Combination of Hurricane 3 National blue sponge and Stiga Airoc S.
First impression: a lot of speed (same level as donic carbospeed) and little feeling when playing. Putting the ball on the table wasn’t a problem with this setup, despite having to adjust the moves. The spin generated with Hurricane 3 was second to none, and the spin with Airoc was good. Both provided easy blocking and flat attacks.
The only negative point was the short game. It was very difficult to keep the ball low and short, especially with Airoc. I imagine I will have this problem with any bouncy sponge. Drop shots were also very difficult.
Blade Review
I tested this blade with a DHS H3N 41 deg (FH) and Andro Rasanter R37 2.0 mm (BH). It felt slightly too fast for me compared to the Yinhe V-14 PRO and DHS Power G5X, which I tested simultaneously.
The blade head is relatively thick, reminiscent of the Yinhe T2s. However, I find the T1s more enjoyable. Looping with the H3N was commendable.
However, backhand play with the R37 was less satisfactory. The ball bounced too quickly, impairing control. Using a thinner sponge might potentially improve this.
The blade has a hollow and rigid feel during gameplay. It can be slightly bouncy in short play, but overall, it’s a solid blade. Forehand looping is particularly impressive, enhancing the speed of my H3N.

Update
I switched to an Andro Hexer Grip 1.7 mm (BH), which I find much more agreeable. I plan to continue using this setup. The H3N with this blade provides an exceptional feel, offering the desired speed and control.
Clone of Schlager Carbon. Violent. Today, I broke a new Joola seamless ball.
