed, which left a good impression. But loops have a distinctive trajectory. Overall, it's a rubber that doesn't send the ball upward much.
With chiquitas too, if I tried to produce a soft, spin-focused ball, it wouldn't clear the net.
However, meeting the ball is really good. In long rallies, it's good enough that hitting flat almost feels more stable than looping.
It might not suit players who drop their contact point low. It's better for players who like to battle at a fast pace close to the table. It's also lightweight.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Tugo Among the Blue Storm line, this is the spin-oriented one

I've hit with every rubber in the Bluestorm series except the Big Slam, Turbo, and Pro series. According to the official description, the Z2 is billed as the speed-type model within Bluestorm, but I thought this rubber holds the ball better than I expected. The Bluestorm series itself has a lot of bounce, so among all rubbers it falls into the bouncy category. Because of that, spin still came through solidly. For people who like Bluestorm's bounce, I'd recommend something like the Z1, but this one is easy to move to from other spin-oriented tension rubbers, so I'd recommend it to that kind of player!

The one word for it is "it flies." Everyone I lent it to said "it flies" as their first comment. It really does fly. But it's more like the rubber grips the ball firmly first, then launches it. Of course it's not a pure speed rubber, so it puts on plenty of spin too. If there's a downside, it's that it grips the ball so much that drives sometimes go long. Also, this might just be individual variation, but if you graze the top sheet's surface for a loop drive, it can slip and drop. Personally, I'd recommend this one for the backhand, where stability matters.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Used on the forehand.
I think this is an incredibly strong rubber against topspin. The max+ sponge gives you a lot of power.
For serves and the short game, the spin felt a bit weak.
For hitting backspin balls, it worked better to swing more forward than upward, using the surface rather than pushing with heavy spin, and instead relying on speed and ball power.
This is just my personal opinion, so please take it as a reference only.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Bluestorm Z2 delivers fast attacks with a lot of spin, but it also allows for great defense. I recommend it for modern defensive players (forehand), at the intermediate and advanced level.

Using this on the backhand. My forehand is Hexer Grip.
First off, the sponge color is great! A cool blue-and-green look!
Serves — you can rack up ace after ace
Pushes — easy to do
Chiquita — easy to pull off
I don't lose in topspin rallies eitherI even beat a Tenergy user easily!
I think this is a great rubber for your second racket.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

I used it as thick on the backhand of a shakehand racket.
My impression after using it was that the trajectory is straight and it has a lot of speed. Not just speed — it gets spin too. I'd recommend it to people switching over from short pips or who mainly use meeting shots.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
