Good Chinese Rubber

This rubber is recommended for players who prefer spin over raw speed. It pairs well with looping blades like the DHS PG7.

#2March 2023

This rubber was a component of my first customized racket. I used the DHS PG7 blade with this black rubber on the forehand and red Yinhe Moon rubber on the backhand (similar to a Chinese setup).

Initially, this rubber provided excellent speed, but after 1-2 months of use, the speed decreased. However, the control improved significantly, and the spin remained relatively consistent. It is important to clean the rubber after each playing session to maintain its performance.

During the pre-polyball era, this rubber exhibited exceptional spin capabilities and contributed significantly to my game.

This is my second Hurricane3 rubber, and my first Neo. I love it. I am happy with the jumping feeling.

#4November 2022

Everything has already been written about this rubber, but I would like to point out one thing, which I noticed recently. DHS makes different quality rubber for the eastern and western markets.

Specifically, so far, I have bought 3 rubbers from Germany (during the last 3 years) and one from Bulgaria (2 weeks ago). All 3 from Germany look exactly the same, but this one from Bulgaria has a shinier topsheet, a shade darker sponge, is less tacky, the picture on the package is more blurry, and plays worse with it.

At first, I thought it was a fake, but then I saw that the dealer is a representative for DHS for Bulgaria and apparently gets original rubbers, but which are not of the same quality as those bought in Germany.

I wonder if others have noticed this too?

DHS Hurricane 3 Neo 40° 2.15mm is an affordable rubber that is easy to get dirty.

It is good enough when paired with a fast blade like Xiom Strato Off+.

#6August 2022

Out of the package, this rubber seems very slow. The ball sticks to the topsheet, and you’ll need to adjust your stroke accordingly. The sponge feels dead, flat, and non-reactive.

After a few more sessions and adding some baby oil, the sponge starts to engage the ball more. The speed improves slightly, and the tackiness decreases.

I’m not a big fan of this rubber because I prefer something more bouncy. However, if you can create your own power, it would likely play well for you. The longer you play with it, the more you’ll appreciate it.

I believe this rubber would perform best on a very fast blade, such as the Viscaria or above. This should offset its slow speed and allow you to generate decent pace.

Boosting this rubber significantly improves its performance.

#7June 2022

The topsheet is tacky, thick, and has low pips. This makes for better spin on touch shots (serve, push), and loads spin again best in high power shots. I like other rubber better to flick, but I will try. I think there is a learning curve.

I got a 37-degree sponge, black thick topsheet, non-porous topsheet, shiny and flat. It’s surprisingly medium-soft sponge does not feel so soft under this top, but it makes it slow. I think it’s probably the hardness intended for backhand and should go on a faster blade.

Ten cuidado con TableTennis11. Solo les interesa ganar tu dinero. Si el producto no llega, no es su problema.

#9May 2022

Pretty good tacky forehand rubber for a great price. It is good for serving, blocking, and topspin.

#10November 2021

After 15 years of intense table tennis playing, I’ve found myself returning to Hurricane 3 rubber. I utilize black Commercial 2.15mm 41 degrees on my forehand and Commercial Red 2.15mm 37 degrees on my backhand.

Hurricane 3 is arguably the finest table tennis rubber ever created, as evidenced by Ma Long, the living legend who employs it on both his forehand and backhand. By visualizing yourself as Ma Long, you can channel his exceptional abilities with every shot you execute.

Not only is Neo Hurricane 3 highly effective, but it’s also budget-friendly, costing approximately $20 per sheet. To maximize its performance, pair it with a swift carbon blade. Remember, table tennis demands effort and dedication. Embrace the challenge, persevere, and enjoy the process. Neo Hurricane 3 is the ultimate rubber solution, and don’t forget to boost it for enhanced performance.

H3 Neo

A H3 Neo é uma excelente borracha. Posso confirmar e concordar com a grande maioria das avaliações positivas.

Minha Experiência

Uso a borracha de 41 graus em ambos os lados da raquete. Ela é ótima para trabalhar os fundamentos do tênis de mesa, e é sempre bom saber que o controle está em suas mãos.

Para Amadoras e Amadoras

Para nós, amadoras e amadores, é uma ótima borracha com um preço acessível.

Conclusão

Tenho a oportunidade de usar borrachas alemãs com tranquilidade em termos financeiros. No entanto, costumo dar preferência às borrachas chinesas, como a H3 Neo e a H3, que são excelentes para o nível amador.

#12November 2021

Amazing backhand rubber, in my opinion, for creating controlled loops with heavy spin, but not very fast. Also a great forehand loop, and is amazing at looping underspin.

#13October 2021

Updated! … from 2020.

Facts:

  • 37 degree sponge, 2.15 mm thick.
  • Weight, orig. packed (shrink-wrapped!) 76 g., uncut with film 60 g., net 56 g.
  • On my OFF + blade (156 x 150 mm) 44 grams.

Usually, I did not want to write a review about this rubber because my disappointment with it was very big and does not at all agree with the opinions of other users. I will never understand why sticky DHS rubbers supposedly generate more spin than non-sticky ones! - even if the stickiness of the rubber logically creates a greater rotation with slow striking movements. I believe that these rubbers only develop their full potential with the help of tuners.

Recently, however, I bought a Stuor blade called the “Nobilis ZLC Hinoki”. (- Report on this under “no brand” !!!) As has recently been known, Hinoki is supposed to improve the rotation level of rubbers as an outer veneer. … which is obviously true. ( - Thank God !)

My experiences were not comparable to the current one. The low speed and the low catapult had surprised me, the poor spin development (regardless of whether Koto with ALC or SZLC blades or solid wood) was completely disappointing. - I even asked myself, “did I catch a FAKE?” I only liked the throwing angle, as it is pleasantly high. Despite everything, I think this rubber is completely overrated!

Conclusion:

  • If this rubber had more speed and catapult, it would also be recommended for the university of applied sciences, but at best it is recommended for the bra.
  • However, I am sure that if you use booster, you will be happy with it at your FH too!

Ultimate recommendation: it is essential to use a blade with Hinoki outer veneers, such as the “Stuor Nobilis ZLC Hinoki” !!! (- … this increases the spin rating by about 0.4 points.).

#14August 2021

Hard rubbers are recommended for players with strong arms, as they can be difficult to control. For example, using H3 Neo on an ALC blade can make it challenging to place the ball accurately in the deep corners of the table.

While hard rubbers offer good spin, they often have lower speed. To improve speed, it is often necessary to boost the rubber with a chemical solution.

#15July 2021

After trying three 39-degree, 2.15mm H3Ns on four different blades, I feel this rubber is not for me. The tackiness wears down quickly, and the factory-tuned sponge hardened after two weeks. I tried boosting them, but it only brought back part of its original performance.

Despite its drawbacks, it is good for training since it is relatively inexpensive. Close to the table plays are also good.

#16June 2021

Hardness

Nowadays H3N can be found in hardness 38, 39, 40, and 41. I strongly suggest 39. 39 is still very hard. 40 is rock hard and will be slower, or needs 3 layers of booster. Also, 40 won’t pair with a hard blade such as Viscaria. 39 pairs very well with it. 38 is ok for backhand or even for forehand if you don’t boost. 41 is useless unless you are a pro and boost with 3-4 layers.

First and Second Loops

First loop is very easy and very spinny, second loop is very hard, likely to go off the table. Suitable for mid-distance players. The throw is too high for close to table players. So if this happens to you, (first loop ok but second loop off the table), try Hurricane 8 or tg2 neo, or even H2 neo.

Short Receive

Short receive is excellent, but this is true of all rubbers: H3, Tg2, Tg3, H2, H8.

Throw Angles

Let me summarize the throw angles (= arcs) of these rubbers:

H2N: very low
tg2N: low. (almost exactly like 729 superfx, or 729 bloom power)
H8: medium-low
TG3N: medium
H3N: very high

So now you can choose the arc you need.

Blade Comparison

Close to table, advanced => H2
Close to table, intermediate: H8 or Tg2
Close to table, beginner: Tg3
Mid distance, advanced: Tg3
Mid distance: H3

Boosting

H3N needs at least one layer of booster or you will injure your shoulder. Baby oil also works. This is true of all DHS rubbers including H8.

Backhand Play

On the backhand: the 38 version is very good for flip (you lift everything) and for opening loop (incredibly spinny), but if they block to your bh, the throw will be so high you are likely to shoot the next shot off the table. So, for bh I suggest a much lower throw (tg2N for example, or even H2N).

#17May 2021

I am using this rubber on the backhand in 39 degrees. It is very tacky with a nice arc. The control is amazing when blocking and attacking, but it requires more effort than European rubbers. This is a good rubber for strong players. It starts slowly, but once you get used to it, it gets faster.

#18January 2021

The perfect rubber for my Chinese-style backhand, providing excellent spin and rotation for attacking shots. However, I still needed to fine-tune it to my liking. Once adjusted, it performed flawlessly for various techniques, including blocking, serving, short play, spinning, and speed.

For my forehand, I prefer a hardness of 39 or 40. For the backhand, a hardness of 38 or 37 is more suitable. If you use a harder rubber, consider applying more oil to enhance its performance.

Remember to use the red sheet for your backhand and the black sheet for your forehand when attaching the rubber to your paddle.

#19November 2020

With booster, it’s the best forehand rubber you can play. Fitness is required.

#20October 2020

Excellent rubber, one of the best on the market for skilled players.

Attention: For skilled players only. If you do not have proper strokes, do not even bother trying this rubber. It requires a full and fast swing, with the correct bat angle to perform at its best.

However, when one is able to master this technique, beware! The ball hits the table like a missile, leaving opponents only watching it. It is not my favorite rubber because it demands so much physical effort. I cannot play at my peak during the entire match.

But if you are a super fit player with optimized technique, I would highly recommend this rubber; it is a great offensive weapon.

#21September 2020

Been using DHS H3 Neo on both FH and BH paired with a sanwei F3 Innerlayer ALC blade.

The control is good. The feel is great. Soft touch is soft and spinny and hard hits are very fast. It has good throw as everything you hit goes fast and manages to fall within the table.

Very tacky compared to European rubbers, the harder you hit the better the shots go. Goes well with faster blades that allow the ball to sink in a bit, preferably an innerlayer ALC blade.

Also tried it out with defensive blades: the slow shots, pushes, and blocks were perfect, but the loops and smashes off a defensive blade were difficult to get a hold on and control as the tackiness and the compounded rebound goes well with harder and slightly firmer blades and not softer defensive ones.

#22July 2020

Super offensive rubber with great speed and spin. It works well with both all-round and offensive blades.

I have tried red and black, 2.15mm and 2.20mm, H38, H39, H40 and H41 sponge. Testing has been made on different blades, but for me, brush looping and often hitting the ball further back and then from a lower place, the 2.15mm H39 worked best.

I need to put as much power as possible in my strikes and still get the arc that puts the ball on the table, that’s why a thinner and softer sponge is better for me. I’m waiting for a couple of H37 and H38 for testing now. This rubber is lethal when used right.

Weight cut:
2.15mm H40: 53g
2.2mm H39: 50g
2.15mm H39: 47g
2.1mm H38: 49g
2.15mm, H41: 49g

#23July 2020

This rubber is factory tuned. It plays very well and fast for the first two weeks. However, after that, this rubber is dead and needs to be boosted.

You have to swing big to activate this rubber. If you can play like a Chinese player, this is a deadly weapon!!!

Spin is awesome, even more than Tenergy 05. HN3 rubber is not very spin sensitive.

Short play and service with Hurricane Neo3 are a dream. Block is okay and can absorb the power of the opponent thanks to the tackiness. Kill loop is also very easy.

If you play with HN3, you must always be active. This rubber is not forgiving, which means that good footwork is a must. Otherwise, the ball will land every time in the net.

#24June 2020

A very good sticky rubber, it is excellent to generate effect and a lot of rotation. It is somewhat slow but with the right Madero, you can make a lot of potential. I used the Yasaka Max 3D Charcoal, it was a perfect combination. If you clean it regularly you can make it last a long time. It has an excellent price to profit ratio.

#25March 2020

The rubber provides amazing spin, making it a good choice for players looking for control and precision.
Despite its hard sponge, the rubber offers a low speed, allowing for a more controlled playstyle.
The durability of the rubber is also very good, ensuring that it will last for a long time.

#26March 2020

I think my topsheet for H3N isn’t as tacky as it should be. However, untuned, this rubber is pretty decent. It offers good speed and spin.

When tuned, the sponge becomes softer, resulting in a catapult effect. Tuning the rubber enhances its performance significantly.

#27February 2020

A rubber with the expected tackiness you would find in the Chinese category. Once you cut it and put it in your racket, you would find this rubber slow and with no control, but it gets more elastic once you start using it constantly. It is important to indicate that you would need to adjust your technique to this rubber because it is not as forgiving as other rubbers. Overall, if you are looking for a Chinese setup and you already know the tacky rubber technique, then this rubber could fit you.

I am using the neo version. I recommend buying this or any other Chinese tacky rubber before upgrading to the blue sponge or boosting it.

#28February 2020

Great Chinese rubber, very tacky, offers great spin capabilities, and allows for easy countering of enemy rotation.

Suitable for all types of play, it performs best for close-to-table and medium-distance gameplay. Additionally, it enables effective chopping with proper adjustments. With a weight of under 50 grams when cut, it is lightweight on the blade.

However, the rubber’s biggest disadvantage lies in its instability when driving against high balls. Executing a safe shot requires imparting some spin into the smash to avoid hitting the net or sending the ball over the table.

#29January 2020

Great tacky offensive rubber. Provides high spin and excellent control. Suitable for players of all skill levels. Highly recommended.

#30January 2020

Contrôle: Correct
Vitesse: Bonne mais pas exceptionnelle
Topspin: Nécessite un travail physique pour générer de la puissance du bras

Hurricane 3 New Review

This review covers the unboosted 41-degree hardness, 2.2 mm thick black Hurricane 3 New (H3N) rubber for forehand use.

As a USATT 1750 player, I began using the H3N when I was 1100 with a 40-degree hardness and 2.15 mm thickness on both forehand and backhand sides. However, I felt the rubber was too slow and experimented with various other options, including 729 FX, Palio Red and Yellow, Mercury 2, Rasanter 42, and Rakza 7 over the past three years.

After training, I decided to return to the H3N on a TB ALC blade. Using this combination for over two months has significantly improved the consistency and spin of my forehand loops. Perhaps because I began playing table tennis with the H3N, it feels most comfortable on my forehand. The TB ALC blade is an excellent complement to the H3N.

