Customer review for DHS Hurricane 9 - Blue

External Review for DHS Hurricane 9 - Blue on July 3, 2024

2. Update! Unfortunately, this rubber is sold under two different names! - DHS Hurricane 9 Blue and DHS H9 Blue.
Facts: my (blue) H9 in 2.15 mm thickness weighs 96 grams in the original packaging, 70 grams uncut including protective film and finally, cut to 157 x 150 mm, (heavy) 51 grams. Unfortunately, I couldn't understand the stated sponge hardness of 39 degrees. With my Shore Meter I could only measure 36 degrees!!! This H9 is (glued with conventional solvent-based glue, unboosted!!!) an absolute disaster. (- I hope I didn't buy a fake!!!) No matter how fast the blade is, there is simply no speed to be gained from the rubber. Although it is slightly sticky, it does not even achieve mediocre spin values! Softer, more elastic woods "play along" with it, but do not change the completely poor performance. Only the catapult behavior feels higher and more pleasant.
Conclusion: for me this rubber is "the master of disaster." ;-P
... there are plenty of cheaper rubbers that are better!!! - like Lokis Arthur China or Europe.
