These new and improved H2s are designed specifically for the new VOC-Free glue era.
With 'NEO' Sponge, Neo Hurricane 2 rubber break through the speed limit of aqua-blue and keep the speed, spin and control of former hurricane 2 rubber. Quick attack, low arc and strong low fast loop are the characteristic of NEO Hurricane 2.
The perfect counterlooping rubber. Very low throw, low arc rubber. Only for advanced, close to table loopers. Counterloop is very easy because the ball stays low. But you have very little margin for error in loops. Loop arc is very flat. Compared to H3 Neo: with H3N, your shot goes upward; with H2N, your shot goes forward. So more power goes into speed and less into spin. With H2N you get less spin but more speed, less spin sensititivity, and it's easier to keep the ball low. H3 Neo is very high throw. With H3N, first loop is very easy, but if you get a good block you are likely to go long. With H2, the opposite. First loop will be very difficult, but the next ones will land.---Nowadays H2N can be found in hardness 39 and 40. They are very different. 39 is softer, bouncier, and can even be used unboosted. On 40, you need to use 2-3 layers. --- Topsheet is very hard, harder than other NEO rubbers, due to bigger pimples, so it's hard to use on backhand. --- Short receive is excellent, but this is true of all rubbers: H3, Tg2, Tg3, H2, H8.---- Let me summarize the throw angles (= arcs) of these rubbers: H2N: very low. TG2N: low. (almost exactly like 729 superfx, or 729 bloom power). H8: low. TG3N: medium. H3N: very high.---- So now you can choose the arc you need, depending on your skill and on how close to table you play (choose low throw if close to table)
I do not understand, why many people prefer H3 neo and then complain about the speed. They should simply choose this one! Another difference to H3 neo is, that H2 neo has a little bit lower throw angle. Please note that these rubbers without boosting is just waste of time
Not too speed,Spins well and control is almost good.If you would mind the price its a good rubber for Offensive player but not good for OFF+ player.very Tacky so produces nice spin and flick.too weak for playing off the table and very important! the performance of this rubber totally depends on the blade you are matching with it.
Came back to Neo H2 after about 1.5 of playing with tensors on BH. Love at the first sight again :).
Reason i picked up tensors is my age actually. I was getting bit tired of swinging all the time and tensors did help good amount in that department.
H2 in any sponge is no where near as bouncy as tensors or "automatic" from mid distance but that does not mean it is slow. Fast and bouncy are not the same terms when speaking about rubbers.
H2 is rubber with insane amount of spin. Flicking serves is so easy, it feels like cheating actually. Tack helps bunch with close to the table shots.
It lasts a long time, spins great, it has amazing speed, low throw .... basically all you can ask for perfect BH rubber.
Most of it is already explained in reviews so no point doing it over again:)
Highly recommended rubber for anybody!!! One of the best ever in my opinion.
Enjoy TT and have fun :)
