Hype is not good enough reason to keep using something. If its too hard for you, get a hybrid.
Well, the hype is good as long the product is really good, for example the Hype about Butterfly products, or DHS or Stiga, people are using and happy, and being a hard rubber is nothing to do about how great it is, i can play with any rubber even a i can play with a sandpaper one, it is just how comfortable and consistent i am using it, for example i tested TWO Tibhar MX-P rubbers, i think on two different blades, with both i didn't like it, and later someone also told me about it and the reason was the thickness of sponge or the hardness, he tried lesser thickness and it was super, and i think when we boost is to make the sponge softer, mainly hard rubbers tend to be more heavier a bit, that is why i feel i don't want a rubber that putting load in my hard or the blade, so H3 isn't any exception, i mentioned that the first H3 i tried before the racket getting stolen it was so so amazing, and i thought maybe a National version BS could be even better, and i still can use and play it just fine but not a keeper compared to other rubbers.
