Sorry, I don't follow your logic or the point you are trying to make. Are you saying my hunch is correct or incorrect? If indeed they are selling provincial rubbers for $15, then that seems like a great deal to me. At the same time, I don't know why they would be sold in such a beautiful...

By the way, which hardness did you get? Does it feel like the same standard of hardness as Hurricane?

Have you ever tried Bloom Power or any other Bloom? Bloom is actually my favorite rubber, to me better than H3 and Big Dipper. I wonder if the new STN is similar to it.

Sounds like a good rubber. Hope the Provincial version is just as good. BTW, how much does your cut rubber weigh? Most of my FH rubbers weight 50g, such as Big Dipper.

You're saying that the speed of new STN is faster than a boosted H3? So you can hit very hard and fast loops? Is the speed similar to Big Dipper? Is it a bouncy rubber? Is there some pores in the sponge?

I also sent an email to Sanwei, and they said it's not an official sanctioned product from Sanwei. It just popped up on Aliexpress. It says "provincial team exclusive". It sounds like the rubber might be supplied to provincial teams for practice. But then those teams just turned around and...

Do you plan on trying the Provincial Pro 3 version to compare? I asked one seller on Aliexpress, and he said that the National version has better QC, more spin, and less speed than the provincial version. I don't know why the more expensive national version would be slower than the provincial...

how much was it from Sanwei?

where did you buy it from? how much was it?

I just ordered a sheet of Target Pro 3, which is supposedly the exact same topsheet as new Target National (it even has national printed on the topsheet), but with the provincial sponge.

Do you have a hurricane lying around? Try pushing both hurricane and hk1997 with all your force. I don't think hurricane can be compressed down to the wood. In my photo, the rubber below is hurricane 3 Nittaku. I can't compress it beyond half way.

Are you sure that your sponge cannot compress as much as mine is here in the photo?

I've gotten several sheets of Palio AK47 before, and they were all excellent.

Well, of course there is "some" resistance. But if you push as hard as you can, can you push to the wood? With a hard sponge like Hurricane, even if you push as hard as you can, it simply will not compress beyond the half way mark. If you push as hard as you can, can you push beyond the half...

Ok, in that case maybe I really did just get a bad batch. I can push the sponge straight down to the wood, with only mild resistance.

In another thread I discussed how absurdly soft my HK1997 Gold sheet is. Listed at 49 degree, it literally feels like 38 degree. Very soft sponge. This seller says "Tacky Chinese table tennis rubber with offensive properties. Classic rubber from Palio, with similar properties as DHS Hurricane 3...

If you push with all your strength, can you push all the way to the wood? or does the sponge resist you around the half way (1mm) mark?

It's elastic and bouncy in terms of how the ball bounces off the rubber. But it bounces off at a low angle (in a trajectory towards the net). If I push down on the sponge from a side view, I can basically push all the way to the wood with not much resistance. On true 49d rubbers (such as...

Yeah I like her play style a lot more than her brother's. Her brother's style seems very immature, like he's still playing with the strategies he used when he was 11. Miwa has a more mature, more positive style.
