Hurricane 3 (Double Happiness/DHS)User rating

3 forum posts  When producing this rubber, technicians had to consider the special requirements the 40mm ball needs. It will be hard to find another rubber that has the same control and despite that, it is also possible to start fast attacking near the table with this rubber.Various Chinese top world ranking players like Liu Guozheng produce evidence of the fact: This rubber provides you with the ideal mixture of control and speed. Take the Chinese feel: A grippy surface and a relatively hard sponge. Just after the first strokes when using the Hurricane 3, you will find the decisive difference.... Speed: 12 User reviews

When I first bought this rubber, it was a Commercial (com) version, although I was unaware of this, being naive thinking all sheets were the same. In spite of this, after having a hit with this rubber, I found a partner. One day, my coach took a look at my racket and informed me about the differences in Hurricane and convinced me to switch rubbers. The problem with com apart from being quite heavy is the pimples on the sponge vary in thickness. Since then, I tried a few tensors and some more Japanese rubber although none of them felt quite the same. Over time, I got my hands on a Provincial (prov) and not long after, a National (nat) version which I assumed to be real. You can really feel the difference when you try the prov or nat versions. Prov is more powerful than commercial and a bit lighter. The top sheets still retains a good fraction of the original tackiness making it my favorite. My preference, like an Anonymous reviewers, is also a hard sponge. The most distinctive feature of the nat version is its light weight. The full top sheet, is lighter than a cut prov (this may be because glued quite a bit). But I know for a fact, its extremely light for a Chinese rubber. The next, was its mildly tacky top sheet. The rubber is average but plays magnificently when glued. 4-6 times did the trick for me in the long run. I glued 4-6 times in the past, I do not glue that many before I play. Snd I used Butterfly Rubber Protection foil to add some tackiness. This made it play like a lighter version or prov. The ultimate murder weapon! In my opinion at least! Ironic how I prefer prov to nat. Hurricane 3 in my perhaps bias opinion, a beastly rubber with or without speed glue. Its speed doesn't compare to tensors but isn't slow either and when put on a fast-ish blade (I like Stiga's variations of Carbon blades) plays fantasticaly! Good for serves, chops and magnificent for loops, Hurricane 3 makes an offensive Chinese style players best friend. It is also nice to smash and flick with. Although I must mention, players may need to adjust their technique to adapt to this rubber. Ultimately preferred on the forehand although backhand does work too. It is also not difficult to control. Value for money is good as even the commercials are quite durable. I'd also say nat is worth the investment if you can get your hands on it. If not implied, I have decided to stick with Hurricane 3 in the long run, as when I play it, I find myself to be playing most consistent and at my absolute best, like as good as Ma Long. ;) *cough*

I guess its because of my playing style which is to loop a lot and chop whenever I need to. I hardly ever flip or flick, whatever you like to call it but whenever I do this rubber never fails me. Having played all 3 types, commercial, provincial and national I can easily say provincial is the best having the hardest sponge which I like since the top sheet is tacky but still shows firmness. Commercial's poor quality is the only thing that stops it from playing extremely well and national just has the softest sponge which I don't particularly like. Excellent for looping, especially mind games creating an extremely high and spinny loop and lower, faster, but still spinny loops. Basically this isn't the fastest rubber around but its definitely not slow. Not exactly sure if its the spinniest but if not, one of them. Good for chops, great for serves, excellent for loops. Best rubber ever made for offensive chinese style - or any style for that matter players. Value for money is alright as well. Commercials are cheap and last long and playing isn't bad at all, just inconsistent because of uneven sponge (by like fractions of a mm). The provincial one costs a bit more and plays much better. Lasts a tiny bit longer. National is pretty expensive but well worth the price. Its pretty durable but not as tacky as the other 2 but faster.

the hurricane 3, very fast, very spinny, hard to control this rubber is best used on a ALL plus or OFF minus blade. it is a very strong attack rubber, but if you use on a OFF plus blade, there is too much speed. you dont need too much and it is very hard to control. i used mine on a stiga tube, which has good control to me. the rubber is very hard sponge, so it feel like the ball just pop right off teh rubber when you loop and block. this is awesome rubber for looping, while you can still do spinny blocks and counterloops as well. good for professional offensive player.
