It's strange. He (not she - listen to his voice) said : We, Chinese players
Yes, he has a photo of a woman on his FaceBook but it sure sounds like an old man. So I think it is "He". He is a CNT Fanboy from Vietnam who seems to think the only pros out there are on the CNT. He is not alone in that. But that means players from Korea, Japan, Germany....they are not pros. And that simply isn't how it is.
And something about the way this guy oversimplifies and sometimes simply presents incorrect information to support a point that may ultimately be valid makes me want to see footage of him playing and coaching. I also wonder what the highest level of players he has coached are and if he coached them all the way from beginner to a high level or not. All I can say is that some of the stuff he says is good. Often that stuff is kind of obvious. But good nevertheless. But then there are other things he says that just get the BS Detector Software on my NSA SpyPhone working overtime.
How I would explain the strengths and weaknesses of H3 is like this: because the rubber is a little tacky and non-bouncy, not much catapult effect, it is very easy to use in the short game and gives you a lot of control in the short game. This is huge.
Then the other advantage is when you take a big swing with full power. EmRatThich sort of shows this with one of his charts. I just don't agree with how his chart characterizes Catapult rubbers as losing power at the top end. I think that is not quite accurate. With the right technique and full power, tensor rubbers and spring sponge rubbers are great. But they are harder to control: considerably harder. If Euro/Jap rubbers were not good with maximum power, why would CNT players twiddle to the Tenergy side when smashing high balls? But when you take a giant swing with H3, the rubber rewards you with an amazing amount of control and great power: power+control is hard to beat. Swinging that hard with Tenergy is definitely harder to control.
So there are two places where H3 really shines:
1) the soft touch of the short game.
and
2) blasting loops with full power and spin.
If that is your game, and if you have the footwork to be in position to take full stroke power shot after full stroke power shot, then H3 is amazing. Even if you don't have that skill it is still great rubber. But it's weaknesses fall in the ranges between soft touch shots and giant power strokes. So the weaknesses of H3 fall in the comfort zone of many amateur players. H3 also may not be so great for long range lobbing and trying to shift gears from lobbing to counter looping.
In any case, don't second guess yourself. If your equipment is working for you and you like it, it actually does not matter so much what it is. Remember, the technique of the player matters much more than the equipment.
