From what im reading online, it sucks without boosting. I imagine xx and ml most def are using boosted cersions on their backhand. Without it, h3 neo is much better (or so the reviews say)

First up, H3-50 isn't a bad rubber when unboosted. It's slow because of the tack, but does speed up a bit once it's broken in. It feels more flexible than regular H3 Neo, but less powerful. It needs a fast blade (your Force Pro is good) and active technique, but works well with the new ball. Your BH technique is the crucial factor - if you play short, weak strokes on the BH side then you won't get much out of it. Being tacky it is quite sensitive to incoming spin when playing passively.
I would advise caution though because you're looking for an alternative to Aurus. It's vastly different to Aurus, so if cost is your motivation then you could look at other, non-tacky options. You could try 729 Battle (the harder sponged one), a non-tacky chinese rubber (the closest chinese rubber I've ever tried to ESN), or look at Palio Aeolus, a cheaper true ESN rubber made for the chinese market, similar to Bluefire M2 or Joola MAXX 450.

Andy, in your opinion, which will pair better with H3-50 in terms of speed, Adidas Avenger Carbon or Stiga Infinity?

I'd probably give it to the Avenger Carbon - slightly harder and faster. I've only tried someone else's Infinity for a brief hit though - not a Stiga fan.

Mega. Don't forget - it will need some breaking in! Don't judge it too much on the first 1-2 hours.

Thanks Andy.
Looking forward to your review Palesh. Please post your initial impression if you get the chance.
Lately i am trying out different DHS products. I will try this rubber once I play with my TG3 Neo for 2 to 3 more months.

Hi PalashBindal, I just got myself an H3-50. Have you already played with your H3-50? How do you like it on your BH?

Hey Andy, Im currently using H3 neo provincial unboosted 38deg (my friend said I should've bought the 39/40 one)... can you tell me the different between the degree of sponge for chinese tacky rubber? I read somewhere softer sponge = easier to loop/spin, but my friend said that's for tensor rubber.
Also should I boost my h3 neo? or will it be too soft (because it's already 38deg)? Thanks

With tacky rubber, I find that the sponge hardness only makes a noticeable difference when driving reasonably hard. When brush looping I can't feel much difference at all. When driving through the ball the softer ones feel a bit slower to me. A traditional chinese style power looper (3rd ball attack perhaps) needs sponge stability and all the power they can get, so 38 deg is a bit pointless for that way of playing I suppose. So I think it depends on style to some degree. It is a different kind of thought process to sponge selection in eurojap.
If you boost you'll find a bigger difference. The softer sponges expand/react more to the boost, which may or may not be what you want. I tended to stick with 39 deg, but boosting 38 is fine as long as you don't overdo it. Put a layer of glue on first BEFORE you boost to regulate the effect. The question of if you should boost is a personal one and is best left to you.

Glad to hear you are adjusting well to the Skyline 3-60. Do you find it bouncy?
I am enjoying the H3-50 a lot. Although I have yet to train with it, I have only been playing with my 69 year old father so I haven't been able to give it much power. But so far, it is a very easy going and fun rubber to play with. It is very predictable and stable. It is very good with blocking. Looping is also very good and precise. I can feel that this is not as powerful as the TG3 Neo but because it is more predictable, I can give it more power resulting in more consistent power shots.
I will be training tomorrow. I will give my feedback after my first training session.

Hey palash!
Since you mentioned h8 and 3-60, would like to ask you, are you playing with the old celluloid ball or the new poly ball? I think it must be poly ball,but still, interested in knowing!

ooo the same combination of rubbers i want to try .
I already love the H8 for the exact same reasons you have described and it will stay my fh rubber...
And now i want to try the Tg3-60 becasue now i have troubles with opening loops with omega V euro .... but when i switch to huricane 8 on bh i do not have this problems ... it just perfectly grab the ball so i hope this Tg3-60 will be the best choice in this problem ... also chops with no tensor effect will look nice..... i`m looking forward to this rubber .. and thanks for info.

If you could,then just check how 3-60 and h8 play with old celluloid balls. Hence if I get bored with my h3 neo,I would go for it.

Yeah,I did read somewhere that these rubbers tend to work awkwardly with old balls. Thanks for confirming! Hence I would go for that rubber when I only stick with plastic balls,and don't have to play with celluloid .

I don't know, i might not be a perfect guy as I haven't used plastic balls, but i did face less spin. Just think like this,,what if h3 neo was considerably less tacky when you chop or loop? Also, I might be wrong but I felt that the dwell I got was less.. Not that awesome in reviewing balls,but I will ask my friend, who is a great stable player,and I am sure he must have evaluated better.
