DHS Hurricane 3 Neo Provincial 37'

The Hurricane 3 Neo Provincial 37’ is an inverted rubber designed for offensive table tennis players seeking a balance of spin, speed, and control, particularly when playing close to the table. This rubber is likely a variant of the popular DHS Hurricane 3 Neo, but with a “Provincial” designation, suggesting it’s a higher quality version often reserved for professional or semi-professional players within China. The “37’” likely refers to the sponge hardness, indicating a relatively soft sponge that offers enhanced dwell time and control compared to harder sponges. This allows for easier generation of spin on serves, pushes, and loops.

The Hurricane 3 Neo Provincial is known for its exceptional spin capabilities, especially when paired with a good technique. The tacky topsheet grips the ball effectively, allowing players to impart heavy topspin and sidespin. While not the fastest rubber on the market, the Neo version incorporates a pre-boosted sponge that provides a noticeable increase in speed compared to the standard Hurricane 3. The softer sponge hardness of 37’ further contributes to control, making it easier to place shots accurately and handle incoming spin. This rubber is best suited for players who prioritize spin and control over outright speed and prefer a close-to-the-table attacking style, focusing on looping, pushing, and blocking with precision.
