I changed my DHS Hurricane 3 blue sponge 42 on my fh for this rubber. My review will be comparing them. The first noticeble differnce is the catapult effect. While the H3 has none, the O7 china has a noticeble one. It is fairly quicker in short game and blocks than the H3. The second thing you notice is the lack of tackiness. The H3 is a ocean tackier than the O7 china. This impacts the game a lot, becaus with the H3 you can brush the ball as thinlly as you want, and the rubber will grip the ball. With the O7 china was happening at the begining the ball slipping on the rubber. After a few hours you get used to both of the things I said. In general, the H3 is spinnier (not saying the O7 china produces low spin, it's just not as much as a H3). Now lets go to the similarities... the throw angle is very similar, the speed on drives is very similar, and the hardness is similar as well. I would say the O7 china is easier to play with because you don't need to activate every single ball due to catapult effect (noticeble when compared with the hurricane, but not high at all compare with an euro rubber). Conclusion: the O7 china is a very good rubber, it is a fast rubber and gets faster with the force of the shot. It has medium control, and it is not the easiest rubber to use. It demands good technique and force. If tpu like to play passive shots this is not for you. If you thinking on a replacement for the Hurricane, I would say it is a heavily tuned hurricane with 85% of its tackines gone.
