Definitely. The provincial is less good than the regular as it is. It has to be boosted.
Well I couldn't wait for an other 3 days to boost it properly and just glued it on my Christmas gift DHS Hurricane Long 5 the new version, with thinner handle and reduced weight, without boosting it.
Forehand: 729/Friendship Battle 2 Provincial Black 40 degree Orange sponge
Backhand: DHS Gold Arc 8 Red 47.5 degree Medium thickness Yellow Sponge
The racket overall isn't overweight (when I get a scale i'll measure it), a little head heavy do to thinner handle. I didn't find the B2 uncontrollable in pushing and looping, but I normally don't put a lot of power to my shots I focus on brushing technique. Speed was more then enough on the HL 5 both close and away from the table, spin was astounding, with the ball accelerating greatly right after the bounce. Need more time to test it on other aspects like serving and service receive, but overall it's a really good setup even without boosting it.
Overall I really like this setup, It's a really big step up from my older DHS H-WL with Neo Hurricane 2 and Stiga Clipper with Neo Hurricane 3. It produces bigger spin and speed with a lot less effort, especially good for the newer 40+ ball.
Battle 2 provincial Black 40 degree with orange sponge is a very good forehand rubber for her price of about 25-30 dollars on AliExpress. I would like to try the Blue and Purple Sponge versions if I could and also compare them to other potential rubbers like: 729-08 Pro, DHS Hurricane 8, Hurricane 2 or 3 and TG 2 and 3 provincial to find the ultimate affordable Chinese forehand rubber. I assume that DHS National versions are better, but they are tenergy level expensive and not for me at this point in time.
