Hi .... Now it is about one month I have been playing with this rubber. Initially i was confused from the throw angle on my FH so i played with it on BH ..where it is just perfect. But now i get used to it also on my FH and it is great for Power loops and Spin .. On push game it is very spiny but also a little bit more sensitive to incoming spin ... but you can easily master the incoming spin after a while. And what is the best about this Rubber is the sound ... I like it when you just hit it with power ... wow. Of course the serves are just really hard to return ... lot of spin.

Ok after a while of playing with this rubber (i have tried off+ and all blades with it)i love it for the backhand .. the flicks are just unstoppable ,very High speed can be produced only from a fast wrist movement .... But touch play is a little bit harder with it .Short to net is ok but the transition to back line is hard to get in hand .. the sponge is really reactive and need to practice to get the good feeling for this.

Just great rubber...

Only think is the durability, after a month of playing I can already see my finger movements on bottom of the rubber, so im really afraid how long it will last.
Ok after four months of playing (4 times per week, 1.5 hour practice) the top sheet is ok .... (i clean it with tap water at the end of the day ) only the finger parts is absolutely destroyed . (maybe the salt from fingers ? but my DHS NEO H3 has no issues at all so i do not now) .

ps.: i bought it for 33 Euro from internet store.

This is the first racket I was truly content with to a Perfect degree! (C-Pen version) First off the dark pinch is perfect and really nice. (In contrast to the very light pinched Silver line Carbon). Secondly - It has very little vibrations, the little vibration the blade has is comfortable in my hand.
The blades structure itself is: koto - ayous (horizontal) - fiberglass - ayous (horizontal) - koto. Whereby the Fiber glass core is probably the source of the nice dark pinch.
The blade is pretty hard (Not TOO hard, just medium hard!) yet VERY controlled and much more loopable than you'd think (which also means it's great for spin!) with that hardness. I sealed the blade as well, which also give the whole blade a dark nicer colour with a darker blue handle that now matches the blue sponge of the bluefire. (although that's not the main point of sealing). It's said sealing the blade differs the hardness, which is probably correct but to a VERY small degree, but I would personally recommend sealing it, as it also makes it more durable!

It has as far as I'm concerned a big sweet spot and its speed is (as mentioned above) perfect with the amount of control it has. To put it this way I highly doubt you will get ANY blade with as much speed and still have the same amount of control. You will have to look for a while. (personally using with it with Donic Bluefire jp 01-turbo and jp-03). This blade is with that said probably optimized for medium to far distance shooting, mainly medium-far. It works good close to the table, but there are probably other blades better for close to the table (but those would obviously be worse in further away from the table!)
I prefer to step a bit back so for me it's perfect!
If I were to point out any cons with this blade, it MIGHT be the durability. I've had no major damage on it after 2-3 months use (but that's not a very long time), and it seems good so far. But I would recommend the users to "handle with care" (solely based on the feeling I get while using it) if not you should just get the DHS PG 13. (roughly same structure without the same quality control)
Edit:
I've had it for more than a year now, a couple bumps on the edge due some hard punche that hit the table or table edge, but it has great durability.
Extra Update:
Hurricane Hao III (With Adidas Tenzone Ultra and P7) - I call it "The Excalibur of Holy Grails".
This blade in the form of a racket, was given 3 phoenix feathers in it's center core (glass fiber) for a swagical touch and it's surface is filled with the holly african wood known as Koto. It has the extraordinary ability to expelliarmus any death ball back on the table with a under/side spin more sneaky than a Basilisk, or a top/side spin that not even Dobby would be able to handle with his Elf magic. Oh you prefer clean loop? Well that's original, try a light one first and the table might make it out with just a scratch.

This is my first review so bare with me, I've used this rubber for a few months now (on a hurricane Hao III - Pen) I believe it's suited better on a bit harder blades. I use it for my fore hand (black version, 2.00 mm). On close to the table I believe it's doing very good, but when flicking close to net I needed a bit time getting used to it, often flicked it a bit too low. (aka needs a nice touch on flicks)
Before I used this I had a go with Tenergy 80 (for a short while), comparing to the 80 it's more forgiving, and it's throw angle was for my preference better than the tenergy 80's (which had a bit higher throw angle.) Another thing that I find very usefull, but is the second, among the two things that might take some time to master, is the catapult/trajectory arc on harder shots, when you do a hard topspin punch you can feel the rubber bouncing it out with boosted speed. (which is the catapult efect, more speed compared to other rubbers without the so called "catapult" effect) which is imo a powerful weapon when you learn to control it, because several of my harder shots went just too far at the start, but got the hang of it after a while. Despite the speed maybe not being optimal (according to some people) I don't think you need more speed than what the catapult effect gives. Any faster would be too fast for my taste.
Aside from those two things I'd say the rubber is pretty much Perfect. And hey, the sponge is blue, fancy that?

