In my opinion, this rubber is quite similar to the provincial version of DHS. The quality has remained consistent over the years, thanks to the excellent quality control implemented by Nittaku.

This is a boosted review. It closely resembles the DHS H3 Neo Provincial. The Nittaku version has sponges that are slightly softer and lighter. The throw angle is not as low as others have claimed; I would categorize it as medium-high, depending on what you were using before.

The DHS H3 Neo Provincial has a slightly higher throw angle compared to the Nittaku H3 Neo and is also a bit faster. Just to clarify, I am comparing both orange boosted sponges.

This is the easiest to use DHS Hurricane 3. The spin and performance are on par with the DHS Hurricane National orange sponge. With a hardness of 39 degrees and a thickness of 2.1 mm, it is perfect for drives, loops, and counterattacks.

This rubber is my version of the best forehand rubber, and I have paired it with the Bty Lin Gaoyuan ALC. When you hit a forehand loop, there is a catapult effect that makes the ball almost unstoppable by the opponent.
