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.

Although I had to change my stroke, the control and spin provided by this rubber are well worth it.

A versatile rubber in 2.2mm, designed for the Chinese style forehand drive and loop. I found an online comment regarding the throw angle particularly helpful, and I would like to share that insight here (thank you to the original commenter) so that others may benefit as well.

This rubber features a horizontal drive mode, where the throw is low, allowing the ball to zip across just over the net. Additionally, there is a more vertical brush mode that lets you create a high arc with lots of spin. Within these two parameters, I can generate numerous variations.

However, being passive with this rubber can lead to disaster! Play decisively, and you will reap the rewards.

I enjoy using it on nearly every shot. Initially, it took me some time to adjust to the throwing angle. I believe it has a higher throw than most Chinese rubbers, which required some getting used to. However, I now appreciate every shot!