While there is little margin for error, this forces you to play accurate strokes consistently. Tacky rubber like the H3N enhances serves and pushes. With practice, you can even return long pushes short. It rewards the effort you put in.

Before using this rubber in tournaments, I recommend practicing for at least 3-4 months. Otherwise, the perceived “slowness” or lack of proper forehand technique may lead to frustration.

#32January 2020

The rubber is a good choice for beginners. It is affordable, durable, and perfect for developing your playing style. I have paired it on Yinhe Ns8 as forehand and ak47 red on backhand and found it to be a great combination.

#33January 2020

Blade: Andro CSV OFF+

Forehand (FH)

  • Hurricane 3 Neo 39 Degree 2.15mm
  • This rubber offers exceptional durability, lasting over a year of play while maintaining its catapult effect. It provides a great balance of spin and speed, excelling at generating spin with proper technique.

Backhand (BH)

Rankings

#34September 2019

Use it on a carbon basic blade, which has more control rather than speed. Then it will be identical.

#35July 2019

So, I don’t have much funds to test multiple samples, so I’m going to write my very first and last impression since, at this moment, I’ve played only one single time.

In my case, when you put the film off before playing, there are some strange spots after it. Okay, they get away after a few hours of playing and constant breathing on the rubber.

As I could expect, tackiness was not as good as I’d like. However, the general impression on this rubber in pair with a nice light Palio CAT blade is just great! It’s pretty linear, not that speedy, which means amazing control! And it’s pretty light, of course. The red one is not much different from the black one in terms of tackiness. I don’t know why everyone usually complains about the speed of this rubber. Speed is usually a lot easier to generate than spin. This rubber is good for me! I don’t know about national and provincial versions, but I don’t even want to since I’m okay with this one. A nice linear set with the emphasis on spin. Just amazing!

UPD: It seems like it’s oversensitive to temperature. It behaves strangely if not brushing constantly with your palm when cold and always condensates.
UPD2: Okay, it doesn’t condensate as much as I thought, but that’s my sweat. Too much breathing on it inhibits its tackiness, and you have no other way but to go and clean it up. It never happened to grippy rubbers. After playing with it for almost a year, the tackiness is still there, but not every ball tacks to it. That’s kind of weird. Although I noticed that glossy balls tack better, and most of the balls become glossy after playing with them for some time. At least here, some win.

#36June 2019

A really great rubber for intermediate and league players. It is VERY tacky, so you can produce a lot of spin, especially on forehand loops and spinny serves. On backhand shots, I find it is a little slower, but you get great control.

HN3 is fast, however, there are definitely faster (more expensive) rubbers out there. I agree with the Gears rating, as you can play very short, slow serves and chops easily, but you can open up with rapid loops as well. Overall, I believe speed and control are brilliant, but spin outperforms both.

#37May 2019

This is the first DHS rubber I have ever tried, and it blew me away. At first, getting shots on the table felt strange, and the rubber felt much too slow. I hated the rubber until I started playing more loops and spinny shots. Once I started looping with the rubber, it felt like a completely different rubber. Every shot I made, even if I made a mistake, would drop onto the table. I would highly recommend this rubber.

#38May 2019

Tremendous amount of spin for a Chinese rubber.
The sponge is dead hard as rock if unboosted.
The topsheet is so-so.
Control is good.
It’s just tacky.
The provincial version is way better than the commercial one.

#39May 2019

Dead cheap when compared to BTY rubbers. However, it demands very high physical strength.

The shots don’t get out of the table, hence a very high safety margin. But if you don’t put in the effort, the ball will only be in your court.

Mark V + Higher spin + Greater effort - light less control = DHS NEO Hurricane.

#40April 2019

I use 21.15 on my forehand and Friendship 729 Super FX 2 mm on my backhand with a Stiga All Round Legend frame.

Very nice classic combination.

#41March 2019

To the people writing it is slow, they must have the wrong technique. If you swing fast, you hit fast. If you swing slow, you hit slow.

For spinning, it’s a fantastic rubber, but I can also easily push, block, or smash. I always played with tensors, but this is much better for me. Absolutely love it. Raw input is raw output. You can pretty much do everything with this rubber.

#42March 2019

Good attacking rubber for a medium hard blade. Requires more brush and movement to create a great arc. It is quite bouncy when blocking, so we need to play with a descent angle. Overall, it is a consistent attacking rubber with good speed, descent spin, and adequate control.

#43December 2018

Beautiful rubber, easy to lift backspin, high spin, very aggressive short services, quite control.

Heavy, hard even with black and tuned 39 degrees, slow, works better in soft but fast blades, demands too much energy and physical preparation. If you want to generate power, you must be very strong; otherwise, it is not recommended for you.

Very difficult to use; there are better Chinese rubbers for FH, such as Big Dipper, 729 Battle 2, and Gold Arc 5.

#44December 2018

Great spin, but feels inconsistent.

#45October 2018

This is such a great FH rubber. It is fast, spiny, and has good control. However, if you want to maximize the potential of this rubber, you will need to take the time to copy the Chinese player stroke.

Update: After playing for several months, I have corrected the throw angle, tackiness, speed, spin, and control. Overall, this rubber is absolutely for topspin players. Brush the ball all the way :D but don’t forget to clean it up, otherwise, this rubber will underperform. Some players love to boost this rubber. I will try to boost this rubber and will update soon.

#46October 2018

Review

Modern Chinese rubber designed for variable attackers. It excels in continuous loop from mid-distance with varying arc due to high-throw topsheet and low-throw sponge. Capable of executing various shots, it spins well on most, but is best suited for power loops.

However, control is lacking. It is challenging to determine the optimal swinging speed and topsheet to sponge engagement ratio when performing the desired stroke. Consequently, I find it neither intuitive nor easily adaptable.

Pairing it with at least medium-stiff and medium-hard blades is recommended to mitigate the lack of control.

Edit

The rubber’s performance is significantly enhanced on a medium-hard stiff blade. The high-throw nature of the rubber compensates for the low-throw of the blade, resulting in improved control that is now intuitive. With a boosted 39-degree hardness, this rubber becomes highly suitable for my playing style.

#47September 2018

I am an intermediate player over 40. When I first used this rubber, I thought I had made a mistake or had been given a fake. However, after playing with it for 3-4 hours, I realized that if you hit softly, it feels like a dead rubber. But if you put some real brute power into it, the speed and sound are awesome. I initially thought it was good for Chinese-style loops, but I think what it means is that if you hit with a lot of power, the rubber grips and wakes up the sponge. I now love this rubber. It’s so cheap. You must try this rubber if you hit powerfully on the forehand.

Update: Amazing rubber, great control. Slow hits are slow, and fast hits are super fast with a magical click/tok sound.

Update: 19 January 2018 - After a year of intermittent use, I have gotten better and now play with better players who have amazing spinny loops that are hard to block or counter loop. This is where I find this rubber magical; I can counter loop very spinny loops of my opponents and win most of the time.

Update: 9 September 2018 - I love this rubber even more now. I am using it on my backhand (surprisingly) and it works so well. I have worked on my backhand, and the speed is very good.

#48September 2018

Chinese rubbers are often accused of being too slow. However, the H3Neo has that extra power in it to overcome this issue. It is very slow in the short game, requiring some effort and attention to detail. At the same time, it allows you to take the initiative early by attacking short balls, placing your shots with tremendous accuracy and creating very awkward situations for your opponents.

The harder you hit the ball, the faster the rubber becomes as the sponge gets activated. The increase in speed is linear and the behavior consistent. Spin is very good with this rubber.

The disadvantages of this rubber are that it is sensitive to incoming spin and that it requires physical effort to generate speed. It is a great combination with slightly flexible blades and is a versatile rubber that suits many styles of play, attacking and defending alike. After a year, the sponge is much softer, and even though it is less spiny, I like it more.

#49May 2018

Most efficient forehand rubber, which is cheap and effective. The grip is excellent, while the speed is okay. Its tackiness can be used in light loop and initial opening. In fast counter loops, the speed produced is still excellent.

#50April 2018

I usually play with regular Hurricane 3, but decided to try the neo version because many people say it’s better than regular H3. In my humble opinion, there are no significant differences between H3 neo and regular H3. There are a few differences, but they are not instantly noticeable.

As the manufacturer claims, H3 neo has a softer sponge with more catapult effect, which should increase speed and control. However, the tacky topsheet kind of nullifies the catapult effect, so the improvement on speed is only marginal. The softer/elastic sponge and tacky topsheet allow for longer dwell time and better control than regular H3. Finally, H3 neo also has a slightly higher throw angle than H3. Again, this is due to the more elastic and more dynamic nature of the neo sponge. Better control and a slightly higher throw angle are the reasons why most people agree that H3 neo is easier to play with than regular H3.

Overall, this is a very good rubber if you like tacky Chinese rubber. I would rate this rubber 9 out of 10. If you tried H3 and think it’s too hard to control, H3 neo might be better for you. But since I’m already used to H3, I have no reason to switch to H3 neo, given that both rubbers have almost identical speed and spin. I kind of prefer the lower throw angle of H3 anyway.

#51April 2018

First, I’m disappointed at the speed. It’s slow, I thought it was an off+ rubber, or it’s something between off- and off.

Another problem is the control when you’re just a bit late on the ball, this rubber doesn’t forgive the errors.

But it’s amazing for doing heavy and deep topspins, because of the high throw angle and the spinny topsheet.

And surprisingly the hits without any spin are very easy! Better if boosted.

#52March 2018

I bought this rubber to use it in my back hand and WOW, no words can describe it… After a while, I switched it to FH…

And I give it 3 STARS (Max Speed… Spin… Control) what a combination…

#53December 2017

A high spin rubber that still delivers good, controllable speed. It may be a bit hard on a hard blade, but it is excellent for softer, ALL or DEF blades. I think it’s better on all wood blades rather than carbon blades as the sponge/rubbers require the forgiveness provided by all wood. I preferred this rubber on a light, balsa core blade as it helps offset the weight and hardness of the rubber.

The speed is very linear, so it’s highly predictable and controllable. I did find it rather sensitive to incoming spin, but the flip side is that it generates very spinny serves itself.

Overall, it’s a great intermediate to advanced rubber on a budget.

Review Karet Tenis Meja

Saya mencoba versi komersial dengan ketebalan 2,2 mm berwarna oranye. Kesan pertama saya adalah Karet ini sangat ringan.

Kelebihan:

  • Topspin yang dihasilkan sangat mantap (nilai 9)
  • Kontrol yang sangat baik (nilai 8,5)
  • Kecepatan yang tinggi (nilai 9)

Tidak heran jika Karet ini banyak digunakan oleh pemain. Untuk menarik bola, Karet ini sangat mudah digunakan dan sangat cocok untuk pukulan forehand.

Sudut yang dihasilkan agak tinggi, sehingga jika melakukan blok pasif, sudut bet harus sedikit tertutup. Untuk chop dekat net, Karet ini sangat nyaman digunakan dan tidak terlalu membal.

Untuk topspin dari jarak 2 meter dari meja, Karet ini sangat bagus. Kombinasi topsheet yang kenyal dan spons yang agak keras memberikan permainan yang sangat nyaman.

Perawatan:

Perawatan topsheet cukup dengan dilap menggunakan kanebo yang dibasahi air bersih. Jika diperlukan, gunakan sedikit sabun cair. Keringkan Karet di tempat yang berangin dan simpan dalam kondisi kering, jauh dari sinar matahari.

#55November 2017

You can only use this rubber one time on your blade. This is because the rubber has its own glue on the sponge. Once you remove the rubber from your blade, it will lose the original glue. As a result, this rubber is not suitable for use with 40+ balls.

#56October 2017

Wow! I got this as one of my first rubbers and found this very hard to use. Once I learned proper technique, this became a deadly weapon. I can attack up close or far from the table. This can even chop! The spin of serves can win points outright.

I played on all kinds of blades, but I prefer this on a flexible all-wood blade where the dwell time allows me to put the most power in the stroke. Some find this to be good, but I didn’t like the super high throw angle.

I recommend this to beginners who want to learn good strokes, or advanced players who want a lot of power and spin. If the price scares you, you can always buy cheap Friendship/729 rubbers, and they’ll play very similarly.

#57October 2017

I have used a lot of rubbers, but I have never seen anything like this. It is very nice.

#58October 2017

My first tacky rubber on my blade now. I put it on FH-rubber DHS NEO Hurricane 3(Orange sponge). I was very surprised by the tackiness.

The first time that I used the FH-rubber, it took a lot of my force to loop and spin the ball, but it produced a lot of spin. (I’m just an amateur player).

#59August 2017

I always play with tensor rubbers, this is my first tacky rubber. It grabs dust too much, I need to clean and film protect it after session. Everyone said this rubber is for FOREHAND! It’s right! I glue it on an OFF- soft pure wood blade. Some people said it is a slow rubber, but I don’t agree. The H3 Neo speed is not bad, but it overloads with spin. However, it is still fine for BACKHAND loop, but very good for blocks with safe landings. Also, the tackiness makes it easy to control counter loops or spins from the opponent. It creates a lot of spin with short serves. Side spin shots are so aggressive. For strike speed, it is comparable to tensor rubbers upto your physical strength. I will buy one for my backhand. It is the best value for money.

#60July 2017

Very Good rubber, but you have to use it correctly. When hard hitting the ball, you don’t get much power, which is good for touch play. When you scrape it, however, you find that the ball speed is incredible and the control is superb. It’s also a nasty rubber on serve because of its tackiness.

All around, a very good rubber for int/adv players. I wouldn’t advise this rubber for a beginner though, since it punishes lack of perfect technique very heavily.

#61July 2017

Amazing, just amazing.

Blocking, pushing, looping, hitting, service; everything is made easy with this unique rubber from DHS.

#62June 2017

A very good forehand (FH) rubber, perfect for topspin, loops, short play, and serves. It’s an amazing rubber with an amazing price.

#63June 2017

Good rubber if you prefer sticky rubber. While it’s not slow, power shots are extremely fast. The technique needs to be Chinese style to get the most out of it.

#64May 2017

DHS H3 Neo Rubber Review

This is an excellent rubber with great spin generation and control. It’s ideal for blocking thanks to its low arc and extreme tackiness, which causes the ball to nearly stick to the rubber.

To maintain the rubber’s tackiness, it’s crucial to keep it clean and protected when not in use. This can be achieved using the sheet provided with the sponge.

After nearly a year of use, the rubber still retains 40% of its tackiness. It’s highly recommended for forehand play, as a brushing action is required to maximize the spin it generates.

However, there may be some minor issues encountered when using the rubber on the backhand, but it remains a viable option.

