Players use HAMMOND Z2
- Exceptional speed with linear, sharp drives that are easy to execute
- Hard sheet with strong characteristics; difficult for intermediate players but ideal for advanced users
- Adequate spin but emphasizes speed; may disappoint those prioritizing rotation
- Excels at attacking techniques like counters and flat hits; tends to drop on blocks and backspin

I used to use Rasant C53, and my drives never landed deep on my opponent's side, but my club coach recommended this one, and once I tried it, the ball drives in hard and deep on the opponent's side.
The power behind the spin and speed is insane, and it's amazing how you can put spin on the ball without it dropping short.
This is Nittaku's strongest rubber, surpassing even Tenergy and C48.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Personally I'd call this a speed-oriented rubber. Fast drives and flat hits felt really good. That said, you probably shouldn't expect much spin from it...
The sheet is hard and the rubber flies quite a bit, so I think it works best on a softer blade like a 5-ply wood, or if you want a composite blade, an inner-composite one.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

I was using Hammond Z2 on my backhand. The ball flew in a straight line. Flat hits and blocks were good, but my drives kept clipping the net or sailing long. G-1 is better in both spin and consistency for drives. I think this rubber suits the forehand better.

I'm a chopper. I tried this at a Nittaku demo event.
This is a comparison with Fastarc C-1.
Z2 is overwhelmingly faster. You get speed no matter how you make contact. C-1 had more spin, but if you use a grabbing stroke you can still get plenty of spin out of Z2. What surprised me was the counters and topspin rallies. With Z2 I could hit solidly without losing to my opponent's shots - I was impressed. However, since I hit against backspin by driving straight into the ball, I couldn't lift it at all.
Chops landed far more controlled than you'd expect from how fast it is on offense - more stable than with C-1. Even on an inner-composite racket, there was almost no unwanted bounce.
I can recommend this rubber to attacking players who want speed, or to choppers who want to transition from chops into counters.
If I could hit against backspin with it, I'd probably be using it myself. It's a good rubber, so why not give it a try?All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I switched from Fastarc G-1 to Hammond Z2.
The rubber is hard, so counters and flat hits come in really sharp. The spin is relatively low, but I think it's still plenty. Since the rubber is on the harder side it's a bit less forgiving than G-1, but drives and flicks still land solidly.
I think it's perfect for anyone looking for sharp, driving shots, topspin rallies away from the table, and counters!!
(Even aside from that, it's a really good rubber overall.)All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Speed is fast.
Spin is so-so.
It's fairly hard to handle.
People who like to brush the ball probably won't like this type.
This kind of rubber probably wouldn't catch on these days.
If they'd released it a bit earlier, it probably would've been a big hit.
Personally, something like Fastarc still
feels easier to use to me.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft
Racket recommended use Timo Boll ALC

It might be easy to use if you swing firmly forward. If you swing upward, it definitely won't suit you.
The speed is fast, but it's a pretty hard rubber, so I'd recommend Fastarc instead for intermediate players.
The spin is just so-so, so don't expect too much. Personally it wasn't really a rubber I liked, lol.
Compared to Fastarc or Rozena it's harder to use, but if you have a strong personal style, prioritize speed, and want at least a minimum amount of spin,
I think it's worth considering.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
