Customer review for DHS Hurricane 3 Neo - 39 Degrees

External Review for DHS Hurricane 3 Neo on April 23, 2018

I usually play with regular Hurricane 3, but decided to try the neo version because many people say it's better then regular H3. IMHO, there is no significant differences between H3 neo and regular H3. There are a few differences, but they are not instantly noticeable.
As the manufacturer claims, H3 neo has softer sponge with more catapult effect, which should increase speed and control. However, the tacky topsheet kind of nullify the catapult effect, so the improvement on speed is only marginal. The softer/elastic sponge and tacky topsheet allow for longer dwell time and better control, than regular H3. Finally, H3 neo also has slightly higher throw angle than H3. Again, this is due to the more elastic and more dynamic nature of the neo sponge. Better control and slightly higher throw angle are the reasons why most people agree that H3 neo is easier to play with than regular H3.
Overall, this is a very good rubber if you like tacky Chinese rubber. I would rate this rubber 9 out of 10. If you tried H3 and think it's too hard to control, H3 neo might be better for you. But since I'm already used to H3, I have no reason to switch to H3 neo, given that both rubbers have almost identical speed and spin. I kind of prefer the lower throw angle of H3 anyway.