#65May 2017

This was my first FH rubber, so I don’t have anything to compare it to. However, I can see why many people like it. This Chinese rubber is tacky, which is great for heavy topspin loopers and can generate a hefty amount of spin. Once it hits the opponent’s side, it takes off.

For driving and smashing, it does fairly well. With it being a harder sponge, smashing is not its strength, but it does produce.

Countering underspin is where this rubber shines. It takes almost no effort to lift the ball on a moderate to heavy underspin.

Control is moderate. This rubber is very sensitive to incoming spin, especially side spin. When testing ball placement, this rubber shoots the ball quite high, so the throw angle of any incoming ball with spin is going to launch it.

Touch play is quite surprisingly easy. Even though it is sensitive to opponents’ spin and being a tacky rubber, it has a generally soft feel on short plays and pushes. Blocking is somewhat of a mystery to me on this rubber, but I am usually not a blocking type. The few blocks I have managed to return, it was decently able to put the ball back on the table, but don’t expect this rubber to make it back every time.

Close to the table is easy where this rubber has its advantages as well. Heavy looping, counter topspin, decent speed. It’s easy to get the ball back before the opponent has a chance to think. Away from the table it starts to drop in speed and power as there is no catapult effect for this rubber.

Overall, this is a decent rubber for anyone who wants to get into Chinese tacky rubbers, and at a decent price, it’s a no-brainer.

#66April 2017

I use it as BH on my Stiga clipper wood. It just rocks on the BH drive/loop.

#67April 2017

This is a fantastic rubber that rewards players who can hit the ball hard enough to generate the desired speed and spin. It feels simple; a slow rubber when lacking power but deadly for those capable of executing strong topspins or loops.

The throw angle is ideal for counter loops and topspins, producing significant spin and speed. Additionally, the tacky topsheet facilitates spinny serves. However, it may be challenging to generate strong shots with this rubber during forehand flicks due to the small stroke. Blocking is decent but not exceptional, while forehand push generates plenty of spin.

In summary, this rubber rewards players with good technique and power, converting it into speed and spin.

#68January 2017

Good rubber for the price. However, it has to be cleaned regularly. This rubber is tacky to such a point that it attracts all the dust in the world. Once dusty, the surface becomes slippery.

#69January 2017

Although four grams heavier than the non-Neo version, the DHS Hurricane 3 Neo still is fairly light, weighing only 47 g when cut to the 157 x 150 mm test blade. This renders it on par with Donic’s Acuda Blue P1, 1-4 grams lighter than the Xiom Omega V range, and at least 6 grams lighter than unboosted Hurricane 8 rubbers.

The DHS Hurricane 3 Neo is noticeably springier and softer in feel than the regular Hurricane 3. Accordingly, the feeling on FH drives is almost like with harder European rubbers, except that the ball sticks to the rubber for a fraction longer due to the extreme tackiness. In my opinion, the regular Hurricane 3 Neo has the lowest throw angle of the whole Hurricane 3 series.

#70December 2016

This is a good rubber for a very cheap price. However, it lacks some speed. On the other hand, this rubber can produce an extreme topspin and can easily counter backspin due to its tackiness. Furthermore, it can produce a spinny serve. This rubber will be suited to a mid-range player, not a short-range player. Overall, this is a good rubber for those who play topspin.

H3 Table Tennis Rubber

This is an excellent forehand (FH) rubber, making it ideal for close-to-table play. With proper form, it offers ample power, limited only by your ability to generate topspin to maintain speed on the table. While other tensors may reflect spin and speed with small strokes, none can generate an opening attack as strong as H3.

The rubber’s service capabilities are also outstanding, consistently producing more spin than opponents. It pairs well with looping blades, as expected.

#73May 2016

I’m not sure about this rubber. It feels very slow (at least when new), especially when compared to the blue-sponge Provincial H3. It’s not super tacky, and it seems a little hard to control on smashes.

That being said, it has lots of gears and is capable of a fairly fast smash if you put enough into it. If I bought again (I probably will), I’ll go for the factory-tuned version (I don’t use boosters, so that will influence the speed).

UPDATE:

After getting used to this, the Hurricane is capable of really fast loops and flat hits, as well as powerful smashes. Once this rubber breaks in a little, it’s a great rubber!

#74May 2016

Not as fast as it is rated here. Searched for a rubber to change for my Donic Coppa X3 on my FH and based on the ratings here, this should have been a comparable rubber. Unfortunately, it is slower than 8.5 but you can produce some nice spin with it because of the tackiness.

For me it isn’t fast enough to finish points because you have to put too much effort into the smashes/topspin to make a winner. Maybe it would be a good BH rubber but I haven’t tested it yet.

#75May 2016

It’s a great rubber for FH with great spin and control.

#76April 2016

I’ve used this rubber for a little over 2 months now. Going from more traditional rubber to this rubber, I noticed that my playing style has changed overall. I now favor my forehand because of my ability to pick up the ball and change its direction in order to loop. With my backhand, I feel that I need to be more selective with my shots, whereas with the Hurricane 3, anything off the table is fair game for a loop.

Because it’s so tacky, you have to play with more of a brushing of the ball rather than angled strokes, but once accomplished, your game will improve. There is a reason why so many people love this rubber. The amount of spin I can get on serves is also quite effortless.

Short game can be a bit tough sometimes when you’re struggling to get to the ball. If you hit it too softly, the tackiness will take over and kill most of the speed, but come at it too fast, and the neo sponge will get the best of your shot. This is the kind of rubber that works well when you do.

#77March 2016

Tenergy 05

  • Amazing spin and control.

  • Good speed for off and off+ blades.

  • Excellent tackiness.

  • Opt for black rubbers for increased tackiness.

  • Highly acclaimed and widely used, especially as a substitute for more expensive options.

#78March 2016

Awesome FH rubber for loopers and for players who love spins over power.

For power players (who use drives and smashes very often), I recommend you use thicker blades (5.9mm-7mm.). Thicker blades will provide higher net safety and add speed to your drives and smashes with this rubber.

Overall, it’s a great and affordable rubber, just beware of the counterfeits out in the market.

#79March 2016

Excellent rubber for FH! It works well only on soft wood blades.

Serves are deadly, counter loops and loops are very good too. I played with it on HRT Clipper. Wonderful combination.

#80February 2016

There will always be two rubbers that every new rubber is compared to: Tenergy 05 and Hurricane 3 Neo.

#81January 2016

I changed from European rubbers to Chinese rubbers, and I can confidently state that I will never revert. On my forehand (FH), I employ DHS Neo 3, which offers unparalleled control for my shots. It excels in generating spin on serves. Close to the net, the tacky surface facilitates short, low shots during touch play. The only drawback arises when countering topspins away from the table, as it necessitates slightly increased power to return effectively. Otherwise, it is an exceptional rubber.

#82January 2016

I use this rubber for my forehand and am thoroughly impressed. It took some time to adjust, but now that I’m used to it, my game has improved significantly.

The spin I produce from my serves is good, but I believe it could be better with improved technique. My topspin drives and topspin/sidespin loops are spinny, and my attacks are fast if I swing quickly enough. Defending attacks are forgiving.

The short game is solid, producing a lot of backspin to force errors. Overall, this rubber is excellent. Get it and dominate your opponents.

#83December 2015

This rubber is standard. I think this is suitable for forehand. It is good for speed and control wood because this rubber has slow speed.

#84November 2015

Great for looping, this rubber offers good control and power. While not as good for driving, it is still suitable. This rubber encourages you to impart spin on the ball, whether it’s topspin or backspin.

#85September 2015

I use this rubber on both the forehand (FH) and backhand (BH) of a DHS Wind Allround blade and absolutely love it! Initially, it is too tacky, making it slow and challenging to control. After about 10 hours of playing time, however, the tackiness diminishes slightly while the rubber remains incredibly sticky. This allows for exceptional spin generation while maintaining adequate speed and good control.

As a modern attacker who employs various stroke types, this rubber has significantly enhanced my gameplay. The spin is remarkable, and the control is reliable. The speed varies based on stroke effort, making both close-to-the-table and far-from-the-table play equally effective.

There are only two drawbacks to this rubber: its weight, which may not be an issue for individuals committed to developing strength, and its diminished effectiveness when chopping due to its stickiness. While some have expressed concerns about its sensitivity to incoming spin, I find that aggressive topspin shots often yield positive results. Overall, this is an outstanding product from DHS.

#86August 2015

This rubber has typical Chinese characteristics. It is suitable for forehand use. Despite being Chinese rubber, it is fast and has an unusually high throw. It is a great rubber.

#87June 2015

I gave it a 9 out of 10. For me, it’s perfect. I love Chinese hard rubbers, though I’ll probably test other soft ones if I have the money.

This is my first rubber, and not only are they cheap but they are of good quality for the price. I have both Forehand and Backhand on Waldner Senso Carbon V1 blade.

Its tackiness wears off a bit with time, but its hard sponge and pimple arrangement with its tackiness allows you to hit hard and consistently with the new plastic ball.

It’s perfect for the player who wants to perform good loops to the table with a medium throw angle, hard and deceiving against an opponent. If you hit the ball softly, it will go slowly.

This rubber is perfect for close games. However, if an opponent pressures you off the table, then Hurricane will help you counter loop and counter topsin flawlessly in accordance with your technique.

Overall, this is a rubber to win points with, but also to develop your own good technique because the off table is very forgiving. But remember, once you get Hurricane, you can’t go back! I love it!

#88May 2015

This rubber is suitable for forehand play. It produces good spin effects.

#89April 2015

This is a good tacky Chinese rubber. It provides great spin.

#90April 2015

A very good and comfortable rubber for looping. With this rubber, you can vary the spins of the loops easily. However, due to its tackiness, the rubber is quite slow, requiring increased power to generate more speed. Performing power loops with this rubber can be exhausting, necessitating additional physical training. This rubber is not recommended for beginners.

#91January 2015

Used as FH on various blades including a regular Butterfly one, T11+, and lately DHS Power G7. The best combo is the latest one. At the beginning, it was tacky, but in two weeks, it disappeared. The rubber is spinny, but you must spend a lot of energy, therefore highly tiring. Considering the price, it’s worth buying. Overall, it’s good for those wishing to improve their game.

#92January 2015

The H3 rubber arrived in a DHS A6002 blade/rubber combo from the manufacturer, along with Tin Arc. When I acquired my new Bty Primorac Carbon, I transferred it to that blade and have enjoyed it since.

Pros:
This is a superior rubber to the Tin Arc. It offers greater speed, spin, and control. Its forgiving nature allows for shots to land consistently. Additionally, it generates impressive spin and boasts surprising speed. The performance of this rubber has greatly satisfied me, justifying its popularity.

Cons:
Despite my aggressive hitting style, the top sheet of the H3 rubber appears durable. However, it has exhibited a tendency to separate from the sponge along the edges when the ball is struck forcefully near the perimeter. Another drawback is its considerable weight.

#93December 2014

I had this on my FH for a while looking for more spin. It’s there if you can utilize it. The sponge is not the hardest out there, but it’s harder than typical medium-hard and likely the hardest most people might try. The weight in red 2.15 is 49 g, so it is just getting too heavy on my personal scale.

#94December 2014

I could not adjust to this rubber. It seemed to have good gears, but the speed was lacking without significant effort in the stroke. This Chinese rubber is of better quality and may be suitable for some players.

For my own use, I prefer a glued sheet of Mark V Max or Tenergy 05FX. I believe this rubber is style-oriented, as it is heavy and requires a lot of effort to tune. There is also some variation in quality from sheet to sheet.

#95December 2014

Initial Impressions:

Initially, the rubber is highly tacky, but its tackiness gradually diminishes after two weeks of use. Initially, it plays slower but generates exceptional spin.

Medium-Term Performance:

Over time, the rubber becomes medium-tacky and gains enough speed for close and medium-distance play. It also feels slightly softer than when new.

Recommended Playstyle:

This rubber is suitable for aggressive all-round players and spin gameplay. The reviewer personally prefers it with its original tackiness.

Maintenance:

To maintain the rubber’s performance, it should be cleaned with sweat during the match and pure water after the match. Contrary to typical rubber cleaning methods, using cleaning sponges is not recommended for this specific rubber. Instead, the natural oils from your palm can enhance its performance.

Boosting:

Applying booster without removing the glue underneath the rubber results in a softer sponge, improved feel, increased gear, and a significant boost in both speed and spin (though this increase is less noticeable on flat shots).

Durability:

Despite accidentally hitting the blade against the table, the minor rubber injuries healed fully after two weeks, and the major injury reduced significantly. This healing is believed to be attributed to cleaning with sweat and using a protective sheet.

Additional Note:

As observed by other users, this rubber produces a high throw for slow loops and a low throw for faster loops.

#96December 2014

Using it on Nittaku Russellfor 9.2 and Yasaka Extra C-Pen, one black on Nittaku and red on Yasaka, black gives more spin than red in my opinion. The sponge gives a tender feeling than the red also, but it might be due to the difference in wood of the blades I use.

Anyway, it’s a great rubber but not as great as the H3 provincial. Still, you can play quite well with it and it does the job right if you use it like you should. That means driving the ball and looping, but it’s also a good rubber for pushing and flicking with a lot of control and a really good feedback when getting into contact with the ball.

On the other hand, if you’re kind of sloppy with your stroke technique, you won’t like this rubber because to get what it has to give, you need to really do your movements right.

#97December 2014

Spin

  • Serves and short gameplay with this rubber are excellent. It performs well at an awesome price for spin.

Speed

  • The speed is decently good. This rubber is mainly meant for slower loops rather than fast topspin drives. However, whenever you make a powerful shot, there is some speed behind the ball.

Control

  • The sponge is soft enough to control however you want the ball to move. If you want to push, it’ll do it. You want to flip the spin of a ball, it’ll do it. You want to loop bottom spin, it’ll do it. Literally anything you want to try with this rubber, it will do it. Control with this rubber is excellent.

Looping

  • It keeps the ball low with a good arc and a tremendous amount of spin. It’s easy to loop bottom spin.

Pushes

  • Pushing with this rubber is good, no problems in this area.

Flicks

  • Awesome! It’s so easy to flick with this rubber. It puts good spin on the ball with a good amount of speed.

Topspin drives

  • It’s good, but it is easy to overhit shots if you hit the ball too hard at a certain angle.

Forehand or Backhand Compatible

  • I think this rubber is best suited for a forehand rubber. I’ve gotten better gameplay wise while using this rubber on my forehand. It improved my loops, topspin drives, and flicks. What more can you ask for? So this rubber is best suited for your forehand.

