The rubber is nice, but unfortunately, mine had a very poor glue job. The rubber peels off the sponge with ease.

I found the H3 Neo to be too stiff and hard for my forehand, especially for brush loops, flicks, or any other hits that require touch. This rubber, however, is a solution; it is much softer in comparison, has a slightly higher throw, and the tack is very nice. I believe it has the same top-sheet as the Neo.

The sponge feels softer and more European, making it much more controllable. The only thing I miss is the low arc of the H3 Neo’s topspin. Nevertheless, this rubber has the same great speed as Hurricane 3 Neo, and at high speed, the loud splash sound indicates that you have just hit a higher speed level. It truly is a great rubber.

Update: The throw is actually lower than that of the H3 Neo, making it a very nice medium rubber.

Furthermore, I don’t think it is as good as the new tensors. I consider it to be the best non-tensor forehand sponge for a recreational player. However, if you want to upgrade your game, I would recommend trying a tensor.

This rubber feels similar to DHS TG3, but the tackiness lasts longer.
