External Review for Nittaku Hurricane Pro 3 Turbo - Blue Sponge on September 8, 2021

I wait too long to try this rubber, should have tried it before. What a great rubber it is! But keep in mind it is a 100% chinese-type rubber. There is no tension in sponge, no catapult on impact, no easy power when looping. That said, the NHP3TB is faster then regular Hurricane 3 Neo, both unglued. And way heavier and harder. A friend of mine said it reminds old Tackifire Special, the hardest rubber ever released. So it does not go well with every blade. Stiff carbon blades are not the best match for it, it must be a slightly flexible blade. For example, I glued it on a Zhang Jike ZLC, the setup was like a brick, very hard to control and to input spin to the ball. So, dont even think about Primorac Carbon or Ovtcharov Carbospeed if you want to try this rubber. Ok, later I changed it to a Timo Boll ALC and it became much easier (and fun) to play. With a setup like this the Turbo Blue shines. Opening topspins go with ease and loops are very fast. When loops are properly executed ball bounces very low after touching the table. You dont get this kind of shot with any ESN rubber, only with chinese ones. As said before, this rubber is heavy and requires a full arm swing to generate speed. But if you can deal with it the reward is huge and will put a smile on your face. I give it a 9/10 due to the insane weight, probably the heaviest rubber Ive tried so far, and the price, it is almost twice the price of regular Hurricane 3 Neo.