Conclusion

  • I definitely recommend this rubber if you are an attacker. It’s a cheap rubber as well and a good alternative to the tenergy series. You definitely get the bang for your buck. Purchase the DHS Hurricane 3 Neo because it is absolute fire!
#98December 2014

Silent Killer

The Silent Killer!! has excellent spin power and superb chop attack, making it suitable for players who prefer hard sponges.

Durability Concerns

The only aspect of this rubber that I find disappointing is its durability. It is prone to swelling when re-glued more than 4-5 times, even if the procedure is carried out correctly.

#99November 2014

I have switched to DHS Neo H3 on FH from European tensor rubbers. The main reasons for the switch are:

  • H3 is more linear and therefore far more predictable.
  • H3’s tack means that it is easier to vary spin on serves.
  • H3’s tack adds an extra level of control to the FH short game, especially when handling short no-spin serves to FH.
  • When looping, H3 produces a different arc than Tennergy and tensor rubbers, something that never fails to surprise the opposition.
  • It is much easier to loop short balls over the table, just using H3’s tacky top-sheet.
  • The amount of spin that H3 is capable of generating is clearly no less than that of the spinniest non-tack rubbers.

The only downside I can think of is that FH blocks are a bit soft because of the tack. But then, why not counter-hit instead of blocking on FH?

#100September 2014

If you’re short of funds, this will suffice.

#101September 2014

I recommend this sheet for intermediate players as it’s not easy to tame. It requires some time and good technique to get used to it. When you loop and hit the sweet spot, it gives a nice muted “thud”. However when you miss cue or hit flat and hard, it gives out a metallic “tink” sound.

With the tacky surface, it attracts a lot of dust, so you need to keep it clean with a rubber cleaner after every session. I wouldn’t say it’s my favourite rubber, but for the price, it’s hard to beat!

#102July 2014

Less power, but very spinny.

#103June 2014

This is an occasional rubber made for fast blades. I personally have a DHS Hurricane Long I with this rubber for both FH and BH. If someone asks me, this would be one of the best options (considering the price of course!). The hurricane long blade with this rubber works excessively due to the speed of the blade, tackiness of the rubber and above normal control of both.

I like this rubber better than some others even with higher prices; here is some advice as a conclusion: To save your money and have an almost excellent racket, invest in a very fast blade with good control, and then use tacky rubbers with normal speed which are not very expensive and get (almost) the same result as Tenergy, Butterfly SpinArt, Rakza7, etc…

#104June 2014

Pros:

  • Short serves with spin
  • Third ball attack with topspin
  • Control to speed ratio is good. Easy to put good speed and spin on balls and still place them anywhere on the table

Cons:

  • Don’t use for backhand. Just too slow for backhand, in my opinion.
  • Not fast enough for great long serves. Could still do good long serves but not great.
#105March 2014

H3 NEO Red 2.2 40deg. Table Tennis Rubber Review

Currently using H3 NEO Red 2.2 40deg. on the forehand (FH) of a Joola Flame Fast blade, I am more than pleased with its performance. It required a few hours of break-in, but it now plays exceptionally well. This is my first experience using Chinese rubber, and I am thoroughly enjoying it.

The H3 NEO Red 2.2 40deg. rubber is versatile and suitable for various playing styles, particularly for close to mid and far from the table. However, when playing farther from the table, it becomes necessary to generate additional power.

Regarding durability, I have only used the rubber for two months, so I cannot provide a definitive assessment. However, after two months of use, it has maintained its performance without any noticeable decline.

Update:

I have since discovered that the H3 NEO Red 2.2 40deg. rubber pairs better with flexible and faster blades. Additionally, its durability is remarkable.

#106January 2014

It is a very good rubber!

The first impressions you’ll think it is a very fast rubber, but then when you play with it you’ll see it’s not too fast and hard.

Spin is awesome. Its tackiness makes the due time longer, generating more spin and control.

At all it is a great rubber, but for people who like non-tacky rubbers, I don’t recommend it.

#107January 2014

Great forehand rubber for loopers, high throw on soft loops and low throw on killer loops. It offers great control but it is not the best for flat hitting, especially far from the table. But who cares, this stuff easily eats the opponent’s backspin!

#108December 2013

This is a very nice rubber. It can be used well when playing close to or far from the table.

#109December 2013

When I applied the rubber to my blade, I was amazed. My loops were significantly improved, and I noticed a significant increase in power upon impact with the table.

#110December 2013

I have tried a couple of sheets of commercial H3 over the years but never really liked them. I decided to give this neo H3 a try. To be honest with you, I cannot seem to put the ball on the table. It seems to be the highest throw rubber I have ever seen.

I did like the sponge, and attaching it to the blade was neat. But despite using a lot of other Chinese rubber in the past, I can’t seem to use this. I also got a sheet of Skyline 3 Neo at the same time, and that is much, much easier to use.

#111October 2013

Loop Monster by DHS

Loop Monster by DHS is a super fast and spinney table tennis rubber. It excels in top gear, providing amazing spin and control. However, in medium gear, it may fall short compared to tensor rubbers, which have advanced technology that enhances performance in this range.

Despite this slight drawback, Loop Monster remains one of my favorite rubbers for forehand play, ranking alongside TG3 on various sponge types (including Neo, Blue, and Old Glue Sponge).

Enjoy table tennis!

#112September 2013

The Hurricane 3 rubber is not bouncy at all. If you drop the ball onto the racket, it will bounce only 3 times. In contrast, other rubbers will bounce 8-9 times.

This huge difference in bounce may be significant for those who are accustomed to using bouncy Japanese rubbers. It may take some time to adjust to the Hurricane 3’s non-bouncy nature.

Ultimately, the suitability of the Hurricane 3 rubber is a matter of personal preference. Some may appreciate its non-bouncy characteristics, while others may find it too restrictive. I personally did not enjoy the Hurricane 3 and sold it after an hour of use.

#113August 2013

This rubber is a great value for its low cost. It offers good performance at a fraction of the price of other high-end rubbers. It provides a decent amount of spin and control, making it a good choice for both offensive and defensive players. Overall, this rubber is a great option for those looking for a good performing rubber without breaking the bank.

However, it’s important to note that this rubber may not be as durable as some of the more expensive options. It may wear out more quickly, especially if you play frequently. Additionally, it may not provide as much power or spin as some of the higher-end rubbers.

Pros:

  • Good value for the price
  • Provides decent spin and control
  • Good choice for both offensive and defensive players

Cons:

  • May not be as durable as more expensive options
  • May not provide as much power or spin as higher-end rubbers
#114May 2013

Hurricane 3 Neo is a one-of-a-kind rubber. It can generate an immense amount of spin, but sometimes, with a slight change of angle, it generates no spin at all. I believe this is because I am just starting to use it. I think it has the potential for creating great serves.

Speed is above average, but to make full use of its ability, it takes time to master. It is worth its price of S$35. I play penhold, but I think this rubber is better suited for a shakehand style. I looped with it with penhold but no spin was generated. However, it is really hard to block an attack from a shakehand user. The combination of slow and spinny confuses many. Overall, it is a great rubber.

#115May 2013

This rubber offers good performance, but it falls short in terms of bounciness. However, its sticky topsheet makes it an excellent choice for serving. Despite being a bit too hard, it is an overall remarkable rubber. However, it requires a certain level of strength to generate significant spin.

#116May 2013

This rubber is relatively inexpensive, which may tempt beginners to purchase and experiment with it. However, this is a common beginner error that should be avoided.

Chinese rubbers (primarily those from DHS) are typically fast, heavy, hard, tacky, and challenging to control for beginners. While they may be suitable for over-the-table play, looping becomes extremely difficult without adequate strength and technique.

The weight of these rubbers makes control challenging, and their hardness minimizes touch. Blocking becomes unreliable, with balls tending to drop into the net. Additionally, their tackiness increases spin sensitivity.

These factors can be overwhelming for both beginners and intermediate players. It is generally recommended that players with less than five years of experience avoid these rubbers, as they can hinder stroke development. Opting for softer, more forgiving Japanese rubbers is a wiser choice for beginners.

#117March 2013

Coming from a Japanese soft rubber, it was very awkward the first time I used this rubber. Give it a few weeks and you’ll be playing along great with it. It’s very spinny, and very durable if taken good care of. Mine lasted for 2 years, with a big drop in spin though, but still, it will make your opponents cry.

#118February 2013

After testing it out a bit, I found it felt great from the beginning. The switch from European non-tacky to Chinese tacky rubber was easy, and I didn’t have to make any major movement changes. I felt it performed really well on all kinds of topspins but less so on no-spin drives. Additionally, there was no catapult effect whatsoever, so boosting it a little bit might help.

#119January 2013

This rubber is not as good as H3.

#120January 2013

The rubber provides good spin and control. However, it may require a booster to enhance its performance fully.

#121December 2012

I recently used this rubber for my backhand. It has nice control, but the power is quite lower than I expected. However, I can say that this rubber is really suitable for someone looking for great control and a medium-low trajectory.

#122October 2012

VERY impressive speed and spin capabilities, but only when you play like a monster. Pretty good short game and serves. Blocks are bad because of the dead sponge, but H3N allows you to counter loop-drive very easily. Nice and interesting rubber.

#123September 2012

Very good rubber for forehand, but not remarkably fast. It provides excellent spin, causing difficulties for opponents in counterlooping (even against Tenergy 25). This rubber is also ideal for serves and blocks. However, it may not perform well when playing at a distance from the table. Its quality may slightly deteriorate after about six months of use.

#124August 2012

This rubber is particularly well-suited for backhands, especially for players who lack power in this area. The extra bounce it provides greatly assists in backhand loops or flicks.

However, it is not particularly tacky or spinny.

#125August 2012

I use this rubber on my backhand. It produces a lot of winners for me, making it one of the best rubbers I have tried.

It performs well for serving and can produce a lot of spin on any type of stroke. This rubber is definitely a winner.

However, it requires good timing to unleash its full potential.

#126June 2012

I use one on my FH on a Hinoki Shake Swift blade (medium). I found it very easy to do 3rd ball loops. However, because of the hardness of the sponge, 6th ball drives are always trickier (for me!). This rubber is awesome, but it is hard to get the right angle.

Lately, I use it on my forehand due to its tremendous spin and speed. However, I bought this for my backhand. It lacks consistency, but perhaps I need more practice. It’s awesome on both forehand and backhand. It can also create a very spinny serve. I forgot to mention that this is my first rubber. It’s a very tacky rubber, and that’s why I love it! It’s my favorite rubber for now.

#128May 2012

Amazingly tacky and spinny rubber with good speed. I’m using it on my forehand, and my sidespin and topspin loop have never been better. However, it gets dirty very quickly and loses its tackiness. After cleaning it, the rubber shines again.

#129May 2012

Technology is awesome. I used this rubber and am still using it. It offers great spin in looping. My game has now become flawless. But there is always something to learn. Hurricane 3 Neo, I am your fan, and a big one too.

#130April 2012

Definitely a slower rubber. I don’t know why people rate the speed of this rubber at 8.6.

#131March 2012

The best sponge that I have ever played with.

#132March 2012

DHS Hurricane 3 Neo is a good sponge for me. I recommend all my students to play with it!

This is the best Chinese rubber that I’ve ever used. You can generate a lot of speed and spin with nice control. That’s why Ma Long used it on his forehand. Smashing, blocking, chopping, and topspinning are really easy using this rubber. I use 2.2mm on my forehand.

#134February 2012

This table tennis rubber is superb. It provides excellent spin and control, allowing for precise shots and aggressive play. The rubber also has a high level of durability, ensuring it will last for a long time.

#135February 2012

I previously played with the DHS TG Skyline 2. I chose the DHS Neo Hurricane 3 because I needed more speed, and this rubber delivers. While it feels slow during normal strokes or slow hits, it provides ample speed for attacks.

Despite being hard by European and American standards, the sponge is slightly smoother than other Chinese rubbers. Blocking is not ideal due to the high ball bounce angle, which often results in the ball not reaching the table.

However, looping and topspin are exceptional with this rubber. The tacky surface generates so much spin that opponents find it challenging to block the ball effectively. The third ball attack is also impressive.

Serving is another strength of this rubber. The heavy spin it imparts on the ball makes serves more dangerous.

Overall, the DHS Neo Hurricane 3 is a formidable rubber for aggressive play. It is not suitable for passive play and demands an active playing style. I am considering trying the Neo Hurricane 3 Provincial or National version, as they are said to offer improved smoothness and control.

The price of this rubber is reasonable.

#136February 2012

Improved from H3.

#137January 2012

I bought this rubber because I tried it on my friend’s blade and it performed well. It was spinny, which made it great for serves and continuous rallies.

However, when I put it on my Sardius blade, the performance was not as good. It was difficult to break in, reacted too much, and lacked power.

#138January 2012

I just hit with this rubber, with a little effort, but the effect of spin is marvelous.

#139January 2012

The rubber is good overall.

However, because this rubber is a bit slow, you should try not to go far from the table.

Additionally, you need to use Chinese-style strokes for better performance.

#140December 2011

Surprisingly good FH rubber. I liked it a lot since the first time I played with it. I’ll give it a few months’ credit.

#141December 2011

This rubber is excellent when used with speed glue and booster.

#142December 2011

I love this rubber! If you have fast legs and great technique, this is the best rubber for you. When you have enough physics, you can dominate the game with it!

However, it’s not good for playing a slow-motion game. It requires acceleration and you always have to spin the ball, no flat. Flat strokes have no control. Just spin, and remember that control is in spin.

In the short game (and returning serves), also spin, but more delicate and fast.

So if you want to take your table tennis skills to the next level, then learn to play with this rubber!

#143November 2011

This rubber excels in forehand play. While not remarkably fast, it provides excellent control and spin generation. Arguably, it is one of the most spin-oriented rubbers available.

The versatility of this rubber is exceptional. It is capable of executing a wide range of techniques, from powerful smashes and looping drives to precise chopping strokes. It is one of the few rubbers that can genuinely perform any table tennis technique effectively.

#144October 2011

The best forehand rubber I have ever used. Definitely have to adjust your stroke (racket angle and forward momentum) to get the best out of it though. Can’t wait to get my hands on a Provincial.

#145September 2011

I’ve bought this rubber three or four times, but have only gotten one good sheet. Unfortunately, that sheet only played at its peak for a month. None of the sheets I received matched the speed or spin of Tenergry, which I usually use on my forehand. I guess you get what you pay for. You can either buy several sheets of this to find a good one, or you can get one sheet of Tenergry and know that it’s good. Financially, it seems like you would be spending the same amount of money. Butterfly prices suck, but at least you get what you pay for. I am very unhappy with this product.

