Customer review for DHS Hurricane 3 Provincial - Orange Sponge

External Review for DHS Hurricane 3 Provincial - Orange Sponge on May 18, 2018

Blade: Butterfly Viscaria
FH: Hurricane 3 Provincial 39 Degree 2.2mm
BH: Skyline 2 Neo 39 Degree 2.15mm

I picked this sheet up from Megaspin and used it for around a year on this setup . This is by far the best forehand rubber I have used so far . It plays similar to the commercial Neo version of Hurricane but is better in terms of speed and spin . The most noticeable difference is the AMAZING catapult effect you get when you brush the ball. If you notice with Chinese rubbers, if a solid contact is achieved , you will see the rubber hit the opponents side of the table and then immediately speed up , making it hard for the opponent to react . This is certainly evident with this rubber . Against chops and backspin, this rubber does superbly. I would say this rubber EXCELS actually from a mid distance , since the catapult effect coupled with the spin make the rubber harder to keep on the table close distance . The only downside of the rubber is its durability. For the first 10 or so sessions , this rubber performed amazing , but dropped considerably after that . I have another setup with just the H3Neo commercial that I've been using for even longer than this and it still retains its spin and speed . This rubber after 20 sessions is dead though, average spin and speed. If you run your finger across the top sheet, it slides across now , compared to holding your finger in place due to the tack.

Overall, definitely still my favourite rubber for FH, but due to the durability issues, I decided it more feasible to use a boosted H3 Neo commercial . If not for the durability , I would rate this 9 like the Commercial H3 Neo . Still a game changing rubber ! Recommend !
