Could be a bad sample/batch. Where did you buy it? I can't recall a single H3 sheet that lost its grip. Some lose tackiness over time, but the grip is always there.

In my opinion, boosting adds: 1) Speed, even some resemblance of flat hitting, although it's still bad. 2) Not spin but ease of creating spin. You need a lesser stroke to produce spin, but the max spin is probably even less due to the ball travelling faster. 3) Better block. But it's not the...

There is no 38 Hurricane for forehand (black) except the one I just ordered. And my shape doesn't allow me to actively play every ball with harder rubbers--they require too much fitness. Dunno how 38 unboosted feels against 39 boosted, will check it out.

As someone who purchases H3N 39 degrees and boosts it to become 38 or something, I think this is a valid question. However, H3 has the following advantages regardless of boosting: 1) Durability - even with boosting, H3 lasts longer than any ESN rubber. For me, topsheet remains intact even after...

Imo, it isn't worth playing harder versions of Jupiter 3. I am a long-time Jupiter 2/3 user and 38 degrees feels like blessing: - Low weight, normally between 45-47 grams. - Strong bounce. - Solid spin that is easy to produce. Dunno why, but 39 feels much stiffer and way less bouncy than the 38...

Well, maybe it's my problem but whenever I hit a ball, I begin staring at its trajectory, placement, and the opponent on the other side of the table. This habit impedes my ability to track the ball and hit it at its highest point after it returns to me. Which in turn makes me pass the ball...

Yesterday I had a conversation with an experienced EJ, and he said that there is no point waiting for the meager discounts on 11.11, there's almost no difference. Yesterday I purchased: - H3N Provincial 38 degrees, Orange Sponge, 2.1mm, black for forehand. Curious to see how the H3N 38 going to...

As a 6'2 person, I also struggle with bending myself lower. Naturally, I have always tried to bend for each shot but my coach has been re-training me to rather: - Keep legs wider. - Interact with the ball at its highest level. - Track the ball rather than look at the table/opponent. These 3...

Backhand serve. Pendulum serve. Reverse pendulum serve.

I think CNT isn't in trouble. Despite numerous hiccups, they earned every gold from the Olympics and Smashes. Yes, the dominance isn't as strong as it used to be during the past 15 years (the women's team is still rock solid), but there are essential reasons for the more even competition: 1)...

I very much agree with everything you said. Although people say that boosters add spin, I would rather say they don't, and the unpacked Chinese rubbers are at their peak spin and toxicity. But I would still boost any day of the week - my H3N feels more like a 38 degree rubber or softer after I...

Used B2 Golden for quite a while but came back to H3N BS National. B2G is excellent because it requires no boosting or very little of it. It also produces fairly difficult attacks thanks to its consistent spin and low arc. However, these are the the reasons why I came back to Hurricane. You...

I swear the ball was 10cm away from the table, yet Manika was penalized for the "inside line" serve... If there is something that could add up to the WTT experience of fuzzy/grainy/low fps video, unclear ball, and horrible side angles, it surely has to be a clueless umpire.

If necessary, you can find faulty serves from any TT athlete. I bet you could find faulty serves from Samsonov if you really search for them. The ridiculous thing is, the ref is calling out those who serve relatively clean serves (like high toss from Hugo), while I can't remember WCQ and LSD...

I see how Anton's serve wasn't perfect on the replay but... He has one of the cleanest serves in top30, and An served merely the same. An was warned for no reason as well. I bet they're never gonna call out WCQ's serves or shovels from LSD.

Maybe try Battle 2 Provincial Gold? It only comes in 40 degrees (and has the most powerful purple sponge in the series), it can kill balls, and has solid spin on brushes. By default, it's more "killer shot" oriented. But 1 layer of Falco Long booster made brushing attacks good enough, so it's a...

Dunno whether these are good or bad names, but please welcome: the MYTH, the LEGEND, DR.NEUBAUER! :D

Absolute worst: 1) Victas — the naming is totally confusing, and the models sound bad. I bet even the brand fans can get confused about their product line. 2) Donic — unless you deliberately study their product names, you can't tell these apart, let alone know their qualities. 3) Joola — their...

H3 Neo National, both blue and orange.
