I have just watched the latest EMRTHICH Youtube video on the subject and he warns about the dangerous chemicals in them, even if they are VOC. What is your opinion?

I haven't watched his video yet. Can you let me know what kind of booster he is talking about in his video. For example, which brand or which model? Thanks.

I believe it was boosters in general. Let's face it, they are all pretty much the same with dubious chemicals in them. He also talks about speed glue which is seriously bad for your health 100 per cent.

By the way, I did try a factory tuned neo Hurricane 3 rubber last year and after playing with it noticed a bad sore throat - would that be exactly the same stuff as a booster bottle? It smelt of dead fish!

I look forward to your views when you get some time to watch the video.

What the f is bad on baby oil? Then any kind of oil is bad for you...

You guys are off topic.
Without reliable and valid data there is no point in further investigation.

Sore throat? Oh man, you are walking on the moon in health issues! Sorry, I don't want to offend you, just it's super-super-super sure that the chemicals evaporating from boosters can't cause sore throat!
Litres of warm tee is the best solution to sore throat. Be better!

Thanks for your response! One more thing. Do you think i should boost that h3 neo rubber?

I would say if you do worry about the chemical stuff, then don't use the rubber.

Hurricane 3 neo are meant to be boosted. You can choose the lowest degree on the market, if you are not willing to do it though.

Hi Chen,

is there any player using non-DHS tacky rubbers?

Hi ChenChen, can you tell me what's the best way to clean & store H3 rubber after playing?
is it allowed to be washed using cleaner (both foam/liquid)? what about the plasic sheet, is adhesive one allowed?

thanks

Have you Knowledge about DHS Hurricane 8?

Hurricane 8 is designed for the new plastic balls, which has the same characteristic as hurricane 3. But the top sheet is slightly harder, which increases the speed and power. Meanwhile the pimples are smaller, which gets more control and has more dwell time. Sponge is softer and more flexible than hurricane 3. At the moment, it only has commercial version with orange sponge selling on the market. I got some hurricane 8 blue sponge national (test version), was having fun. Hope this helps.

It is fine with cleaner and rubber protector. I use nittaku clean awah or butterfly spin refresh afterword. Then put butterfly rubber film (non tacky one is fine) on it.

Is DHS code verification of any hurricane national blue sponge is the ultimate indication of authenticity of the product itself?

As far as I know, Liu Jikang is sponsored by haifu and he is using their equipment (rubbers).

It is important, not the only one though, the serial number on back of the sponge is the other one. It is not that difficult to tell whether the rubber is fake or not in some ways. So far I have seen two different types of font (serial number). Also If you have good source you can trust, which helps as well.