Edit: At the time i wrote this, I meant everything I wrote, but after trying Adidas Tenzone Ultra, I'd say the rebound time in Jp-01 Turbo is a bit of a con. Read the Tenzone Ultra review for more info.

Good offensive rubber with a fair amount of controll. I like it for counter topspin, flick and serve which makes it an excellent rubber for near the table topspin play.

This is one of Stigas tensor-rubbers.
The sponge I play is max, the color is red. The blade I use is a Stiga hybrid wood.

Boost xt is not tacky but generates good spin. A great forhand rubber.
The speed and catapult effect is really good. Medium throw.
It's not light, but not as heavy as the chinese rubbers ive tried.

I picked this rubber to complement a DHS Skyline 2 neo that I was used to, thinking this would be a good backhand rubber but I had real trouble controling it as a backhandrubber. The catapult effect was to big for me. But as a forehand rubber, wow! As soon as I turned the blade over my game started to fall into place.
really happy with this one.

Update:
Seems to be a really nice rubber quality. Looks and feels brand new after 2 weeks and 1 hour practice a day..
As time goes I find it easier and easier to control on my forehand. Definetly a rubber I will buy again. Super happy with it.

i think if the hurricane 3 is getting slow by time , then u got the fake version , so u need to speed glue or boost them each while , but if u got the original version of H 3 same of Chinese national team then u ganna fly on the table lol lol

This rubber has very good spin, has fairly good control, but isn't very fast. If this rubber was slightly faster I would probably like it a lot more than what I do now.

This rubber seemed very fast when I used it, but that could be partially due to the blade that the rubbers were on. Sometimes I struggled with control when I used this rubber, but it had plenty of power and speed.

A great blade with excellent speed. The blade feels great when you hit the ball. It works excellently with Tenergy 05 rubbers. I would definitely recommend this blade to anyone who is experienced enough to control the blades high speeds. This is my definite favorite out of all the blades I've tried.

Vega pro is a very spinny rubber with excellent speed, the control aspect of the rubber isn't amazing though (quite hard to control).

Sriver is good rubber for people starting out in table tennis, it along with Mark V were extremely popular and and are still popular now, they are both an extremely nice and easy to use rubber that will always be popular among people learning to play table tennis.

I tried this blade as my friend was using it at the club. The control is excellent. It is very lightweight and has very good feeling and well balanced. From close to the table and mid distance the you can spin the ball very well, the only problem was its lack in speed. But this could have been down to the rubbers, however it was Tenergy 05 on the forehand. I think this blade is ideal for developing strokes and improving your game from intermediate levels.

Great first rubber, excellent control and very easy to manage. Good for a player who needs control.

Probably the best rubber around (my favorite), however the price is quite high for the amount of use you get out of a sheet.

Great for Mid-far table play, since its topsheet acts more like a spring it helps when performing either counterlooping or driving far away from the table. It's great for players who value driving your way out of a rally, rather than doing full force attacks.

One of the best Offensive rubbers ever existed. It can perform all offensive shot with ease, providing the player with the consistency required for hard shots. Gives the player so much room to work offensive plays in any situation.

No wonder why everyone uses T05 on the FH.

I am currently using the Acuda S3 as a T64 replacement (too expensive), and its works fine. It can perform passive blocks with ease, and have very consistent looping capability. One of the drawbacks is due to its softness and grippy rubber it makes difficult to perform short pushes or touch play near the table.

A very nice blade, with lots of control, feeling and speed. The blade is great for those players who love to stay close to table and keep constant pressure at the opponent. I could not get used to it to either do confident 5th attacks (after opening with a 3rd ball) or counterlooping.
I think its because of the hardness of the blade (5ply, 2 carbon with the inner wood layer being extremely large), so the dwell time is much shorter than the usual.

One of the best blades I have used. The combination of the soft wood layers and the hard wood layers make it a great blade. Perfect for athlete development, since it can perform well in any situation. Since the blade is a little faster, heavier and hard it can be difficult to perform touch play (short pushes, flicks and stop pushes).

Pretty good blade maybe too light but with my 2 chinese rubbers it is ok.I dont like vibrations of this blade but its feeling is amazing.Its a bit sensitive on hits but thats because blade is extremly soft.All in all ok blade i give it 4 stars
