Customer review for DHS Hurricane 3 National - Blue Sponge

External Review for DHS Hurricane 3 National - Blue Sponge on May 11, 2018

I bought my H3 Nat almost 2 years ago at the Li Sheng sports supermarket, Wangfujing, Beijing for 480 rmb. Highly recommend to visit this place, btw, in case anybody of you guys would come to China. A table tennis shop is located on the third floor there, it's an authorized DHS dealer. 480 rmb is actually more than 70 bucks, so something tells me its price abroad must be 85 bucks at least. More than a year I had been thinking H3 provincial Neo orange sponge is the best version of this rubber. I should say I live in Beijing, play at local clubs and attend classes at the Young Shine/ tt school whose owner is Guo Yan, former two times World Cup, World team championship winner, current Beijing female team's head coach, Ding Ning is actually her player. So my forehand playing is definitely Chinese-like. H3 prov Neo OS is very easy to break in comparing to other versions of the rubber, I used it on a Xiom Vega Tour having hinoki as outer ply, I think most of you knows this wood is actually not a match for Hurricane. At the same time I was playing with a bunch of other H3s on my Xiom Vega Euro: Prov non-neo, Prov Neo Blue sponge, Nittaku nr, Nittaku pro, Nittaku turbo orange. I'd say they are very similar to each other comparing to H3Nat. They are all slow even being tuned (btw, it seems H3Nat responds to tuning better). It's not that bad, btw, as long as you only play with them. But it's very difficult to make yourself to come back to the necessity to work on every stroke if you've already tried H3 Nat. I'd say speed is the only big difference between it and the Provincial. But for many it's the biggest Hurricane's shortcoming
