I tried this in Red, Max sponge on a Yinhe V-14 Pro blade (FH). Weight: 70g uncut and 50g cut. Comparing to DHS Hurricane 3 NEO, 2.15mm, 41 deg. The initial feeling is the same when looping. The main differences are: The throw is a bit lower, it's harder (a bit dead) and it feels a bit heavy. Now I have only used this for a robot session, looping forehand, so hopefully I'll be back with more information... ***Update*** Now I played a short session. I'm starting to like this one more. I stood and blocked in a drill. There is a soft feeling when blocking. Not so springy as H3N, just a softer feel that gives much more control when blocking. Looping still have that lowish throw. One thing I noticed is that it's much harder to turn backspin balls than with H3N. Perhaps I have to adjust my strokes a bit... ***Update*** I turned. Now using this one on backhand, instead of my Andro Hexer Grip SFX / Rasanter R37. It gives me a good feeling, and it's not too springy. Really good for backhand blocking topspins etc. Good feeling over all. The grip makes it more dependable for me on my backhand.
Tried this rubber for 3 hours today. I was pleasantly surprised to the extent I am now considering switching to this rubber on my BH. On FH it's ok - very safe and controlled but lacks the spin and speed of H3 blue sponge. The throw angle is low but again not as low as H3. If your game revolves around spin this rubber has more than enough of speed but flat shots are pretty bad like with other chinese rubbers. In terms of sponge hardness it's kinda hard to tell. I felt like it is definitely harder than H3 H37 that I've tried before and overall it is definitely faster than H3 H37 or something like H8-80. The top sheet is very soft though, great ball pocketing making flicks and topspins quite easy. It's also great away from the table. It's definitely slower than tensors that I'm currently using on BH but it has much more spin and control but you absolutely have to be active all the time. Blocking is probably the worst aspect of this rubber - it's easy to block but it's also very easy for your opponents to attack that block. For the price of around $20 definitely worth a try on BH. For FH I feel like there are better options like Loki Rxton 9 or H3 or Battle 2/3
I play on Yinhe 970XX on this blade it behaves perfectly - the first topspin move at the table is reliable and ruthless. the rubber is thick and therefore will play to the fullest on a hard blade with some flexibility.
