DHS Hurricane 3 National 40'

The Hurricane 3 National 40’ is an inverted rubber designed for offensive players seeking a balance between spin, speed, and control. This rubber is known for its exceptional spin generation capabilities, allowing players to execute powerful loops and serves with heavy rotation. While not the fastest rubber on the market, it offers sufficient speed for aggressive play close to the table and mid-distance. The “National” designation typically indicates a higher quality version of the standard Hurricane 3, often with tighter tolerances and potentially a slightly tackier topsheet. The 40’ designation likely refers to the sponge hardness, indicating a medium-hard sponge that provides a good blend of power and dwell time for increased spin.

This rubber is particularly well-suited for players who prioritize spin-oriented play and rely on consistent looping and controlled blocking. The tackiness of the topsheet allows for excellent grip on the ball, enabling players to impart significant spin even on slower shots. While it can be used for blocking and short game, its strength lies in its ability to generate heavy topspin attacks. Players who prefer a more direct and linear feel might find this rubber slightly too tacky. Overall, the Hurricane 3 National 40’ is a solid choice for intermediate to advanced players looking for a spin-dominant rubber with a focus on control and consistency.
