DHS Hurricane 3 Neo 37 Soft

The Hurricane 3 Neo 37 Soft is an inverted (smooth) table tennis rubber designed for players seeking a balance of spin, control, and a softer feel. This rubber is likely a Chinese-style rubber, meaning it’s engineered for generating heavy topspin and excelling in close-to-the-table play. While the brand is unknown, the “Hurricane 3” designation strongly suggests a design inspired by, or a clone of, the popular DHS Hurricane 3. The “Neo” indicates a pre-tuned or factory-tuned rubber, meaning it likely comes with a booster applied to enhance its performance right out of the package. The “37 Soft” denotes the sponge hardness, indicating a softer sponge compared to the standard Hurricane 3, offering increased dwell time and enhanced control, particularly on slower shots and blocks.

This rubber is best suited for players who prioritize spin generation and precise ball placement. The softer sponge allows for greater control on serves, pushes, and short game, while still providing ample power for looping and driving. Its tacky topsheet grips the ball exceptionally well, enabling players to generate heavy topspin on serves and loops. The “Neo” tuning likely provides a lively feel and increased speed compared to a non-tuned Hurricane 3, making it a versatile option for players who want a rubber that can handle both offensive and defensive play. It’s particularly well-suited for players who favor a close-to-the-table game with a focus on spin variation and controlled attacks.