#146September 2011

Unlimited gears, more than sufficient tackiness—a rubber for spinfreaks.

#147September 2011

I love this rubber. It’s great for looping.

Unfortunately, it is inconsistent. But when you get a good sheet, it’s amazing.

I use it on my forehand on the Galaxy V-14 blade.

#148August 2011

This special rubber is very fast and generates a lot of spin.

#149August 2011

Good for looping against backspin and smashing. I find it very powerful, so choppers cannot find clues against it.

It feels a bit heavy. Pushes are often not controllable.

It shines in a power attack spin-based game.

#150August 2011

I used this rubber on the forehand side of a Yasaka Ma Lin Soft (OFF-), yet I still couldn’t control it.

#151August 2011

I use this for forehand. It gives so much spin with good speed.

#152May 2011

This rubber has a ridiculously high throw, but once you break it in, you will learn to love it. It has great speed and a great sound. I found the sound a bit weird at first, but now I love it.

#153March 2011

Good rubber for forehand, but optimal performance is achieved after one month and requires a blade with some flex.

Serve: Good, but lacks speed for fast serves.
Return of serve: Good for short balls, but reacts to spin on medium length serves.
Opening/3rd ball attack: Excellent spin and high throw on forehand. Adjust technique for lower backspin balls.
Block: Fine and consistent.
Counter: Very good, but requires a more closed bat due to a reactive sponge at mid-distance.

Conclusion: Performs like a Euro-Jap rubber at mid-distance for counter looping, superior for opening loops on forehand. Good spin on serve, but lacks speed for long serves. Returns are slightly weaker due to spin sensitivity. Requires 2 weeks to 1 month for optimal playability.

#154March 2011

This rubber is one of the best Chinese rubbers I have ever tried. DHS has been able to put extra speed into the NEO sponge. I am using it on a control blade now, so I am mostly using it for topspin rather than hitting it deeply into the blade. If you are able to use only the topsheet and the sponge to create offensive strokes on your control blade, it becomes very fast. However, too much friction between the rubber and the sponge has caused it to become softer, thus making it powerful for topspinning attacks.

#155February 2011

After using a Tensor (Vega Pro B 2.0) for several months, I decided to try the legendary H3 with 2.2 NEO sponge. I believe this rubber will become my permanent choice for my forehand.

After adjusting my strokes, I found that the control provided by the H3 is excellent. It offers a range of gears, allowing for slow play with the help of its tackiness and powerful, spin-heavy drives.

The value-to-price ratio of the H3 is outstanding. I highly recommend any offensive player to give this rubber a try.

#156January 2011

Okay, I have tried this rubber on a few different blades now. This rubber is a little hard to get used to. It has a large gear range and needs to be used by an offensive/aggressive player.

The ball curve/arch on this rubber is crazy! I’ve never used a rubber with as close to as much hook while looping. Once I got my looping consistent with it, they were rarely returned.

I like this rubber, just be warned it takes some practice to get a feel for it.

#157January 2011

I use this rubber on my forehand (RED 2.1mm) on a Butterfly Kong Linghui blade. I loop on my forehand from mid-distance to close table with topspin.

When I load the ball with side spin and loop, the ball is almost undefendable. The ball spins off the opponent’s bat and off the table in various angles. A very spinny rubber that loads the ball well. Opponents and training partners have commented positively on the spin.

Mixed with Skyline 2 Neo on my backhand, this is the best rubber combination I have used.

#158January 2011

Very good rubber. It allows all kinds of looping, and is good at short game.

#159December 2010

I have tried this rubber and it is amazing. This rubber is designed for topspin players and has a slightly tacky topsheet.

#160December 2010

I won’t put ratings, just a comment.

I’ve played 3-4 sessions with it so far. 39 degrees. This is an interesting rubber with the largest gear range I’ve seen - so slow on slow shots, yet surprisingly fast on fast ones. It’s easier for 3rd ball than for longer rallies as it requires more grazing style of looping to be consistent.

It has a large throw angle variation, high throw for slow shots, significantly lower with speed shots. This makes it harder for me to determine bat angle because it needs to be more closed for slow loops as they tend to go over the table, while fast counters need not too closed bat to go over the net. Because it is this specific, it needs some time to get used to.

The spin is strong (but there are stronger ones), topsheet is semi-tacky - my red didn’t hold the ball even new except for a very brief moment. It’s better for flat-hitting than most Chinese rubbers. It rewards adding some wrist in FH stroke. It’s less consistent for slow looping. It has some sensitivity to incoming spin. It’s good for serving. My 39 deg does not feel hard without tuning (I never tune).

#161December 2010

It is a really good rubber, but it is heavy. So, think about which blade you put it on. Anyway, it’s not that hard at all, it’s only 40 degrees.

#162November 2010

When I first used it, I was impressed with it. (My playing style is aggressive topspin strategy.) I can make a good topspin with a great speed with my FH better than T64 n T05. I can also make a good service whether the backspin serves or chop serves, it goes perfectly well n very spinny. Looping?? I can say its extremely well than T05 (729 ATT CA Carbon Blade Palio Macro Pro on my BH side H3 NEO are on my FH side.)

#163November 2010

Ultimate forehand rubber. If you play close to the table loop or over the table loop, 3rd ball attack and love to swing hard, then this rubber is for you.

#164July 2010

Great spin on serves and looping. However, had some issues with pushing/looping when tsp spectol pushed a ball to me.

#165July 2010

Cons: Commercial DHS rubbers vary between batches, but there’s nothing that can be done about it.

Pros:

  • Provides an excellent alternative to more expensive rubbers like Tenergys.
  • Less tacky than the original Hurricane 3, which makes this rubber comparable to European/Japanese topsheets with Chinese sponge.
  • Maintains a slow but audible spin when picking up a ball.
  • Offers multiple gears.
  • Somewhat softer sponge than the original Hurricane 3.
  • Excellent for serves and looping.
  • Provides a great alternative to Tenergys, as my two Tenergys (05 and 25) deteriorated due to spin.
  • Highly recommended for those seeking a cost-effective alternative to expensive rubbers.
  • To further soften the sponge, it is advisable to reglue the rubber several times after initially opening it.
  • Possesses qualities similar to European/Japanese rubbers.
#166June 2010

It took me about a week to break this in. Loops with side spin have a large hook. Speed is good. Control could be slightly better. It feels lighter than Hurricane 2 (commercial). It is a tacky rubber, but not as sticky as my old Hurricane 2.

Durability:
1st month: Peak performance. Excellent spin and speed.

2-3 months: Good performance. Noticeable drop in spin. Speed is slightly slower.

3+ months: Average spin and speed. Good control, especially for backhand.

#167June 2010

This rubber is great for both backhand and forehand. It provides excellent spin, good speed, and very good control. It is also incredible for serves and very affordable.

#168June 2010

Good spin.

#169June 2010

Max Sponge, Black: Incredible control, decent spin and speed. It has 2 or 3 gears and provides a nice feeling.

#170April 2010

Compared to the H3 commercial, this rubber has better bounce and zip, although it is less tacky.

#171February 2010

I liked it! Not sure if I’ll stick with it, but it’s definitely fun to play with coming from speed glued Tackifire Special Soft.

Neo H3 has nice midcourt power, which is pretty much what speed glued regular H3 provided. It also has great serves and pushes.

My only problems were putting away high balls. It’s very difficult with Neo H3’s harder sponge, but I hope to adapt soon or just twirl like what you see the Chinese players do.

#172November 2009

Glued Hurricane 3 used to be my favorite backhand rubber for its power and consistency. But then came the speed glue ban era. I definitely believe this is the answer to that era. It plays better than I ever remember a glued Hurricane 3 playing.

Very consistent backhand looping and driving rubber. Not to mention excellent spin for serving and pushing.

#173November 2009

This is a very good rubber. My third ball attacks using my forehand have never been better.

#174October 2009

Not as fast as the old prov h3 glued up, but not too bad. Unfortunately, I ripped my topsheet on my first session, but that was my fault…

Pretty good spin, better than tenergy or whale II though slightly slower. More controllable and easier to loop bottom spin, but far table lacks some power.

Serves are spinny as hell, and short table receives are pretty controlled as well.

All in all, a pretty good rubber.

BTW, the neo is softer than the original.

Good for loopers…recommend harder, faster blades =).

#175October 2009

Great rubber for the price. It is very much like the original H3 but with a bit more zip. It is nowhere near as fast or spinny as a glued H3, but that’s not an option these days.

#176September 2009

This is a great rubber and comes at a budget-friendly price compared to other rubbers. Some people find it slow, because when you play close to the table, the tackiness plays an important role. However, if you hit the ball hard, it bounces quite fast. Thus, slow hits are slow, and fast hits are fast. Overall, it is a great rubber.

Review text:

Buy some Haifu booster and this rubber. Boost the rubber. Put it on a fast outer layer carbon blade… and if you’re into tacky spinny Chinese rubbers, you just got the perfect setup. World class.

I am actually getting tired of ESN rubbers. There are only so many ways to reinvent the wheel. I am gravitating towards fast Chinese rubbers or the new hybrids that don’t require boosting. Currently loving the Tibhar Hybrid K3 as it’s grippy spinny with total control yet a tiger underneath ready to roar with the very hard sponge. Best of 2 worlds. However… this DHS rubber done with proper boosting is very very similar as its only weakness is speed which can be fixed.

#178Long Time Ago...

Just put this layer of booster on and play.

Magic spin and control. If you know how to unlock all gears, this is an unbelievable rubber. I tell you there is no better rubber for forehand than Hurricane.

#179Long Time Ago...

Good for the price, but lacks power when not boosted. Overall, it’s hard.

#180Long Time Ago...

This rubber is of awesome quality, especially if spinning is your forte. The price point is just perfect and good for practicing the Chinese playing style.

#181Long Time Ago...

Great rubber with good spin.

#182Long Time Ago...

I purchased one piece of DHS Neo3 black with 2.15 thickness from tt.store.eu on 22-09-2023. It was surprisingly cheap at 15 euros.

However, to my dismay, the rubber had a hologram but lacked the usual smell and tackiness that I have experienced with this product in the past. I am concerned that this may be a bad batch.

#183Long Time Ago...

Very nice rubber. Due to its tackiness, it is very good in the short game. It can be played very slow, but on a full arm swing, it becomes very fast. I really like the very low throw angle with the long curve, as it lets my enemies struggle against my topspins. It feels super controllable as well. It is nicely cheap, which makes it acceptable that the durability is not high.

#184Long Time Ago...

Review: New Formula Hurricane Rubber

This review covers the new formula Hurricane rubber. I have tested it on a Timo Boll ALC blade with 39-degree unboosted and boosted settings, and a 40-degree boosted setting.

As the rubber gets harder, it demands better footwork. Compared to D09c, it offers slightly more spin and control. The throw angle is medium and feels natural, eliminating the need for conscious arc adjustment.

Speed is adequate for blocks and passive play but not its forte. The rubber’s popularity makes it an affordable experiment at around €20 per sheet. I recommend playing unboosted with a softer sponge (38-39 degrees is preferable to 40).

The difference between 39-degree and 40-degree boosted settings is significant. The 39-degree setting provides more speed on slower spin shots, while the 40-degree setting generates more spin and power on harder impact balls and counters.

The second bounce of these rubbers is extreme, creating a faster, lower, and spinnier shot compared to Tenergy 05. For active play, DHS Hurricane is formidable due to its exceptional control and spin.

I have not played with the national version, so I compare it to D09c, T05, and Hurricane 2 neo. Hurricane 3 has an impressive lifespan and exhibits durability with both new and old badges.

#185June 2025

This is a good rubber for those who are willing to put effort into their shots. No lazy half-hitting; commit to every stroke like you mean it. Spinny balls and a low throw will put a lot of pressure on your opponent in an offensive rally. Just keep in mind, this rubber requires you to also be physically in shape. So, train your body fitness as well, otherwise, you might get unnecessary strain on your muscles.

#186June 2025

I received a black 2.1 rubber and a red 2.2 rubber in one order. Both came with a layer of glue, so I put some glue on the blade only (Yinhe Pro 01), and assembled the racket right away. Despite the minimum difference in thickness, the thinner black rubber is about 50% faster when I gently bounce the ball on the racket. Then I played 20 games or so, and in all scenarios the thinner black rubber is faster, maybe 25% faster overall. So, be prepared to expect the unexpected.

#187May 2025

I am new to table tennis and had only experienced European-style, bouncy rubbers… all high-end versions that my Father-in-Law let me test on his old racquets. After watching some excellent videos from TableTennis11, I decided to give the Hurricane 3 a try… wow, this is a revelation. This rubber was completely different than the European rubbers that I was able to test… much more controllable, and just as fast, as long as you swing like Fan Zhendong… which is fine with me because there is no escaping the athleticism and technique required by this sport. Frankly, the super bouncy rubbers seem like a mistake in this sport. My initial impression of this sport clearly shows that the top players must really control and spin the ball 95% of the time and then be able to crush the opponent’s one mistake. Why would I get a rubber that was only super fast, when, if I am playing competently, I only need to hit rockets 5% of the time? People on the internet seem obsessed with speed and power… but after watching far too many videos of Ma Long, it is clear that touch and spin win the day. I find it interesting how all the top manufacturers are heading back towards “hybrid” rubbers, that are simply copying what Hurricane 3 was offering all along.

#188May 2025

Producto de buena calidad, me llegó en muy poco tiempo, lo recomiendo.

#189April 2025

Nothing to regret, especially if it’s your first time using it.

#190April 2025

No other paddle rubber matches the grippiness of these terrific Chinese skins. They are capable of producing remarkable spin, as well as good rebound power for smashes. I have been playing with these rubber on both the forehand and backhand of the Hugo Carbon-Lite paddle, as well as the Butterfly Timo Boll paddles. Highly recommended.

#191December 2024

This rubber is for someone who usually plays forehand topspin. There is a lot of spin and control, so it is very good for looping rallies. Sadly, if you want more speed, you need to use more strength or buy the national version with booster. Overall, it’s good, but you need to have good technique.

#192October 2024

Outstanding rubber, excellent control on a 100% wood all-round blade.

#193September 2024

My favorite!

#194September 2024

I’ve been using G1 for a few years. This is a different experience and okay, I might mix the two and try.

#195August 2024

Good deal, I like it on the forehand mostly but also enjoyed it on the backhand. I like it against pips as well.

#196July 2024

The only downside is that the tackiness causes a loss of speed and you have to exert more force from the body - higher physical ability demands.

