Theres so many variants and so much to know about the acclaimed Hurricane 3 rubbers.
I got 40deg H3 provincial (orange sponge) as my FH on my first (current) bat. And i really like it.
Im looking to upgrade bats in the near future and would like to keep h3 on my forehand, although i would like to know more about all the many variants abt of H3
1. Whats the difference between H3 and H3 Neo ?
2. Whats the difference between Commercial/ Provincial/ National (more focus on prov v national)
3. Whats the difference between Orange and Blue sponge variants of each rubber?
4. Is boosting necessary ? (ik the obvious answer is no, but I hear even coach emratthick say h3 no good without booster)
Now im assuming each of these factors have the same effect across the board (Eg. blue sponge increases xxx on all H3s neos, com,prov,national alike)
although if this is not the case (eg. blue sponge increases xxx on Prov h3 neo, but increases zzz on H3 national) then feel free to let me know.
Bonus Q, is there variation in quality between sheets of H3 ? apparently older H3s (manufactured years ago) are much worse then new sheets (made in recent years) despite being the same exact rubber.
Hoping this can be a 1 stop shop for all things H3, if theres any factors I missed feel free to add
Thanks,
