No need to boost, use right away. Blocking, serve receiving is good. It is a backhand rubber

I boosted it with 5 layers of dandoy bio booster, first put it on darker esteem and it was WAY too fast. Then i put it on nittaku septear it was just the right fast.
Very tacky, loses the capability to pick up the ball up pretty fast but it doesn't lose it's playing charasterics though. Very spinny, mine is also damn fast now but the control is amazing with hinoki. It has a bit higher throw angle compared to h3neo, speed and spin pretty similar, h8 has more control and is more predictable.
Very good serves, pushes and opening loops. Works fine close to the table and mid distance. Blocks are good. Insane amount of spin on powerloops. Insane amount of spin on slow and spinny loops.
I haven't played unboosted H8H so this review is for a boosted one. It has been 4 months from the boost, so the booster should've lost it's potency 2 months ago but it hasn't lost any of it's potency, still feels exactly the same as if it was just boosted so I guess the effect was permanent or lasts until I unglue it. Would recommend to hinoki users, with less if any boost for 1ply or carbon.

I love this rubber on my forehand, it's very tacky with gets the ball low over the net, and I did struggle with adjusting to this rubber from previously using energy 05 on my forehand, but the struggle was worth it! I now see why so many Chinese professionals use this rubber, or a variant, super happy with out of the box results and much cheaper that tenergy :)
When I removed the protective sheet from its packaging its bounce 2 - 3 times on the rubber but after 15 its tackiness fade away and its speed increase and unleash its true nature, excelent for loop, drive, serve, push, counter, and block, chops not good. In short game is excelent because of its tackiness plays a big role, it keeps the ball low over the net. and excelent for looping from close to away from the table. I would rate this 9/10. very good choice for looper who prefer a chinese rubber.

The best Chinese rubber I have tested so far, if you have a good drive technique, you are a god with this rubber. Very recommended and easy to adapt. Something negative a bit heavy but with a light blade it works, and also its stickiness doesn't last long

This is not a typical Chinese tacky rubber. One thing I noticed early on is that the tackiness fades away pretty quickly, compared to regular Hurricane 3 (H3). But I think this is intentional. Even though the sponge is very hard, 41 degrees on DHS scale, which converts to approximately 51 degrees for Euro/Japanese rubbers scale, but it feels softer than regular H3. I can noticeably feel the ball dig into the rubber more easily and dwell longer on H8 than H3. Maybe it's because H8 has a thinner, more elastic topsheet. So H8 generates spin by being grippy, rather than being tacky. This allows for more control, which I like.
After a couple of weeks of play, I would say H8 is slightly tacky, whereas H3 would still be very tacky. Overall, I would say H8 is more forgiving and has more catapult effect than H3. In terms of service and touch shots, it's not as spinny as H3, because it's not as tacky. But you get more speed and control in topspin to topspin rallies.
To me, both H8 and H3 are great rubbers. I like playing with both. Each as its strengths and weaknesses, depends on what you value the most in your rubbers. Overall, I would rate H8 as 9 out 10.

Before you buy this, be warned. Unless you are used to playing with Chinese rubbers, this rubber will feel dead or too hard for you. However if you are used to playing with harder chinese rubbers(ie. straight arm, brushing the ball), then this rubber should suit you alot more.
Having been playing with the H3 Neo and the H3 Provincial, I can say that it is spinnier than the NEO and Provincial but only for a while. Speed is around the same as the commercial H3 Neo, couldn't feel a noticeable speed increase. It is the only rubber I've used in testing, that was able to hold the ball upside down for more than a few seconds, a testament to its extreme tackiness. H8 is definitely the TACKIEST, HEAVIEST, as well as the HARDEST rubber I've used thus far. Full body engagement needed to access the spin and speed of this rubber.
However, a big problem, and I mean a BIG ONE, is the durability. The first few sessions, the spin on this rubber was incredible, probably the best I've used, but this drastically declined within a month. Unlike the H3 NEO which I've been using for almost a year now, it still has the punch/catapult effect after months of use.
A big deal breaker, if you are like me and don't want to spend money to buy new rubbers after little over a month. IMO stick with the H3 NEO, unless you are willing to change rubbers frequently.

It is a very Good rubber if you can handle its hardness. Unless you are a pro, you should only use this on flexy, allwood blades. Might need booster to maximize its potential
YouTubing around, I came across the idea of combining soft/flexy blade (for control, feel, dwell time, and spin) with hard rubbers (for more control) on both sides and applying pressure on opponents shot after shot after shot. I took this idea to the extreme: This is the flexiest/softest-rated frame that I could find on tabletennisdb.com, and I paired it with DHS Hurricane 8 Hard (~40 degrees) on both sides.
I love the blade. The rubber is quite good too, and using it, I have been able to make leaps-and-bounds progress with my technique. Months later, when it is time to replace it, I would like to try a harder rubber.

I found the h8 medium was a bit slow so I get the hard and it seems a little faster but who knows. Had it for about 2 months and it still picks a ball up and holds it for an indefinite amount of time. So I rate it very tacky.
I put it on a viscaria. Very nice blade imo and with a tacky rubber very controlled shots. I used mxp on FH before on a all+ and it is very nice but not enough power. Still use mxp on viscaria as bh and the racket speed seems to just reduce dwell. Comparing these rubbers on FH I would say they play very similar. So how fast is h8 hard? A little slower than mxp. How spinny? A little more on the short, a little less on the long. How sensitive? H8 Less sensitive by a lot. Throw on mxp much higher so obv a good flick rubber if spin is your backhand.
Anyways, probably a good buy. I'm sticking with this setup as it feels balanced and I enjoy it more than my 13 other racket rubber combos
