Nittaku Hammond CR

Fantastic control. Very easy to return spin or drivespin and go to counterattack. It is very light. Trajectory is mid low and straight (no high parabola). In short and pimple game, your movement must be short and from the wrist. Enough power for a midle distance game. Good old Hammond on modern quality sponge. That is what I was waiting for.

I used it on my backhand with the Nittaku Latika 7 all wood blade (Off -). I found it a little slow and sometimes had problems opening loops and finishing points. This may be due to the all wood Latika 7 blade. I will switch it to a faster blade and write about my impressions soon.

The rubber has good control and is suitable for chop playing and blocking.

Very good for backhand, or as forehand, with loss of spin, but very fast.