#197July 2024

This rubber is amazing! I think it will take a week or two to get used to the rubber, and once you’re used to it, it will help you a lot in many ways! I hope the rubber lasts longer!

#198May 2024

Абсолютно понятный продукт. С высоким качеством вращения.

#199April 2024

This rubber in the NEO version is great. Very high rotation with control, but a little bit slow. It blocks very well. The best rubber in this price range.

#200March 2024

It takes some time for the rubber to start breaking in, but good spin and speed.

#201March 2024

I have been using this for a while. It is good for beginners and advanced players.

#202March 2024

Got the 2.2mm 39° hardness as ordered. Thank you TT11!

Paired with a 3-ply Hinoki blade, it gives a good touch for the short game, good power for third ball openings, but it is a bit too sensitive to incoming spin for my level and technique.

#203February 2024

Review text:

Very good for all levels from beginners to advanced with the best control and spin.

#204January 2024

I have coached for 30+ years in a game that demands spin. This product delivers. It is best used with more powerful strokes for looping. Also, it enhances grip on serves. 8 out of 10 rating for playability and value.

#205December 2023

The DHS Hurricane 3 Neo rubber for the backhand surprised me with great control. It may not be fast enough, but it helps in the game to improve playing skills properly. I recommend it for those whose backhand is a weak side.

#206December 2023

It is one of the spinniest rubbers on the market. However, it is quite hard and not very fast on impact with the ball. It demands a very good technique to be used properly.

#207December 2023

This rubber requires a bit of getting used to.
It’s progressive, so unlike all other rubbers I have had, it’s not just one night at the club and you get it.

#208October 2023

As I said, it’s nothing more than acceptable.

#209October 2023

Old favorite, never fails to impress. *****

#210October 2023

If you’re not used to Chinese rubbers, it will take some time to get used to it. Personally, after a period of transition from a Nittaku G-1, this is my new backhand rubber. Less speed, but maybe more spin, and way more control and blocking.

#211September 2023

Trying for the first time.

#212August 2023

Tacky, hard sponge, great spin. Not recommended for BH.

#213July 2023

Excellent rubber.

#214March 2023

Very good control.

#215March 2023

This rubber have very poor control and inconsistent spin. I do not recommend it for players looking to improve their game.

#216March 2023

Excellent practice ball at a good price.

#217February 2023

Para jugadores de ataque, buena goma, muy adhesiva y con buenos efectos.

#218February 2023

Stickiness seems to be lost within one week of sporadic play. Doesn’t seem to live up to its name. Spin is decent. Control seems to be tough - but with me being an intermediate player, maybe it works better for experts.

#219December 2022

Rubber with great quality for the price paid.

#220November 2022

Good control.

#221November 2022

TT 11 delivers the best.

#222November 2022

I have been playing with this rubber for a few months now on both FH and BH, and it’s a pretty solid choice. The fact that the ball doesn’t simply bounce off it and requires you to actually put in the work and have a correct stroke makes this rubber a great choice for whoever wants to improve and have a consistent game. You probably won’t get a better bang for your buck with any other rubber.

#223October 2022

This rubber is a good alternative to Dignics 9c. It’s slower than Dignics 9c, but with some boosting it can get fast enough, while maintaining spin and control.

#224October 2022

Best forehand rubber in this price range.

#225October 2022

I use it on my practice blade for the forehand.

#226September 2022

Great rubber in terms of price and playing ability. However, it must be tuned to get the best results. A big minus is that it doesn’t last very long in comparison to others such as Tenergy, Dignics, etc.

#227September 2022

Tacky rubber, great for forehand loops!!

#228August 2022

Una de las mejores gomas del mercado, la curva de devolución es baja.

#229August 2022

I’m an intermediate player. I used it unboosted, black 2.15mm 39° sponge, on a Yasaka Sweden Extra, FH. It’s a really nice rubber.

  • Hard, super tacky (held the ball 30 seconds when clean).
  • Sensitive to humidity (but not a problem in my climate).
  • It didn’t lack speed at my level. Many gears.
  • Great control.
  • Lots of spins.
  • Very nice low arc on topspins. You can loop-kill the ball even with open-ups (vs backspin). Low kick on the opponent’s side.
  • Serves are easy and really spinny.
  • Short game and pushes are good.
  • Blocking is ok, but not as easy as Rasanter R37 max, you have to block actively.
  • Smash ok. Better if done with some brush on the swing.
  • Better on flex blade, from what I read.

This rubber is (potentially) a nasty weapon. I would advise anybody who has decent technique and hasn’t tried Chinese-style rubbers to try it. It’ll improve your technique.

If you’re coming from a classic euro rubber, you have to get used to the low throw and blade angles for each type of shot. (It has lower throws on faster shots and higher throws on slower shots, for example.) It’s a technically demanding rubber; you have to commit to your strokes, because if you don’t, the ball will die into the net. Full big swing strokes with great acceleration. The rubber works greatest with at least some brushing on all shots. When you do your shots technically well, you can stand in WOW at your ball arcing super low and blazing past your opponent, nasty.

It was a good experience, but since I didn’t do much body rotation or weight transfer, I compensated for that with my arm movement. I was surprised by the huge swings I did. That ended up hurting my shoulder. 1 month of H3N was still worth buying it. I then switched to Baracuda 2.0 black also on YSE (really good rubber, the end of my search btw).

But in any case, do try H3N, it’s fun and it’ll teach you how to play.

#230August 2022

It was tough getting used to the reduced bounce coming from a European rubber, but a good rubber requires a bigger shot. Amazing after boosting.

#231July 2022

Good rubber.

#232June 2022

Review text:

I thought about buying it for the price and seeing how it goes. It was very, very slow, so I had to change the rubber. I cannot be bothered with boosting, etc.

#233June 2022

Muy buen efecto, para jugadores de estilo chino.

#234May 2022

Nice and tacky.

#235April 2022

Rubber with a lot of control and spin. Together with my Xiom Ignito racket provides a great combination of control and speed for my game.

#236March 2022

Vrasheniyasi yaxshi ekan, bu nakladkani.

#237March 2022

Feels like the gold standard. A great rubber if you’re just getting into Chinese rubbers and holds up well long after that. If you don’t know quite what you’re looking for in rubber, this is a great place to start, and a great place to stay if you like it.

#238March 2022

I’m new to the sport and this is only my second set of different rubber for my paddle. This set is a little stickier than my first. I like the control it offers and the ability to add spin.

#239February 2022

Quite hard to use. Make sure to order 38 or at most 39 degrees, and Tabletennis11 will send you the hardness that you tell them. 40 degrees Hurricane is impossible to use, in my opinion, without a booster.

#240February 2022

Excellent rubber.

#241February 2022

With this rubber, I need to work a lot.

#242February 2022

The spin is crazy on this rubber; now I understand why it’s called a hurricane. This rubber is thick and sticky and adds spin easily. You’re going to have to hit the ball a bit harder because the ball doesn’t bounce that much from it; kind of great for beginners to get them to learn how to spin the ball more often.

#243February 2022

The Butterfly Tenergy 05 rubber is an High-performance rubber that offers great speed and spin. It provides excellent control and feel as well. The tackiness of the rubber allows for great spin generation on serves and loops. The rubber is also durable and long-lasting. I highly recommend this rubber for players looking to improve their game.

#244December 2021

Got the rubber earlier than DSL had projected and I have adjusted to the rubbers fairly quickly since starting to play with them. They were fairly easy to put on the racket and I haven’t had any complaints since!

#245November 2021

It is a very good rubber with lots of grip. The only drawback of this rubber is that it gets slippery in humid playing conditions and if you don’t give it a decent wipe, it will definitely affect your game badly. I’m sure DHS has fixed this issue in their national version.

#246November 2021

At first it felt dull. But you have to be patient with it and make it spin. It comes to life little by little. It becomes as fast as you want. Very stable. Good rubber for developing technique. I tried it on forehand.

#247November 2021

The Hurricane Neo was a rubber that helped me develop my style. Mr. Sergei recommended this rubber to me, and I was surprised that he liked it as well. It is sticky and slow and helps me work on my drive and basics. Thank you Tabletennis11.

#248November 2021

Better for choppers and defensive players than for attackers.

#249October 2021

This rubber is difficult to use and master. It will require a significant adaptation time when switching from European rubbers, and on offensive shots, it requires real physical work. You cannot afford to be lazy with footwork and technique.

However, if you do put in the effort, the rubber is very rewarding as it produces great shots. It can generate a lot of spin. To my surprise, it also has really good control when needed. Its greatest strength is in counter-tops.

Price is also a great plus. I recommend taking advantage of the good price and not keeping your old rubber for too long. I made the mistake of using one for too long and I realized it behaved very differently. I recommend a protection sheet + rejuvenating product and keeping it for 3 months.

#250October 2021

I enjoy playing with this rubber, even without boosting.

#251October 2021

I think it’s excellent for all players who look for spinny balls and attackers.

#252September 2021

High-spin rubber with exceptional control! I know many people boost these, but I don’t and even un-boosted it’s still a great rubber. Not sure anything compares at the same price.

#253September 2021

With an Off+ blade, you can use this rubber unboosted with tons of control.

#254September 2021

Slow speed rubber, you need to apply a significant amount of effort with this rubber.

#255August 2021

Good penhold backhand rubber.

#256August 2021

Received the rubber as expected. I have been using Chinese tacky rubbers for quite some time now. You will be delivered with what you seek here to any part of the globe in the shortest span of time you can imagine. Thanks so much, Tabletennis11, for being the game-changers across the globe!!

#257August 2021

Bought it for a friend. He says it is faster than the usual Hurricane 3. The spin is the same.

#258August 2021

It is a rubber that is soft, but if you only place the racket, the ball will hardly pass the net, it has very good control for blocking.
With good technique, the rubber facilitates topspin shots and loops.
It is sticky.

#259July 2021

My first piece of advice for this commercial version is to not try to use it without a booster. If you don’t like boosting, go for another rubber. I tried the national blue sponge (non-neo) and compared to this, it is like a totally different rubber (totally worth the price difference) but also needs boosting. For this price, it is not bad; you might want to try it. If you don’t like boosting and want a replacement for Chinese hard rubbers, you may want to try the Rakza Z xh, although it is heavier.

#260June 2021

Considering this is a sub $25 rubber that you can sometimes get for $17 when on sale, it’s remarkable given the competition at this price range. It is a little bit weird at first to get used to because I mostly played with European rubbers before, but after a couple of practice sessions, it felt right at home. The rubber is on the slow side, but if you play close to the table, that’s not an issue; even at mid-distance, it performs well. I’d say the strong side of this rubber is definitely the spin and control. It’s amazing what kind of spin you can get out of this rubber. All in all, for the price you pay, you get an amazing rubber that will surprisingly last quite a while.

#261June 2021

Using it on Yasaka Carbon 3D Max…unbelievably spinny rubber I have ever come across…Tabletennis11, hats off to their delivery timing.

#262June 2021

There are many different types of table tennis rubbers out there, each with their own unique characteristics and playstyles. It can be overwhelming trying to choose the right one for you. In this review, I will be discussing two popular rubbers: the Butterfly Tenergy 05 and the DHS Hurricane 3.

First, let’s talk about the Butterfly Tenergy 05. This rubber is known for its excellent spin and speed capabilities. It has a spring sponge that provides a high level of energy transfer during shots. The top sheet is also tacky, which helps with generating spin. Overall, the Tenergy 05 is a great choice for offensive players who rely on spin and speed.

On the other hand, we have the DHS Hurricane 3. This rubber is favored by many professional players for its control and durability. It has a hard sponge that allows for strong, consistent shots. The tackiness of the rubber also helps with generating spin. The Hurricane 3 is better suited for players who prioritize control and placement over speed.

In conclusion, both the Butterfly Tenergy 05 and the DHS Hurricane 3 are excellent rubbers, but they cater to different playstyles. If you’re an offensive player who loves to crank up the spin and speed, go for the Tenergy 05. If you prefer a more controlled and consistent game, the Hurricane 3 is the way to go. Ultimately, the best rubber for you will depend on your individual preferences and playing style.

#263May 2021

Nice spin and control. Good speed and a low arc. Fast delivery.

#264April 2021

Excellent.

#265March 2021

I have been using this rubber after boosting it. It can create a lot of spin. This is a good tacky rubber at an inexpensive price.

#266March 2021

Excellent rubber, great control and spin. The key element is the booster. You should use a Haifu booster, and it is too heavy for me. The balance is more suited for the forehand, and I prefer a slightly heavier rubber on the backhand. So it’s not for me. But overall, a great rubber.

#267February 2021

The best rubber for forehand, boosted.

#268January 2021

Balanced control and speed.

#269January 2021

Good rubber! Very sticky and spinny. However, due to its stickiness, dirt always easily sticks onto it. Good budget rubber, no wonder it is a top seller!

#270January 2021

In terms of sponge hardness, I can’t find a way of knowing. Sometimes softer others harder and that makes a lot of difference. I’ve played with H₃ with 39 Chinese degrees sponge, I think that corresponds to European/Japanese 50 degrees and suits me better. All in all, a good product.

#271January 2021

With good looping technique, players need power and strength to bring the most out of this rubber without boosting. The tacky surface and slightly hard sponge compared to tensor rubber, but with full strokes, it delivers great performance.

#272November 2020

Отличная накладка, требующая определенных навыков и знаний техники.

#273November 2020

Very nice, I love this rubber on my forehand. Very good control.

#274June 2020

Hard, sticky, no bounce - a Chinese rubber classic. What I really don’t like about it is the awful smell, which penetrates even the racket case and makes my room smell like fish.

#275April 2020

Best rubber for forehand.

#276April 2020

When placing the order, it is necessary to specify that they come in pairs, as for quick delivery they may send them in a single color.

#277April 2020

This is a very nice rubber. I have tried many different rubbers and usually come back to H3 neo. I use it on my backhand, unlike many who prefer it on their forehand. For me, it helps me with chops, quick flicks, blocks, and consistent backhand loops. It works well on carbon as well as wood blades.

#278March 2020

I have been using it for a long time and it is very good.

#279March 2020

I bought these for my BH and FH and initially wasn’t happy as I put them on a DHS G7 OFF+ blade (all wood), then I switched it to my old carbon blade (3D Max Carbon) and am extremely happy with the overall way the rubbers play. Good speed and spin with control. I struggled a bit at first to change from a very soft Xiom on BH but now I’m used to it, no complaints.

