Gambler Zero is a mechanical spin type rubber, generating spin exclusively via grip. Zero’s non-tacky surface is ideal for away table play or flat hitting (just like Japan or Euro rubber). While Zero is geared for the intermediate to beginning player it is still very capable of generating high speed and spin.
• Speed: 94
• Spin: 88
• Control: 97
• Sponge Type: Gambler Chinese MID 38 +-4
• Spin Type: Mechanical (100% Mechanical)
Note: Better performance than typical Chinese brands, similar in play to traditional Sriver® or Mark V®.

Have this in 1.7. Great rubber. Very light. Pretty balanced…I’d say the ratings are spot on except 88 might be a little low on spin. It’s a little higher in my opinion. No problem generating tons of spin. Only downside for me is it has a higher throw than I expected and am used to. Higher throw than Mech-Tek Predator, for comparison, which is the other newer Gambler rubber I’ve tried.

Great rubber. I like the balance of spin and speed you can generate. I use the 2.1 for forehands and find it offers a great balance of control, speed, and spin. Highly recommend.

I use 1.7 for both Red and Black. ZERO has lots of control with nice speed. Not a lot of spin, but it has decent amount of spin. Very satisfied.

Fantastic rubber. I had this paired with Gambler Fire Dragon Touch blade. Great balance with spin and speed.
