DHS Hurricane 3 Neo Provincial (Orange Sponge)

Provincial H3 Neo 38 Degree Unboosted Rubber Review

This rubber is an excellent choice, outperforming its commercial counterpart. It is not only lighter and faster, but it also generates more spin. The throw angle is also superior on the Provincial H3 Neo.

However, this review is based on the experience of a player who uses the Chinese style loop or possesses advanced techniques. Players with excellent spin and sponging abilities will benefit the most from this rubber.

The review is for the unboosted Provincial H3 Neo 38 degree rubber. The reviewer eagerly anticipates boosting it, as they speculate that it could yield a significant improvement of up to 30 percent.

Boa borracha para todos os níveis, principalmente para ajudar no desenvolvimento do atleta.

Gira muito, mas é um pouco lenta. Tem um saque incrível e não é afetada pelo giro do adversário.

The sponge is more lively, which is suitable for full-body Chinese-style forehand loops. Serves can be short and spinny. Brush loops are also good. However, it is physically demanding to use it to its full potential.

Hello, can someone orient me for the weight of this rubber, the black one?.

Perfect FH rubber.

Top sheet is less tacky than the commercial version. The top sheet is also more lively and thinner compared to the commercial version. The sponge is a little bit different: you will notice that the Province has a firmer, livelier, brighter color of sponge that gives it a lot of gear. Meanwhile, the commercial sponge is more of a darker orange color and feels dead hard as a rock. The Province has a 2.2 thickness, while the commercial sponge has a 2.15 thickness. That’s why the Province can give more speed and power by a slight margin. The potential of spin is the same with the commercial version.

Very spinny, consistently. When you hit very hard, it is so fast. It must be broken up and then you don’t need to boost. But when you use Haifu Seamoon, it is even better. Great rubber for everyone!

This Chinese rubber is highly tacky, spinny, and hard. It can be used by anyone from beginners to professionals. It’s not too heavy. The tacky rubber combined with aggressive brush strokes can produce incredible spin on loops. Its lack of catapult or bounciness also excels for serving and pushes. However, its extreme grip can also make serve returns more challenging if you misinterpret the spin, as it is very spin sensitive.

Unboosted, it’s ideal for learning to loop with a flexible all-wood blade. When boosted with Haifu Seamoon (recommended), it becomes a formidable mid-distance looping tool that rivals Tenergy 05 at advanced and professional levels.

If you’re seeking a Chinese rubber to compare to Euro/Jap tensors, this is an excellent choice. I recommend pairing it with a softer and faster Euro rubber on the backhand side.

I have this rubber on my DHS racket. It is ideal for fast-paced offensive players. The incredible tackiness allows for substantial spin on serves and defensive shots.

I always recommend DHS rubbers and blades for aggressive players who also seek proficiency in looping shots.

Review:

The rubber excels in both speed and spin. Despite not being exceptionally fast during drives, it becomes rapid and spin-intensive when used for loops. It offers versatility and performs exceptionally well in short games. Compared to its commercial counterpart, it is considerably livelier and imparts slightly more spin (possibly due to additional tuning).

The reviewer has used both the provincial and commercial versions of the rubber on a YEO blade with excellent results. They recommend experimenting with a tacky Chinese rubber for the forehand (FH) position.

As everyone knows, Hurricane requires tuning (VOC-free glue+booster; FALCO is so far the best) and transforms completely after boosting. It boasts a top-notch touch or feeling. Its arc is incredibly low but can be controlled very easily. The speed is magnificent as well, accompanied by excellent spin. When initiating loops, it’s crucial to hit into the sponge rather than relying solely on the top sheet (not advisable anyways). However, the tacky top sheet allows for some margin of error. Overall, it’s an excellent rubber with a consistent sponge compared to domestic versions. My specifications: Black, 2.15mm thickness, and 40 degrees sponge hardness. Highly recommended.

This is the best rubber I have ever used. It works best when boosted with DianChi oil booster.

Very good forehand rubber.

I’ve used various versions of Hurricanes 3 NEO for at least the past four years. Initially, I used them on both FH and BH. However, after training with the Chinese National Team (B Team) and speaking with them in Mandarin, I learned a great deal about the diverse versions of H3N. It’s undoubtedly a FH rubber.

H3N is generally a harder rubber with a hardness ranging from 39 degrees to 41 degrees. Its suitability for FH stems from its ability to control power and generate more direct hits with varying speeds of top-spin, resulting in exemplary Chinese loops.

A substantial difference exists between the provincial edition and the domestic (sold in China only) or international edition. I find the provincial edition softer, offering increased control and spin. Currently, the provincial edition also includes a 38-degree sponge option, reaching as high as 41 degrees. I prefer the 38-degree version as it’s more forgiving than the 39-degree while maintaining excellent speed.

I distinctly recall the improvement I experienced when transitioning from a domestic H3N to a provincial H3N. With an average of three to four playing sessions per week, the provincial H3N lasted approximately three months in prime condition. After that period, its performance diminished to that of a regular H3N or older rubbers.

In my mind, it is the same rubber as regular H3 Neo with an orange sponge. Maybe if you are a significantly better player than I am, you may be able to discern the difference, but certainly not at my level.

