Customer review for DHS Hurricane 3 Neo - 39 Degrees

External Review for DHS Hurricane 3 Neo on May 10, 2017

This was my first FH rubber so I don't have anything to compare to. However, I can see why many people like it.
This chinese rubber is tacky. This is great for heavy topspin loopers and can generate a hefty amount of spin. Once it hits the opponents side it takes off.
For driving and smashing, it does fairly well. With it being a harder sponge, smashing is not its strength, but it does produce.

Countering underspin is where this rubber shines. It takes almost no effort to lift the ball on a moderate to heavy underspin.

Control is moderate. This rubber is very sensitive to incoming spin, especially side spin. When testing ball placement, this rubber shoots the ball quite high, so the throw angle of any incoming ball with spin is going to launch it.

Touch play is quite surprisingly easy. Even though it is sensitive to opponents spin and being a tacky rubber, it has a generally soft feel on short plays and pushes. Blocking is somewhat of a mystery to me on this rubber, but I am usually not a blocking type. The few blocks I have managed to return, it was decently able to put the ball back on the table, but don't expect this rubber to make it back every time.

Close to the table is easy where this rubber has it's advantages as well. Heavy looping, counter topspin, decent speed. It's easy to get the ball back before the opponent has a chance to think. Away from the table it starts to drop in speed and power as there is no catapult effect for this rubber.

Overall this is a decent rubber or anyone who wants to get into Chinese tacky rubbers, and at a decent price, it's a no brainer.
