DHS Hurricane 3 Neo 38' Wang Chuqin BH red

This table tennis rubber, designated “Hurricane 3 Neo 38’ Wang Chuqin BH red,” is an inverted rubber designed for backhand use, likely optimized for a modern offensive playing style. Given the “Hurricane 3 Neo” designation, it’s almost certainly a Chinese-style sticky rubber, meaning it excels at generating heavy spin on serves, pushes, and loops. The “38’” likely refers to the sponge hardness, indicating a relatively soft sponge. This softer sponge allows for greater dwell time, enhancing control and spin generation, particularly on slower, spin-oriented shots. The “Wang Chuqin BH red” suggests this rubber is either endorsed by or designed to emulate the backhand rubber preferences of the professional player Wang Chuqin, implying a focus on spin-driven attacks and controlled blocking.

Due to the sticky topsheet and softer sponge, this rubber likely offers excellent control and spin potential, making it suitable for players who prioritize spin variation and placement over raw speed. The “Neo” designation typically indicates a pre-tuned rubber, meaning it comes with a factory-applied booster that enhances its elasticity and speed. This pre-tuning helps to overcome the inherent slowness often associated with sticky Chinese rubbers. Players who benefit most from this rubber are those who employ a close-to-the-table, spin-oriented backhand game, focusing on opening loops, short pushes, and controlled blocking. It’s an excellent choice for players transitioning to Chinese-style rubbers or those who prefer a softer feel and enhanced control without sacrificing spin potential.
