Hi, I'm just wondering whether I have to boost a hurricane 3 neo provincial (blue sponge). I heard that it's already factory tuned??
 
If sponge hardness =41, put a layer or two Haifu seamoon. Will make it more lively.

If sponge hardness =39, don't bother as boosting could make it too mushy.

If sponge hardness =40. Grey area. Play a game and see if you need more speed and spin

do you remove the factory glue before u apply the booster?
i tried 41 last week, damn hard xd
 
I have a 41 as well. I didn't remove the factory layer. Put three layers of seamoon and it plays like a 40. Far better

dangit, shouldve done it that way...
I was going to boost it, but then I thought that this is factory tuned already, so it should be in the best form...
turned out it's as hard as brick :(

The factory boosts it to an acceptable level (usually not playable). But if you don't play formal tournament like me, you might as well do a few extra layers of boosting. It feels like tenergy sponge plus hurricane topsheet.

This is my first time using 41.
Usually when I use 40, I will play new rubber unboosted, then after I feel the factory-boost effect wears off, then I'll boost it.

Hello SFF_lib,
Do you all refer boosting on 2.15mm sponge thickness ?
Thanks

There's practically no difference between 2.15 and max. You can boost both thickness.

I remember mine is max thickness. Once boosted, the sponge can deliver the strength of the blade better as it's not hard dead. You usually want a thinner hurricane sponge because it's easier to hit through a dead sponge. When the sponge is not dead you don't worry about the thickness.

Thanks for your input. I used to play with 39/40 H3Neo. Do you think single boost is adequate enough per your experience ??
