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.

Por su precio, está bastante bien. Buen agarre y mejor velocidad. Es un caucho clásico de Nittaku, una compra segura. No te decepcionará y por el precio encontrarás pocos cauchos que se le comparen.

High quality product from Nittaku at a very attractive price. Medium hardness, good grip, and excellent control. An excellent option for those who want to play with good professional equipment without overpaying for expensive brands.

Review text:

Excellent lightweight FH rubber. Good grippy top sheet. Medium sponge hardness perfect for looping. Quite good lasting given the value.

Very similar to Flyatt Soft with its soft, bouncy sponge and bouncy/grippy/supple topsheet. The bounciest and most reactive sheet I have ever played with. Difficult to control. Racket head angle, stroke form, and body position should be near perfect or you will overshoot the table A LOT. Incredibly soft/slow hand needed for pushing and chopping. Could be good for close to the table countering, but you will still need the quickness to get your racket positioned right.

There is a good review on YouTube that demonstrates its away from table power, but again (and you will see if you watch) stroke form is critical.

Jokingly, I am curious about the VA sponge version that is reportedly even bouncier only to satisfy my curiosity as to whether there can be a rubber even bouncier than the regular CR and WHY? Anyone would want such a monstrosity?

This is the great rubber in terms of control on mid-impact shots. But I feel a lack of stability with high-impact shots - substantially lower spin and somewhat unstable trajectory. However, this applies to most soft rubbers. Anyway, this is a high-quality and very playable covering that can be a great backhand rubber for the majority of non-pros. Thanks to TT11, we have a good alternative to short-lasting ESN tensors.

The price/quality is just superb.

Really light, bouncy, medium-throw rubber. It offers good speed and is quite spinny, with astonishing control and an unbeatable price.

Very controllable rubber. Requires a fast, carbon blade. I use it on the left side. Jacques Super Puls base. Flick, control game is very good.

Good spin in topspin, good control in counter and block.
Medium-fast. Moderate catapult effect.

I did not play in the hall. Quarantine until the 21st. By the feel of it, based on the Primorak Carbon, it is fast, softer than medium hardness. Good for playing on the left. After training on the table, I will send more.

Everything was perfect. Thanks!
