Gomma Sword / 2000F Backhand

Sword 2000F Backhand: Ultra-Lightweight European-Style Control Rubber for Pure Backhand Precision

The Sword 2000F Backhand is an exquisitely engineered specialty rubber dedicated specifically to the demands of the modern backhand wing. Renowned for its astonishingly low weight (just 36–38 grams cut!), it pairs a semi-tacky, elastic topsheet with a soft 2.0 mm sponge. This combination provides incredible tactile feedback, allowing players to absorb heavy incoming topspins on the block and redirect balls with surgical precision anywhere on the table.

Key Performance Characteristics in Play

• Featherlight Weight Balance: At only 36–38 grams when cut, it lightens the overall racket setup, enabling ultra-fast backhand wrist flick acceleration and fatigue-free multi-hour sessions.
• Unsurpassed Blocking Stability: The soft sponge absorbs incoming loop energy effortlessly, making passive blocks against heavy spin predictable, secure, and low.
• Effortless Opening Against Backspin: The semi-tacky topsheet grips the ball reliably on compact backhand swings, lifting underspin balls with high safety margins.
• Linear Placement: Zero erratic springiness ensures that placement is strictly dictated by the player's blade angle and hand action.

Blade Synergies and Equipment Matching

Due to its ultra-lightweight profile, Sword 2000F Backhand is the dream partner for heavier forehand rubbers (like DHS Hurricane 3). Combining it with a classic 5-ply wood like Yasaka Sweden Extra or Gewo Zoom Pro yields an extraordinarily agile racket with flawless balance.