#280February 2020

I use this rubber on a Nittaku Septear 7 Ply Hinoki Bat on the Forehand. I am really satisfied with the amount of spin on service. On the receive, it’s forgiving because the tackiness absorbs a lot of spin somehow. I am not a big looper but go straight for a hard smash or powerspin on the forehand, and that’s where the rubber really shines. Low trajectory but still on the table, very precise. Overall, I recommend this rubber. But be aware that I play it on hinoki, which gives a better feel and touch than most other blades.

#281February 2020

DHS para mí siempre ha sido bueno, con goma pegajosa y un precio muy bueno. Es verdad que dentro de la gama DHS es de nivel medio o menor, pero cumple su función en el combate.

#282January 2020

This rubber provides great control and spin. I highly recommend it for players of all levels. The rubber feels very smooth and is easy to play with. It has improved my game significantly.

#283January 2020

Spinny, mine was kind of soft and didn’t work well on Tibhar VS Limited Edition blade. Can’t smash, spinny and couldn’t power through a lot of balls and would overshoot the table. I would recommend it to people who have one stroke to win the point. Requires classical strokes and continuous spinny attack, no real variation allowed.

#284December 2019

Too slow, it seems like the ball hits a surface of cotton.

#285November 2019

This is a good, fast rubber. I used a 2.15 red on the forehand with Yasaka Goiabao 5 blade. Top spins are very good, chops are good in some aspects and not so in others. Being this combo very bouncy, chops always lift the ball over the net; however, I couldn’t enjoy much success dropping the ball just next to the net. This seems to be better for far to long distance plays with faster blades.
What I don’t like the most is that it smells very bad.

#286November 2019

I am using this rubber for my FH. It controls the opponent’s spin and lifts the ball close to the net. You have to give a little effort. It’s amazing.

#287October 2019

Awesome product, will definitely order again soon.

#288October 2019

Review text:

Very tricky to use the rubber. Very slow. Previously, I used DHS Hurricane 2, which I find is still better than this. Let’s see these are initial reviews.

#289October 2019

Una de las gomas más accesibles con buen efecto y buena velocidad.

#290August 2019

I grew up playing Friendship 729. Later, I went on a hiatus, playing Euro-Japanese rubbers. I have never played with DHS products before. The most recent rubbers I have used are Rakza and Tenergy 05 FX. Therefore, I did not expect how lively this rubber is after tuning.
I did some research and bought Falco long tempo booster and put several layers on it, 24 hours apart between each layer. The booster does not smell toxic at all because it should not contain volatile elements.
Initially, I was concerned because when the rubber is not broken in and the surface remains very sticky, the ball does not bounce when you just try hitting the ball up in the air at home. But 10-15 minutes into playing at the club, I feel a big difference. This rubber allows me to play a good short game which is not possible with high tension rubbers because balls just bounce off those rubbers right away. I feel very confident in my loops. My serve is better too. I am definitely sticking with DHS Hurricane 3 Neo on my forehand side. It is a great rubber at this price range. In addition, I have no desire to try the provincial or national versions because I am so happy with this commercial version as it is.

#291July 2019

Good rubber, excellent service as always by Tabletennis11.

#292June 2019

I have always had a very soft rubber on my forehand, but this rubber is very hard. It is also the best I’ve ever used. Incredibly tacky and a very good price.

#293May 2019

Extreme tension on the ball through the contact point yet VERY slow. I wouldn’t recommend it without a fast, hard blade.

#294March 2019

I have been using this rubber on my forehand for more than 1 year. I simply love it.

#295January 2019

Fantastic rubber. If you have quick feet and are fully engaged, you will really get good speed and great spin. If you are lazy or late, the rubber will really let you know as your strokes suffer greatly.

#296January 2019

High quality product! TT11 service is the best! It is the most reliable website in the world of table tennis.

Obs.: If you want speed, you will have to use two layers of Booster.

#297January 2019

Good rubber.

#298December 2018

This rubber is way too hard to play with without boosting. When playing without a booster, you need to really put all your energy into the shot to get a decent result. After boosting with Falco Long Booster (5-6 coats), it became a spinning machine. But the procedure of boosting takes a long time (2-3 weeks), so it’s not worth it. Buy a tensor instead.

#299November 2018

Very spinny rubber. Excellent quality. Real Chinese rubber. Requires good physical and technical preparation. Good price and fast shipping!

#300November 2018

It is the H3 Neo, good for players who play Chinese style, full aggressive when possible. TT11 made a quick delivery, very good job! Also in great condition!

#301October 2018

Tried on both FH and BH using different thicknesses. It has pretty good spin, but I would say it lacks speed. I was using Donic Coppa Gold before this, and now I find it hard to adjust my shot speed. I keep hitting the net. I might need more time getting used to it. Will give another review after I become familiar.

#302October 2018

I’ve been using this for a long time for my FH and recently decided to use it for my BH as well. The results were better than I expected. I always thought this rubber was intended for FH, but right now I feel it’s just as good (if not better) for spinny BH shots.

#303October 2018

A fantastic rubber for an under-spin defensive strategy. It has excellent spin potential, and you can keep the ball on the surface of the rubber to control the opponent’s spin and vary your return. Smashes or counter loops are not as fast, but you don’t sacrifice too much.

#304October 2018

Definitely, this is one of the best rubbers for any playing style.

#305October 2018

It’s my first custom rubber, and I am using it on the backhand. A very good item.

#306October 2018

It’s the best Chinese tacky rubber. Speed is a little less, and I think it should be speedier. Control is very good due to its tacky power. Chop is very sharp. I am using it for my backhand power.
It’s very good for low and slow serves.

For more detail, visit the page below-
https://youtu.be/s9CkLJ3NJaQ.

#307October 2018

Power is what these table tennis rubbers are all about. They provide a significant boost to my shots and have really improved my game. I highly recommend them to any player looking to add more power to their game.

#308September 2018

Great rubber for a wonderful price! Very tacky; puts a lot of spin on the ball. Used for 2 months straight in a dusty environment and cleaned it regularly, and it still is very tacky. In my opinion, it has a decent dwell time to help the ball stick to the rubber. It is a little slow, but if you hit the ball hard and fast enough, you won’t miss out on speed.

#309September 2018

Received one with a weird tinted color on it. It doesn’t greatly affect the performance, just slightly less tacky.

#310September 2018

I like this rubber. Grippy and good speed. Boosted it with Falco Tempo long booster. Two layers and you have the perfect rubber. The topsheet is very durable. I found what I was looking for.

#311September 2018

Great, affordable rubber with good control and spin.

#312September 2018

I have 4 blades with the same rubber.

#313August 2018

Goma con muy buen giro, buen control y velocidad no muy rápida.

#314July 2018

If you don’t mind the smell, this is a very good rubber for forehand.

#315July 2018

I ordered this rubber for my BH. A bit too hard for me. It needs to break in. Prefer Provincial NEO.

#316July 2018

Muy buena goma, tiene buen adhesivo al pegar por primera vez.

#317July 2018

Excellent! Affordable and a very good rubber for the forehand.

#318June 2018

Muy buena goma, es necesario entrenar bastante para acostumbrarse a su velocidad.

#319June 2018

Muy buenas gomas de bastante efecto y buen ataque, hay que practicar bastante para acostumbrarse a la velocidad.

#320June 2018

I have had the opportunity to use this rubber on many blades, ranging from all wood to composite. I found that it has worked well for me on all blade types, while at the same time providing me a reference point in evaluating the blade speed itself. It is an “honest” rubber, always providing great spin qualities. It is priced for the real world, which is rare these days with table tennis rubbers, and as such it’s easy to have a couple around. Job well done, DHS!

#321May 2018

Lipicioasă.
Dar e nevoie de depus mai multă muncă pentru top spin.
Fetele sunt tari.

#322May 2018

Product is good. Sticky, combination of fast and slow. Often needs to wipe the rubber as it catches dust easily. Bit difficult for players who play close to the table. Overall, it’s a good rubber.

#323April 2018

Tried H3 Neo on a Yasaka Extra Offensive blade. Overall feeling is about the same as regular H3. It has a more elastic sponge and offers better control than H3. The speed is also a tiny bit faster than regular H3. I like H3 Neo. It suits my play style well, but I still prefer the regular H3. If you like H3 but feel it’s a bit too hard, you might like H3 Neo more.

#324April 2018

Muy duradero, ya que es un hule muy duro. Es muy bueno para el FH pero no para el BH.

#325April 2018

One of the best FH rubbers. Every player just has to try it!

#326April 2018

Best for looping, I love the accuracy of this rubber. Before, I was using the Mark V. My loops were inconsistent and less accurate. With this, my gameplay changed a lot. I was able to experiment a lot with this rubber. I totally love it!

#327March 2018

Review text:

Not quite as fast as I expected.

Good spin and grip.

Happy customer for now; next time, I’ll get the same rubber with the maximum 2.2mm cushion.

#328March 2018

They smell awful!

#329March 2018

Цепкость очень высокая, скорости особо нет, при открытии вакуумной упаковки невыносимый запах, который будет беспокоить вас долго!

#330February 2018

Good tacky rubber. Less powerful unless you put power on your strokes. Sometimes, the blocks end up hitting the net. But very good for loops/counter loops with side spins. It’s been over a month now for me with this rubber on my forehand, and I’m getting used to it. I think Neo 3 is suited for full loop strokes, not for short/net shots.

#331February 2018

Interesting rubber. Slightly unusual feelings compared to the fast Tibhar MX P. Not fast on blocks and countering, even slow, the rebound is weak. But on topspins it fully redeems itself, the speed increases noticeably. It can be said that this rubber is only for spin gameplay.

#332February 2018

Buena goma, muy buen spin, no tan rápida como quisiera, pero me gusta por el spin que tiene.

#333February 2018

Цепкая, но без бустера не пойдет. Также требовательна к технике с полным замахом руки, без выхода ногами хороший топс сделать проблематично. Подрезка и подачи с хорошим вращением и близко к сетке.

#334January 2018

Destroyed everyone.

#335January 2018

Good rubber. I use it on my forehand. I take care of it and replace it every couple of months. Good control.

#336January 2018

Great rubber, it definitely needs boosting. Without booster, it feels very dead, demanding in terms of technique. Once you get used to it, it offers great speed with a lot of spin. Especially for such a price.

#337January 2018

Very controlled and spinny rubber. If you need speed, just hit harder. Serving and receiving are excellent, and so is looping with it. It is not as tacky as I was expecting, but it is still very good.

#338December 2017

Good for Chinese-style attacking (forehand). Slow and spinny.

#339December 2017

I always liked these, especially at the price. Unfortunately, I have drifted away from the Chinese rubbers because they are a little difficult to control at times and don’t last as long as some. Highly recommended, though.

#340December 2017

The rubbers themselves are not bad, especially for such a price, there is one downside - they smell awful :).

#341December 2017

I have really enjoyed using this rubber and got it for a friend of mine who plays a similar style to me. The rubber is capable of producing incredible amounts of spin when looping as long as your technique is good. Fantastic forehand rubber.

It is a little slower when playing away from the table.

#342December 2017

Excellent rubber, especially for backhand topspin and chop. It really is made for the backhand and I highly recommend it. Thank you TT11 for fast delivery and satisfying products.

#343December 2017

The rubber is tacky and durable.

#344November 2017

The rubber is something I have never played with before. It absolutely suits my play style, and the gears in this rubber are the best. It can range from a very slow push to a rocket.

#345November 2017

I tried this rubber and at first thought it was too slow - coming from a tensor rubber. After a couple of weeks of hitting with it, I realized it is the most dynamic rubber out there. H3 allows you to hit the ball as slow as you want or as fast as you want. It is solely up to you and your mechanics. If you are a European style looper and have a lot of tension in your arm when you swing, this rubber is not for you. This is for players who can explode with a relaxed arm. The power comes from you. The harder and faster you swing, the faster the ball goes. At the opposite end, its tacky top sheet allows you to spin the ball well on serves and pushes and also allows for great placement. I cannot count how many times I hit winners because of placement. For the price, it doesn’t hurt to try it. This is a very durable rubber. I have hit the table a few times with this rubber with no damage to the top sheet. I’m sticking with H3.

#346November 2017

Really good rubber as usual.

#347November 2017

Pretty good for loop/driving poly balls (I’m talking about the good ones) at close/mid distance.

Very spinny but controllable. Obvious advantages on serves and third ball attacks. Easy to lift backspin if you engage the sponge. Still the slowest on the neo series in my opinion, very important to activate the sponge in order to gain speed.

Recommend playing without booster for at least one year, then when you know how this rubber works, you can start boosting. Few rubbers can surpass boosted H3neo.

#348October 2017

Good rubber with good spin.

#349October 2017

It wasn’t the best. I didn’t have high expectations considering the price. I just needed something for occasional/recreational use. It didn’t make sense to pay more when I expected to not use it that much.

#350September 2017

Great rubber, but you need to learn how to play with it. It needs boosting, 2-3 layers of Falco Long, definitely.

#351September 2017

Great tacky rubber for FH. Also good for BH.
I’m using it on Donic Waldner Carbon Senso JO Shape.

#352September 2017

Excellent rubber. Currently, it’s in line waiting to be boosted and placed on a carbon max 3D racket. I love this rubber on hard blades, it gives so much great control. It is great for loops, topspins, smashes, and chops. Please use Xtreme Revolution booster as it increases the weight minimally compared to Falco.

#353August 2017

Excellent for looping! Not too fast but really spinny.

#354August 2017

Very good Chinese rubber for players who are increasing their topspin and looping skills. I recommend using booster because the speed is very slow.

#355August 2017

Tacky and bites the ball perfectly.

#356August 2017

For the price, this rubber is awesome, offering lots of speed and spin. I use it for my forehand, and it’s very consistent.

#357July 2017

It’s a good forehand rubber with tons of spin.

#358July 2017

Es la goma perfecta para mi derecha, aunque realmente no he visto grandes diferencias entre la blue sponge y esta. Solamente que es mucho más económica, con gran control y potencia. El spin me queda a deber un poco.

#359June 2017

Just started using this rubber a few months ago. Very satisfied so far. Actually ordering more today! Will monitor how long it lasts.
Thanks,
Mike.

#360June 2017

It’s a good forehand rubber. Heavy spin can be generated, still sticky and tacky.

#361June 2017

Paired the Hurricane N 3 with Viscaria FL blade. They were made for each other. Very tacky rubber, excellent for near and midway play from the table. I use it as a BH rubber, with a Donic M3 as my FH. Paired with a blade with amazing control, it takes the game to another level altogether. Thank you to tabletennis11 for good packaging and quick delivery. Oh! By the way, this shipped to India, and again, I’m grateful to tabletennis11 for making it available to us in this part of the world.

