It is more like a beginner’s rubber, but the sponge is #22 blue. For some reason, the rubber loses its tackiness in cold weather, maybe because of moist air.

Good sponge, bad top sheet. High control.

  1. Update! Unfortunately, this rubber is sold under two different names: DHS Hurricane 9 Blue and DHS H9 Blue.

Facts:

  • My (blue) H9 in 2.15 mm thickness weighs 96 grams in the original packaging,
  • 70 grams uncut including protective film,
  • And 51 grams when cut to 157 x 150 mm (heavy).

Despite the stated sponge hardness of 39 degrees, my Shore Meter could only measure 36 degrees.

This H9 (glued with conventional solvent-based glue, unboosted!!!) was an absolute disaster. I hope I didn’t buy a fake! No matter how fast the blade, there was simply no speed to be gained from the rubber.

Although it is slightly sticky, it does not even achieve mediocre spin values. Softer, more elastic woods “play along” with it but do not change the completely poor performance. Only the catapult behavior feels higher and more pleasant.

Conclusion:
For me, this rubber is “the master of disaster.” ;-P There are plenty of cheaper rubbers that are better, like Lokis Arthur China or Europe.
