External Review for DHS Hurricane 8 - 40 Degrees on April 22, 2016

Over the last few years of developing my game, and trying to figure out my style, my tendency led me to loop attach. I was playing with tensor rubber on my forehand (Xiom Omega IV Pro), but it's too fast and low throw for playing close to the table. I wanted to experiment with Chinese style rubbers, and saw this was relatively new. I bought a sheet from Zero Pong for $28. I called to verify the hardness, and they only stock medium. Perfect. In my first night at the club using it, my game completely transformed. If you are using tensors, and can be honest with yourself that you miss too many shots because you go long, try this. I had very little adjustment. It was stupidly easy to control my shots everywhere. I tried it on my W-6 blade, and found it to be a good fit of flex and speed. Overall speed is medium, but at close to the table, you don't need speed if you're controlling your shots, and moving your opponent around. The rubber put the ball wherever I told it to. I felt like Oh Sang-eun! I swear. I do not tune, and really I don't see the need with this. I am a HUGE believer, that blades need paired to the rubber. Although it works well on my OFF- all wood blade (Because I wan't spin and control first and foremost!), I think this would pair REALLY well with a 729 Bomb blade. That would get you more speed on bigger loops at mid distance. Overall I'm happy. Serves are good with a good brush technique. Lifting backspin is pretty easy. This rubber is a loop drive, smash/Loopkill rubber. But the short game control is shockingly good.
