I use it with MX-P. So it is a really good combo! Very good control in block and counter. Very easy to loop with!

The blade has a great balance between speed and control. The blade is light with lots of feeling.

I find this ball breaks easily after only a few hours of play. I have also found that the ball is considerable slower compared to other poly balls but a bit harder too. As I was a big fan of the celluloid balls from Nitakku I was fairly disappointed.

Pros
  • long life
  • cheap
Cons
  • Clean often
  • Not that bouncy
  • active strokes
The rubber needs to be cleaned each time before you play and even during play as the ball picks up alot of dust that goes on to the rubber.

it's not at all bouncy if you prefer something more bouncy try something else.

It has excellent control and especially when you have good technique. Good at blocking and returning and flat hitting and looping, it's a solid all round rubber.

I used the Skyline 3 TG Neo primarly on my forehand side.Since I use a bigger arm motion with a good acceleration,the spin I could generate,especially on loop,was great. The problem about that is that you have do develop a really good speed and resistance to do this big movement multiple time during a match and if you don't train properly during the week this rubber is just not worth.
Even though the spin was good,the forehand was lacking in speed and for me was just too hard to flip the ball since the tacky rubber needs a different tecnique to be used properly.
Really sensitive to spin,if you have a good understanding of your opponent,the short game is good.
This is just my opinion that comes from 3 months of playing with the Skyline TG3 Neo unboosted, of course if you have a different tecnique you could find the best rubber of your life and disagree on everything i said. Since it's worth its price i suggest you to give it a try.

Pros

I tried this really cheap rubber after playing for several months with tenergy 05 and aurus sound. The big difference with other rubbers is tackiness and you have to adapt your game,it just change your style completely.
Tried both on forehand and backhand.Even though they are really slow(a lot of players use to boost them),i was impressed on how much spin i could generate,but it's required a really fast and strong movement,maybe too much efforts are required for a match.
I was really satisfied by the spin and control that the 729 was providing during the loop phase.
What i found unpleasant was the control on block(especially on the backhand side),the 729 is really sensitive to opponent spin and at the same time really slow,so it was hard for me to find the right blade angle to play this specic shot.
The second negative aspect was the flip...i find really easy to do that with european rubbers(Aurus Sound,Tenergy05,Xiom Omega ecc...), but flicking with a chinese rubber was just too hard.

I don't think i will buy this rubber again,my playing style just suffers too much the tackiness of the rubber. If you share my perspective and you need a cheap rubber i suggest you to go more on a soft rubber like Palio Biotech or Dawei 2008 xp.

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

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.