#362June 2017

I have been using DHS Hurricane 3 Neo [Red Colour, 2.1mm] on my forehand side [one side only] for the past two months. My style is based on heavy looping with a long backswing and a complete follow-through action. This rubber suits my style perfectly well. It imparts great spin on the ball, and at the same time allows me to place the ball with precision. Furthermore, with ‘H3 Neo’ one can hit a reasonable flat smash also. It is slightly weak in speed, but a reasonable zip-style player can always compensate for it with consistent heavy looping. Great value for money.

#363June 2017

An excellent attacking rubber. I’ve been playing with this rubber on my backhand for a couple of months now and I’ve been loving it. PROS: Fast and very spinny. Excellent looping abilities with this rubber. CONS: (Like I said, I’ve been playing with this on my backhand with NO problems) Blocking and punching are harder to control than when you loop it. I’ve found if you just hold your paddle and let the ball react, it’s going to fly all over the place. Just make sure that you do move your racket a little for every hit. If you ONLY block or punch, then I would recommend finding a different rubber, but it’s not terrible for this. This also works amazingly on your FH as well. You can still generate a LOT of spin and speed, but it has a medium-hard sponge so the throw angle is quite low. I hope this helps… THIS IS AN HONEST REVIEW AND I AM NOT GETTING ANYTHING FROM IT. I greatly recommend Table Tennis Eleven. They have as good or better prices and the shipping is quite fast. Thank you, Table Tennis Eleven! :)

#364June 2017

DHS Hurricane 3 Neo is a good rubber to use for hitting loopy forehand and backhand topspins. I was able to hit topspin even on heavy chop/spin coming from the server. Pushing and chopping is also effective. That being said, the rubber is slow.

Considering the price point, go for this rubber if you want to hit looping topspins. It generates heavy spin on them.

#365May 2017

Very good material. Enough spin. Lacks speed.

#366May 2017

I honestly do not think the commercial version of this rubber is suitable for penhold or RPB players. No doubt it is a classic and one of the best rubbers in the world, but penholders are much better off with Skyline series. When it comes to provincial or national versions, it is a whole other story.

#367April 2017

Not enough power as I would have hoped.

Looking forward to much better quality of supply in terms of speed, power, stability, and spin.

#368April 2017

Not enough power as I had hoped for.

#369April 2017

Most people only use it for FH, but I use it for BH as well with no problem.

#370April 2017

Does everything I expected!

#371April 2017

Very good quality spin, but if you want more power, combine it with a strong blade.

#372March 2017

I thought that this rubber would be slow compared to the Rakza 9 that I bought it with. Each one of them needs a completely different stroke, so if I do a Rakza 9 motion with the Hurricane, the ball would spin like hell but with no speed. The Hurricane needs a forward motion for it to be good. After getting used to it, I can say its value for money ratio is the best!

Very spinny but tends to accumulate a lot of dust really fast. I have been playing daily since I got it for 2-4 hours a day. It has held up really well.

#374March 2017

Good rubber with good spin. Maybe a bit slower than other rubbers, but I liked that. Tabletennis11 service was exceptional as always.

#375February 2017

It probably does not matter, but it smells bad when opened; the smell is gone after a few days. It plays great (after treatment) on the FH.

HURRICANE 3 is ONE OF THE BEST PRODUCTS FROM DHS. Tabletennis11.com has a great product both in price and quality.

#377February 2017

It’s good for looping, but not fast.

#378February 2017

Develops good speed, very effective at countering.

#379January 2017

Good effect and control.

#380January 2017

This is a great product with a great purchase experience!

#381December 2016

Sticky and slow. Looping is good, but flat hitting and blocking are bad. There is a reason this rubber is selling at this price.

#382December 2016

Best rubber so far. Inexpensive and huge spin. What’s not to like?

#383December 2016

Nice rubber, but needs more power.

#384November 2016

Excellent rubber for forehand spin and attack-oriented players, but not good for passive/defensive strokes.

#385November 2016

It lost the tackiness within an hour of the play. While my friends have neo 3’s stickiness still maintained after weeks. Though, good rubber for all the shots required. Recommended for close-to-table players.

#386August 2016

Good product. Great performance. Does its job well, especially considering drive and speed. Not much control for blocking. Good for those who play close to the table.

#387July 2016

When I first tried it on my forehand, I could not learn how to use it after about a month. I like using softer rubbers for the feeling and touch. I switched after a month. However, the price is great, and my friend likes it.

#388July 2016

This is a rubber of the kind “what you put into it, you get out of it”. It needs good technique and rewards that. Great to learn good technique. Slightly to medium tacky, rock hard but dead sponge. I ordered it in red, max.

#389June 2016

Review text:

  • It grips the ball like a monkey grips a banana. It has good control, but if you put it on a fast carbon blade, then you will have to improve your technique greatly and use your footwork even more.
  • It’s a rubber for a player that takes the physicality of the game very seriously.
  • It allows the player to hit with confidence.
  • It requires a lot of control from the player.
#390May 2016

La goma se ajusta muy bien al revés, es muy rápida y hace un arco excelente. Tiene buen control y el precio es excelente.

#391April 2016

This is a cheap yet good quality rubber. This rubber is suitable for loopers. This rubber works really nicely as long as you get the strokes done correctly. The feeling of the rubber is soft when it hits the ball; you can feel it when the ball hits, and I would say it is one of the rubbers that gives you spin when serving the ball, although it depends mostly on your strokes for service. In my opinion, this rubber is best for mid-range table play.

#392March 2016

This is my main FH rubber, simply because I find it can do it all for me. Loop, smash, touch, drive, chop and lob. And it’s reasonably priced, which makes it a no-brainer.

I find that when I brush loop properly (still not quite consistent enough), people in my local club have big problems containing the spinny loop.

#393February 2016

DHS H3 Neo is a very good forehand rubber; however, on the backhand, it lacks a bit on the blocks and punches. With H3 Neo, one can do anything, from low spinny loop all the way to fast drives, though it is not very forgiving. Boosting is extremely recommended.

#394February 2016

Best rubber I have ever used to date. Control is very good.

#395February 2016

I love it. Hard sponge and tacky topsheet make for awesome blocks and nasty topspins. I find it easier to speed the game up and slow it down with these types of rubbers, it just takes a little more getting used to. It doesn’t have the same feeling as a soft euro rubber. It also has a disadvantage in returning serves, but if the basis of your game is topspin or just creating spin, this is a good choice. I also love the neo sponge; it’s not as dead as other Chinese rubbers.

#396December 2015

This was tacky out of the package. Not too tacky, but tacky enough and initially, the rubber felt hard and deadish. After playing with it for some time, the rubber performs better. Though its appearance from black and glossy finish was turned into dull black, but played the same. Now, game play details. Spin and serves are awesome. The ball never goes out of the table on the second bounce no matter how much power you apply to spin. Meaning serves are excellent. Close table chops are great, and flicks are good also. But you need to get into position early enough to make good contact. Topspin is great, the opening is the best. Counter is slower compared to tensors or Japanese sponge, but the ball lands on the table if your shots are good, and for me, that is enough as I like to play topspins more. Mid-distance - power has to be applied, if the blade is dwelly, it would have been good. Since I use the YEO, not that much dwell. Its Chinese rubber and a good quality one. Thanks tt11 for quick delivery. Loved the way you responded to mails. Service is top-notch. Hope you keep serving us like this!

#397December 2015

Many people have said it better than I could. Great rubber! Quality service at a good price.

#398November 2015

Nice rubber with a good price. Thank you TT11.

#399November 2015

This is a 100% original review.
Great site.

#400November 2015

Good enough speed and control. Spin is a killer. Serves are very effective. Unlike Chinese rubbers, this is not heavy, you will not regret it. Go for it.

#401October 2015

This rubber can do it all. Forehand or backhand, it inspires confidence and can take you from a beginner to #1 in the world.

#402October 2015

This rubber will reward when played with good and physical technique due to its tacky, slow speed characteristic. It is a lightweight rubber and well made for the price.

#403October 2015

Very good rubber, a little bit slow like all Chinese rubbers, but with some technique adjustments plays very well, with a lot of spin and control.

#404June 2015

Not used yet, only got it because I trusted the other reviews.

#405May 2015

Wie gesagt, der Belag ist einfach top. Vor allem ein super Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Kann nur weiterempfohlen werden.

#406April 2015

Very good rubber.

#407April 2015

DHS Hurricane has been around for quite some time and is still a preferred rubber if you do not want to spend too much. With good discounts on this site, the deal becomes even sweeter.

#408December 2014

It is a hard rubber, but not difficult to control. The speed and power are great. High throw angle makes it quite easy for looping. The tackiness is not as good as all other H3 products but still enough. Highly recommended.

#409September 2014

Like most Chinese rubbers, DHS Hurricane 3 Neo is no exception in terms of performance. It smelled like rotten fish for a while, but the odor faded after a month.

#410September 2014

Less tacky than I thought it would be :) But good rubber overall!!.

#411September 2014

I am trying this rubber for my BH. It gives excellent spinny loops with rather good control.

#412September 2014

Spin and control are excellent and it is reasonably priced. It is extremely tacky. I had no trouble adjusting my style to the possibilities that this rubber offers. The only downside is that it smells like hell.

#413August 2014

Good attacking rubber, especially for forehand.

#414August 2014

Great product!

#415July 2014

Great value rubber with lots of spin. I used a 2.2mm sponge and it is very slow! I wish I had bought a faster rubber.

#416June 2014

Review text:

Very hard sponge and tack, high throw angle. The control is good, but you need to have good skills to use it.

#417May 2014

This rubber is a bit slow. If you like fast rubbers, avoid it. But the spin is crazy, with a high throw angle. Very good to play next to the table and block.

#418April 2014

DHS Hurricane 3 Neo: See on mõeldud poolkiireks rünnakuks. Kummil on hea kontroll ja pööre. Seda saab mängida nii ründe kui ka kaitse versioonina. Soovitan OFF + alusele, muidu jääb kumm liiga tuhmiks.

#419March 2014

Good for control and attacking rubber…used it with Yasaka blade.

#420February 2014

My topspin is going very well. Loops - slow loop and more spin. The opponent can’t estimate our loops easily so it’s difficult to block. Rubber physical status - hard sponge, heavy weight rubber, and sticky.

If your game is slow, it will slow the speed. If hit hard, it will release more speed because of the hard sponge.

#421January 2014

Use this rubber together with Falcon. Powerful rubber.

#422January 2014

Good rubber, but don’t use it for Donic Black Devil.

#423December 2013

FH Hurricane 3 Neo + BH Skyline 2 NEO = DHS (DOUBLE HAPPINESS).

Good spin, medium hardness, high wear resistance.

#424December 2013

Very good rubber. I use red Hurricane for forehand and Tenergy 64 for backhand. It is quite hard when you get it out of the packaging, but if you play with it from time to time, it will get softer like Tenergy 64.

#425September 2013

I use this for my forehand and it’s pretty decent for its price. Again, it’s entry-level, so once you get used to this you may want to upgrade to provincial or national, which isn’t easy to acquire.

#426August 2013

See my previous review!
Black and red is the same.

#427August 2013

Firstly, what a wonderful aroma that greets your nose when you open it first!
It has an amazing amount of tack, which aids control against any heavy spin.
In my opinion, the sponge is softer than Hurricane 3. This adds to the overall feel, which we all desire.
It is the most tremendous rubber I have used in service and once you get used to it, your arsenal is almost complete.
It is not the fastest rubber on the market, but you can pick your spot, and improve your timing and technique.
Practice well and you will see why Wang Liqin is involved with DHS.

#428July 2013

Fast and effective.

#429July 2013

Best affordable rubber for the forehand.

#430June 2013

It’s quite tacky. This is my first experience with Chinese rubber. Not sure about the performance as of now.

#431June 2013

Quality for the money you pay. Just smells strange.

#432June 2013

Rubber is fantastic. It takes some time to get used to it. I am using this on my backhand, especially good for players who play from mid distance.

#433June 2013

Excellent Speed
Excellent Spin

both for FH.

#434May 2013

Good and good value for money.

#435May 2013

Very good rubber.

#436April 2013

Nice rubber.

#437April 2013

I have the Tibhar Light Contact IV blade and this rubber is very good for spin, spin on spin, and blocks. Control is good. I am satisfied with this rubber, but for me it’s better on the backhand. For forehand, I use Tibhar Energy 05, and it’s the best for my style of play. This is my impression after 7 trainings.

#438April 2013

Good Chinese rubber, good for close and mid-distance topspin play.

#439March 2013

Price and quality are good.

#440March 2013

I use this on my forehand. I tried a bunch of rubbers, and this is the first that allows me to topspin with full power without making the ball go over the table. I think it’s because of the hardness (it’s a hard rubber) and the tackiness of the rubber. It’s not that expensive. Every topspin forehand attacker should give this a try. It even allows for a controlled short game also.

#441March 2013

I am a great Yasaka fan, and when I was looking for a new blade to match a pair of Hurricanes Neo 3, I saw the great price at TT11.
But some reviews I saw were a bit concerned about the blade control.
Let me tell you that this blade has a great handle (FL) and combined with rubbers with good control, works fantastic, a bit on the heavy side, but you get used to it.
With this and the Hurricanes, I can block heavy top spins very, very close to the table.
Comparing with my old Stiga Allround Classic, you feel it is more rigid and the wood does not vibrate as it used to with my Stiga.

Great product, great price.

#442March 2013

I just bought 2 neo (red and black) 2.2mm, and a Yasaka Max Wood blade.

Wonderful work, very professional from TT11 in assembling and cutting the rubbers (fast delivery also by the way, I live in Portugal)

The first impression after 6 hours of training is very good. Great control as it blocks very nicely and attack near and far from table is easy. What remains in my mind is that I felt very confident playing with it. The serves are powerful with lots of spinning. These are great all-rounders and you may not get the speed that some tensors have but still enough to smash and loop well. Again a great sense of control (backhand and forehand).

Thanks TT11 for the advice.

#443February 2013

Surface is tacky, but if you play in a dusty place, the rubber will lose a lot of its tackiness in an hour’s play. However, it will still be tacky enough.

This rubber is very reactive to incoming spin. So if you receive a quick return that also has some side spin and you just try to block it, then there is a lesser chance that the ball lands on the other side. To get it right, you need to take control of the incoming spin and try to impart some of your own. Control otherwise is good. Needless to say, this rubber is spinny, and tackiness allows you to impart spin even with slightly less fast shots.

I used DHS Power G7 (PG7) with this rubber. I’d say that my setup turned out to be slower because of the flexibility it had. Going for a blade which is not as flexible as PG7 might prove to be better.
