I played with 39 H3 Neo long ago and bought 39 Yinhe Big Dipper to replace H3.. BD's throw is high, it's bouncy and not too tacky, maybe because it's a hybrid rubber so it has an ESN rubber characteristic, it's a good rubber but it just didn't suit me well, I'm struggle with BD, then I bought 39 Battle II Pro to replace BD, the weight is little bit heavy I guess.. I'm surprised with 729 Battle II Pro, it makes me happy even in first stroke.. Glued to DHS PG5 in FH and paired with Palio AK47 Red in BH, 39 is harder than H3 Neo with a same number, I think it's around 53 in ESN rubber & 40 in DHS hardness scale.. It has a medium low throw, very tacky, more spin and more speed than a H3 Neo, serve is spinny, feel and control is very good, dwell time is controllable, you can lift a heavy backspin easily and ball will fly with a low trajectory, and touch game is superb.. Speed is slow when you hit slow and fast when you hit hard.. but remember, this chinese traditional rubber is not for a flat hitter.. This mean it's hard to smash a ball.. But when you attack with top spin & loop, this rubber will be a nightmare for your opponents.. The ball fly with a low trajectory, fast, spinny and jump even lower when it touch a table.. It's sensitive to an incoming spin due to it's tackiness and you should do a proper stroke technique with no hesitation whenever you want to hit the ball.. This rubber is hard to tame, but once you get used to it, you'll love this $24 rubber even more than H3/H3 Neo Commercial.. If you're a player with a chinese style, just try this out..
