Just was wondering whether hurricane 3 neo is too slow to play untuned. have been researching this but have not been able to find that much on it.
But, if you do not like it when it is unboosted, it is not very hard to boost it. Just get lamp oil (paraffin) from a hardware store and baby oil. I put the glue on then the oils. Let the oils sink in for several hours, perhaps a few days. Then when it sinks in and the glue feels dry, you can put the sheet on your blade.
I disagree. H3 Neo is absolutely playable without boosting/tuning. The thing about it is that it's completely honest about how solid your stroke and contact are. You can't hit a lazy shot with it like you can with tenergy or tensors. Hurricane 3 is more than capable of producing a shot just as threatening if not more than a tensor or tenergy.
It's just not for everyone.
Well, there is no black or white situation here like if it is playable or not. First of all we must all agree on what we mean by the term "playable"
Playable for me is spinny and fast at the same time, I cant have both when I am playing with a non boosted tacky rubber.
Playable also refers to the amount of effort I need to exert to the ball by contracting explosively my muscles in my FH loop without "tighting" them. So basically in the end it is not a matter of playable or not, but a matter of preference for every single player out there.
Every player has his own unique playing characteristics that are enhanced or not by a unique equipment
I'm just curious, you apply glue then the oil? it will be sticky enough to slap on the blade after the hours/days?
