they are pretty similar the topsheet spin is not that great.(mp is slightly spinnier). But they're super spinny mechanical wise. |

Thanks for the quick reply. I see that Paddle Palace rates them both about the same speedwise but has the Hammond X rated with more spin. I loved the regular MP and regular Hammond.too. Looking for a new setup so hoping for some inside info before I decide. ------------- Enrique |

So true.....! I wish I could find a rubber with that kind of speed but a with a little more spin. I wonder if J.O. Gold would be in that category but I doubt it is as fast as either Optimum MP or Hammond X ? ------------- Enrique |

From my use, I'd say Hammond X is spinnier especially for low speed shots, Optimum MP is a bit harder and faster. If you want something fast and spinny you could look at Nittaku Renanos, either hard or soft according to your preferences. Regards, Jonathan ------------- Regards, Jonathan |

Thanks for the kind response. Is Renanos made in Germany or Japan and has anyone else used it? ------------- Enrique |
