External Review for DHS Hurricane 9 - Blue on July 3, 2024

2. 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 finally, cut to 157 x 150 mm, (heavy) 51 grams. Unfortunately, I couldn't understand the stated sponge hardness of 39 degrees. With my Shore Meter I could only measure 36 degrees!!! This H9 is (glued with conventional solvent-based glue, unboosted!!!) an absolute disaster. (- I hope I didn't buy a fake!!!) No matter how fast the blade is, there is 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.

Its a great rubber. I have been been using it on backhand for a month now. Great topspin and overall speed is good. Forehand looping is a bit harder as the ball sticks to the rubber so more force is required to correctly play the ball. The rubber is on the heavier side so I recommend playing with a carbon blade.

This rubber is heavy ( 73gr uncut and there are no edges), boosted ( smells chemical)and it plays like watching wet paint drying (watching Downtown Abbey is more exciting). The pink one is much better.

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

Very mediocre, bad feeling for the ball. Not really a chinese style rubber.

Just got it allways played Hurricane 3 neo. Wanted this for the looks.
I will write a proper review after using it a couple of weeks.
One year later I did not use this rubber very long.
I went back to Hurricane 3 neo provincial, the looks from blue rubbers is great.
But I prefer other rubbers like Xiom Vega, DHS Hurricane 3, Donic Bluefire.

Review After playing several match:
H9 Blue FH and Pink BH. All 39deg 2.15.
Compare with H3 Prov Blue/Orange 40deg , H8 40 deg, Battle II Pro 40deg all on FH.
NO booster applied.
The feeling is similar to the Hurricane series but with less spin and more speed.
H9 Pink trully a BH rubber with heavy back spin and block so good. It can perform flick really good too. Slow if far from table.H9 Blue can play as FH rubber as it good on all stroke. It spin more than Battle II and faster than H3 (not spin as H3 and slower than Battle II) It depend on your view ? To play H9 Blue , you don't have to brush as much as H3 orange. Just hit more forward like play with H3 Blue or Battle II

Weight: H8 > Battle II > H3 > H9
Speed: H3 Blue > Battle II > H9 Blue > H9 Pink > H8 > H3 Orange
Spin: H3 Orange > H8 > H9 Pink > H9 Blue > Battle II
Predictable: H9 Pink > Battle II = H8 > H9 Blue > H3
H9 Blue #22 sponge also have a kick effect (change arc) like H3 blue when hit the other side of the table if you hit really hard.
Service: H3 > Battle II = H8 > H9 Blue = H9 Pink
Short push: H3 > H8 > H9 Pink > H9 Blue > Battle II
Block: H9 Pink > H8 > Battle II > H9 Blue = H3
Flick: H9 Pink > H8 = Battle II > H9 Blue = H3
Flat hit: H8 = Battle II > H9 Blue = H9 Pink > H3
Top spin loop drive: H3 > Battle II > H8 > H9 Blue > H9 Pink