I can easily distinguish between #19, #20, and blue neo sponges, but I cannot differentiate this one from regular orange neo.

Overall, it is a great rubber, but if you have to purchase rubbers like I do, I would not recommend this version over the regular one, which costs $20 less. The same applies to the national version of this rubber.

Enjoy table tennis and have fun!

Very spinny ~= to 05FX
Control > Sriver FX

Speed is the slowest among the above 2. But it has the same or better control as Sriver FX. It weighs a bit to make you exercise. But it’s OK for me.

Great rubber for those with Chinese looping techniques. However, it is not as forgiving as rubbers like the Tenergy series, meaning that users need to employ better techniques to maximize its effectiveness.

I have tried Neo H3 Provincial 41 degrees. Overall, it is good rubber, but it is not durable. After only two weeks, the topsheet separated from the sponge.

I’ve tried this, the commercial version and the Neo Skyline 3 over the last month as FH-rubbers on a Stiga Hybrid Wood penhold blade.

Faster, softer and lighter than the other two rubbers. Spin and tackiness about equal. Perhaps a little harder to control, but that’s just due to the added speed. You do need to pay attention to your technique and footwork to get the most out of it.

Contrary to some others I’ve found it easier to control closer to the table, but that’s probably down to differences in technique.

Overall very good indeed, I like the slightly softer and more lively feel, will be sticking with it for the foreseeable future.

This rubber performs exceptionally well, surpassing the commercial version by a significant margin.

I love this rubber. It is very tacky, and its speed is satisfying. It is true that you need good footwork to use this rubber effectively. Overall, it is good.

This rubber provides excellent control and devastating spin, making it a perfect combination when paired with the Yasaka Ma Lin Carbon blade.

I’m sorry, but your request is a bit unclear. Could you please rephrase it? I’m not sure what you want me to do with this text. Do you want me to improve the grammar and formatting, or do you want me to help you find a place to buy this product?

GREAT rubber!

Although not as fast as most tensors, if you have a Chinese technique, it’s great. You can rip out spin and maintain good control. It’s also quite a hard rubber.

This is a good rubber. I read some comments about it some time ago and someone wrote that it’s an “universal rubber”. I confirm that it really is. You can play whatever you want with it.

Comparing it to Skyline 2 TG2 Neo (my fh rubber), it disposes less speed and control (but both are still pretty good), but the spin is awesome. It has no obvious weak spots.

The only problem is maybe the weight of the rubber because I feel now like my bat weighs a ton. You need to get used to it (especially when using it on both sides).

EDIT May 28-2011: I had an accident which damaged my Skyline 2 TG2 Neo, so I was forced to use this as my fh rubber and use some of my older rubbers on my backhand. After that, I can say Skyline TG2 Neo generates more spin and provides top spins more easily. I’ve reduced my spin rating for it from 9.5 to 9.0. It is a spinny rubber, but Skyline 2 TG2 Neo gives it more.

Great rubber if you have the technique (Chinese style). It offers great control and amazing spin. The speed is good, but the downside is that it’s a bit hard.

When you play with real Hurricane 3 Neo, it’s pretty pleasing. It doesn’t have as high control as regular Hurricane 3 but it’s faster. It’s a little better for flat hitting and smashing underspin due to less tack and more speed. Surprisingly, it has controlled blocks against big loops. It’s very good for mid distance counters/topspins.

Hurricane 3 Neo definitely has a longer arc than regular H3, which can lead to some long balls unless you produce topspin. It’s very sensitive to technique and can produce both wanted and unwanted spin variation in a rally. Looping with sponge gives your opponent a very different ball than looping with topsheet.

It offers a good combination of speed, spin, and control, but it might be a bit too hard for some players.

In general, long pushes are not very effective with this rubber. Close-to-table looping is okay, but it requires some skill to execute properly. However, mid-distance looping is superb, as it provides ample power and spin to return the ball effectively. I found it to be excellent during mid-distance rallies, but I struggled to play consistently near the table.

Although this rubber is designed for a broad range of players, it truly shines when hit hard, providing optimal power and strength. I was pleasantly surprised by its performance.

ÐÂ Rubber Review

ÐÂ is a powerful and spinny rubber ideal for fast first attacks and counterlooping. However, it requires fast footwork and power to use effectively. While it may not excel at punch-through loop drives with deep sponge penetration like other Chinese rubbers (Whale 2 is particularly strong in this area), it performs well at grazing shots. The rubber generates abundant spin but takes some time to break in or may require boosters to improve its initial slow and hard behavior.

This rubber is amazing. It is great for over the table looping with tons of spin and kick. Off the table top spin driving and driving is controlled and powerful. In my opinion, it is a major improvement over the commercial version with a lot more speed too.

Excellent rubber; it’s obvious why it is so heavily used at the pro levels. It’s up to you to get the most out of this rubber. The orange sponge is more forgiving than the blue IMO. This rubber requires you to work. I think it is a good spot for transition from a euro rubber into proper, tacky Chinese hard rubbers. Give it a fast blade and actually hit the ball instead of relying on the catapult of the sponges; you will take your game to the next level. If you want the sponge to do all the work for you, then stick to your euro rubbers. I see people think it is slow, but this is more of a reflection of the user than the rubber.
