External Review for DHS Hurricane 3 National - Blue Sponge on November 18, 2023

Probably the most spinest rubber. Amazing. There is too easy to control angle of attack. Counter spin is so good. If you search high tensor effect this rubber is not for you :) the best!

I am using this rubber on my forehand with the sponge hardness of 42 and the thickiness of 2.2 and I have to say that is best rubber that I've ever play with, a very good control despite the speed and spin,the short game is fantastic too, for the forehand loop is the best in the world, it gives me the feeling that my forehand at full power will be safe thanks to the tackiness and high arc of the dhs hurricane 3, I think that 100 or more euros for this rubber are money very well spent.I recommend this rubber for people that like to forehand looping,prefers spinny shots over powerful shots and high level players

I have no comment, just a question: Does this rubber, when it is new, need to be treated with a booster?

External Review for DHS Hurricane 3 National - Blue Sponge on July 22, 2022

It's not a backhand rubber.
It's not a tensile rubber, but it still has a lot of energy, but not like ESN rubbers.
You should always work with the angle of your racket open, like most Chinese players.
The spin it produces is huge, in server and attacks and that's the big difference.
Very different from commercial hurricanes, mainly because of the angle and power.
You need to have good movement, technique and power to use this rubber, unlike some ESN rubbers that help you to a certain extent.

Once boosted, it plays like a beast. Brush loops as well as hard placed counters work perfectly well. Spin and touch game is awesome. But looses it's traction quite fast and the rubber is very vunrebale to moisture.

I bought my H3 Nat almost 2 years ago at the Li Sheng sports supermarket, Wangfujing, Beijing for 480 rmb. Highly recommend to visit this place, btw, in case anybody of you guys would come to China. A table tennis shop is located on the third floor there, it's an authorized DHS dealer. 480 rmb is actually more than 70 bucks, so something tells me its price abroad must be 85 bucks at least. More than a year I had been thinking H3 provincial Neo orange sponge is the best version of this rubber. I should say I live in Beijing, play at local clubs and attend classes at the Young Shine/ tt school whose owner is Guo Yan, former two times World Cup, World team championship winner, current Beijing female team's head coach, Ding Ning is actually her player. So my forehand playing is definitely Chinese-like. H3 prov Neo OS is very easy to break in comparing to other versions of the rubber, I used it on a Xiom Vega Tour having hinoki as outer ply, I think most of you knows this wood is actually not a match for Hurricane. At the same time I was playing with a bunch of other H3s on my Xiom Vega Euro: Prov non-neo, Prov Neo Blue sponge, Nittaku nr, Nittaku pro, Nittaku turbo orange. I'd say they are very similar to each other comparing to H3Nat. They are all slow even being tuned (btw, it seems H3Nat responds to tuning better). It's not that bad, btw, as long as you only play with them. But it's very difficult to make yourself to come back to the necessity to work on every stroke if you've already tried H3 Nat. I'd say speed is the only big difference between it and the Provincial. But for many it's the biggest Hurricane's shortcoming

Verrry god rubber!!!!
One of the best ones, especially, if you you play kind of Chinese game style.
I've bought few of these at prott- it's fake or damaged, (I am not sure one or the other, but it plays different than the original one.) but I had some luck to buy one directly from DHS-absolutely different rubber!! MUCH faster, spinier, more consistent!!
At the prott they don't even come in a vacuum package lol. I am not sure how they fake the genuine number, but they do. Don't get me wrong, it isn't the worst rubber out there, just not even close to the one from DHS.
I have increased my rating 200 points roughly, just on the DHS genuine rubber replacement.
Good luck!

Best rubber for fh. Only thing is you gotta work hard with this one , you get what you put in. Dangerous weapon on the right hands. H3 national still has lower throw than what I was use to with European rubber. But still decent and better than other h3 commercial and provincial. I know how to use chiness strokes but find it tireing afterwards, apart from that this rubber is mad.

One thing comes to mind when using this rubber and that is GEARS! I have used this rubber for about four months now playing close to 90 hours a month. This rubber has so many gears and can actually be very demanding rubber. I still think it is excellent rubber, because it can help you win in tough battles as a diverse and vicious weapon. I find I can be more deceptive in my attacks with this rubber than most players can handle (thus far), but it comes at a price of needing to use a lot of discipline when stroking the ball. Price is Insane!
I rate the control high because it does what you ask it to, BUT it will do so many things with the smallest tweek that it is not good for beginners for sure.
Fun to try, great rubber but going back to tenergy05 or trying something new just for fun.
Still been playing with this rubber, and I still find it to be super rubber. After playing now for a while with it I can see that if I wanted to spend the time on it, I think it might have more potential on the forehand side than the tenergy 05. It is however, harder (for me anyway) to use than the 05, but maybe that is just me. huge performance on good strokes......amazing really.

I purchased this rubber on eBay last year for $70 from some guy that lives in Massachusetts USA (he claims these are prototypes??? but curiosity got the better of me and I purchased it anyway). The rubber arrived to Sydney Australia very quick due to express postage, which made me doubt the authenticity even more. When it arrived it, it had no cardboard cover just a sheet of plastic over the rubber with a small circular DHS holographic sticker on the bottom right corner. When I looked at the DHS rubber print and compared side by side with the NEOs, the font is much thicker than the NEOs (font and texts on the NEOs are sharper) which further led me to believe that I had without a doubt, purchased a fake. When compared to commercial H3 NEO, TG2 NEO & TG3 NEO, these are my observations: H3N blue sponge is noticably softer, slightly less tacky, and has a tad less speed than all of the above. But it is the most superior out of all because it has a lot more control and its just feels the best out of the bunch (very surprising). The test blades used were: H3 NEO (DHS PG-7), TG2 NEO (Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive), TG3 NEO (DHS Hurricane Hao) and H3N blue sponge (DHS TG7-CP). I have also tested the DHS Hurricane 8 (medium hardness) on my Viscaria blade, but I can confidently say the H3N BS is superior to that too. Really surpassed my expectations, it is the best forehand rubber I have ever used even though it is probably a fake. I am completely surprised and confused at the same time, but it is what it is. Please be advised that it is a much slower rubber when compared to Tenergy or tensor type rubbers (no catapult effect). However the extra spin you can generate on serves and the superior control of FH touch/pushes in the short game compensates for the slower speed. Once the rubber gets old I will boost it with Falco Tempo Long Booster.

very nice rubber, tried on a friend bat, is spinny on loop, but good for flats, great close to the table game, not to bouncy, but it´s a killer in mid distance game.

First of all, all DHS "national" rubbers in the market ain't tHe real thing, they are just copies or imitations of the nationals pros use, because, nationals are exclusive for CHN national players ONLY. They are VERY LIMITED. You can never buy those, don't be HYPED by others who say what's you gonna get is Genuine unless you get it personally from Ma Long, WLQ, etc.

So the issue of what you might buy being fake or genuine is out of the question.

Anyway, all fakes are designed or made after the real ones, so chances are, its properties were copied from no other than the real thing. Which make this indeed still a great rubber.. take it as consolacion.

Alright, I got one, 2.2 mm 41 deg in my amultart. Which I use for forehand, med-high throw, but serves could be low, so spinny, fast, with a loud sound, as if the ball breaks evry hit. Flips are easy, as well as smash and spin/drive loops, rallies are so easy to be done, chops are deadly, you can play euro style or chinese using this. Almost any shot is done with ease. it's hard to miss a shot when you use this which makes playing table tennis easy and look easier. Smells great from the pack, tune it first for best results!
