I want to buy A DHS Hurricane 3 Blue Sponge from tabletennis11

[tabaradumitru]

Hello everyone!
I want to try to use the DHS Hurricane 3 Blue Sponge rubber for my forehand and I'm planning to buy it from tabletennis11.
Can anyone help me choose it because there are a lot of variants there. At the same time I can't afford to buy a national one.
Please help me choose them.

Sounds like you want Provincial Hurricane 3 Neo

Provincial version is good enough. National version is a waste of money unless you're an extremely good player.

Do you have your own booster? If not, you definitely want the "Neo" version, which means it's lightly boosted at the factory. Otherwise, you can get the normal version (without Neo) and boost it yourself.

If you plan on playing with Hurricane 3 long-term, you might want to get your own booster and learn how to boost.

Absolutely do not buy DHS products from TT11. They are ridiculously over priced. Buy from prott or Aliexpress instead.

Get provincial neo blue sponge 39 or 40 depending on if u boost or not and call it a day

I would also advise aliexpress, but I wouldn't say absolutely do not buy from tt11. It's a very good shop, but the hurricanes there are indeed overpriced.

I think TT11 is very good to buy any products except for DHS products. DHS products are very overpriced but the ESN brands are all quite good price.

If you wait until your rubber appears as a ”weekly special” you get a better price.
Personally I don’t like the ”Neo” versions, I rather boost myself. The Neo. Is supposed to be preboosted and preglued, something I like to do myself. Also the blue sponge versions are noticeably heavier and has a harder feel to them. If you are used to softer rubbers I suggest 39 orange…

Neo is designed for modern boosters. Non-neo is meant for speed glue.

if you know you'll commit to the rubber, buy both provincial and national versions in the same hardness and thickness(2.1/40 for example).
based on whether you feel the difference between them or not, you'll know what to get for your 3rd sheet.

Thank you for your advice guys. But I can't find non "NEO" Commercial/Provincial rubbers anywhere I look, not on Aliexpress or PROTT.
How can I find them?

This one seems to be a NEO one as well.

I would say TT11 is an excellent shop. It's just that their Hurricane prices aren't good.

 

[Larshos]

DHS/Yinhe blades on Aliexpress can have very large variations in weight. You might find a seller that is cooperative and will help you find your desired weight, but a lot of them will just send you a random one. Going through TT11 and paying the premium for the service, you will be more secure in finding just the weight you want. For some that is worth it, for others not.

Also, and this is just speculation, but it would not suprise me if the blades you get through TT11 have higher QC than a lot of the stuff you find on Aliexpress, given that TT11 must be one of Europes' largest retailers.

Isn't this a old version of the rubber? or what's the difference between this and the ones with the green package?

 

[Deep74]

Thank you for your advice guys. But I can't find non "NEO" Commercial/Provincial rubbers anywhere I look, not on Aliexpress or PROTT.
How can I find them?

Just get the neo from prott it’s great. Been using myself in bs for 3 yrs from them. I even get my dignics and ball from there as it’s cheaper.

This is the "old" non-Neo version, yes. The green package is the Neo-version.

Non Neo is meant for booster...
Neo is pre boosted and pre glued.

Neo is boosted as well. The pre booster isn’t the same as applying booster to it.

I didn't say that. I only said it was pre boosted...
