first to me and my review.
I am a young player with a modern and good technique. I prefer mostly topspin.
Block and counter is almost not presented in my game.
It's medium-hard and very sticky.
I played him on the fohand and on the backhand.


On the forhand he was from the beginning in topspinns very good, you had a good control, much spin and pace.
The counter was very chaotic. The ball flew and it has not felt good. Block was ok.

On the backhand I had many problems first. The opening topspin didn't worked. Although it could generated spin, but it doesn't came to speed. The same even with flips. While the ballchange, however, it was better. Counter and block was the same as on the forhand.

After some time I have the problem with the backhand in the hand without getting the technology switch.
The forhand was still a dream.

For even a longer time the rubber became hard and slow. Although he was already in front of it quite hard and slow but this time he felt played off, so i have decided to boost him.
After the boost he was like reborn. He became softer what had a positive effect. Forhand as backhand was a Dream. Everything worked perfectly.


All in one I can recommend covering only.
Without boosting it is very playable, but with boosten I find him much better.


A proper weapon for attacking player


But what you have to say, he stinks. :D


And sorry for my bad english. :(

I've only tried the China version so far, and it's definitely rounder and way more durable than the plastic balls I got a year ago. I play a very spin oriented game, and this ball just DOES NOT spin close to as much as celluloid balls do. Rallies do last longer, but I'm not able to produce as much spin as I normally play with.

Pros
  • Incredible Spin
  • Short Game
  • Cheap!
Cons
  • Not for all
Currently using the H3N on my FH, unboosted. It plays incredibly with a "Chinese stroke", so you really have to develop your stroke to play with this. Exceptional with touch shots, produces wicked amounts of spin, and looping with this is an absolute joy! It tends to be slower than tensor rubbers unboosted, but if you boost the H3N, all hell will be unleashed on your opponents! For some reason, the sheet I bought was barely tacky.
P.S. Red DHS rubbers tend to be less tacky compared to the black ones.

I've used one sheet of Skyline II NEO on my FH, and then one on my BH. Both rubbers were unboosted. Touch game and looping with this rubber is great, relatively easy to control, although it's quite a slow rubber. Not the best for smashing lobs. My only problem is that, for some reason, the second sheet that I bought wasn't even remotely tacky!

(the best blade i've had). Great blade for playing close to the table with fast rubbers ex:Tenergy 64.
My blade for the last 2 years and i recommend it for beginners to medium levels...my game has progressed since then,so now i want to do some changes and to have something more appropriate with the skills that i developed with time, I play C-PEN style using both sides of the racket which is quite in common.
To take advantage of my strong forehand, i'am looking forward to the Hurricane Long 5 with H3 National Blue sponge (FH) Tenergy 05 (BH), once i get used to this new equipments i leave a review.

  • Small Head
A really good blade. Been using it for almost 2 years already.
The only problem with this blade is that the head of the blade is so small that when you spin sometimes it hits the edge of the racket.
But you really need to be careful and once you get use to it it will be just perfect for you.

IMHO, best 40+ ball to play with..Consistent roundness, durable (but break easily if hit edge of blade), & hard feeling when hit. For me, the closest feeling to the celluloid ball.

I love this rubber on my BH, I like to brush the ball more with my BH topspin so I prefer the harder sponge. It also is great at punching or flat hitting, sometimes I do find it difficult to controller slow spiny topspins ( my technique). Over all my favourite rubber for BH

If you don't get a great backhand, you have to play with that rubber, control, spin and very cheap. It's great to prepare strong strokes

Good ball for what it is, doesn't have the same durability as the old celluloid ones but it's much better than the seamed rubbish DHS have been making.

Coming from esn rubbers, h3 neo feels quite different.
Being a chinese rubber, it's quite sticky and slow. Sponge is hard.
Spin is great and control is always there. To play effectively with this rubber, one has to apply active strokes. Passive play always results in disadvantage. Its quite different from the european tensors.
Services- while serving, everything is possible, and it feels great as tack comes in play, hence high amount of spin is there. Shot services with spin is also easy to do.
Serve receive- yes, spin sensitivity is there, but as the rubber is slow, ball doesn't deviate much or doesn't pop up much. Still proper technique is required as it is not a much forgiving rubber.
Close to table- Everything is possible in this range. Chops, counter top spin, all said, proper technique is must. Though smashes and counter are less effective as the rubber is slow.
Mid to long range- Its a typical chinese rubber. Rubber never bottoms out. Hence if you do loops loaded with spin, one can always be in advantage.
To use this rubber, one must be fully committed to play perfect strokes.
Boosting may help to soften the sponge and increase speed and spin.

Overall a good all round blade, it's strong and will definitely last a good amount of time. Nothing special about the speed or control, but it does the job.

Pros

Cons
  • Average control
  • Touching is hard
Really good allround rubber, not quite the speed or spin of Tenergy and Mxp but a good alternative if you want a flatter throw. Touches take time to get the hang of, and if you catch serves wrong then it's not very forgiving.

This is the sort of rubber that requires very good technique, but sadly not the european kind; to really get the most out of this rubber you need to have a huge looping forehand, but if you misjudge it it's likely to go horribly wrong. Serves can be very good, especially when the rubbers new, the ball rarely pops up too high. Overall a good rubber if you're willing to really work for it, but there are easier alternatives.

This is quite a cheap blade. Got it for 20 euros from tt11.
I got this blade weighing 93 gm.
I am using dhs skyline 3 neo on fh and lkt rapid speed on bh.
This blade has big face, hence a little head heaviness due to heavy rubbers is observed.
Close to table- Since I use chinese rubber on fh, the spin is evidently there in serves. Whenever long services are executed, this blade has been quite predictable. Hence it is stiff enough.
For chops, I needed to use less power, or the ball would go out.
For 3rd ball attack, this blade is great, its fast and powerful. Executing blocks is breeze.
Long table- As I mentioned, this blade is quite fast, off+ for me, and with chinese rubbers, if the loops are perfect, there would not be power loss.
But to execute it, your shots should be perfect. It seemed to me that this blade is less forgiving.
Important ratings-
Speed- off+ (definitely)
Defence- needs precision
Stiffness- 6to7
Dwell- a little is there when you go for loops. This attribute is actually profitable for me as it is a stiff blade normally, hence works good for counters and blocks, but when you want to do loops, dwell comes( like viscaria)
Sweet spot- definitely less than my other blade ymleo.
Hardness- hard
Durability- definitely looks sturdy, ymleo is behind pg7 in this aspect.
Vibration- is present, will sometimes irritate, as the vibrations are a bit confusing.
Overall rating- 7.8 out of 10
(Ymleo is 8.1, for me)

I tried this rubber on DHS Hurricane Long 5 which is a very fast blade..The ball has a lot power behind it, very spinny and fast at the same time. The feel i got is quite similar to the boosted typical dhs rubber. As it is only in the range of 20 dollar, it is my answer to my infatuation to the boosted dhs rubber which is costing me about 30 more dollar.
