At first I thought that maybe I didn't glue the rubbers properly although I did my usual gluing routine. However, now I'm pretty sure I have done it properly.

I think you're right (see my post above). I'm going to keep at it for a while and see if it suits me after using it for a few weeks or months.

I appreciate all the info on the H301. I am awaiting receipt of the one I ordered which is evidently in USPS shipping facility partner purgatory.

H301 being an inner-carbon blade can be indeed slow. If you don't properly swing it / not putting power into it that is.
It won't be as fast as the really fast carbon blade but it should be close to what a viscaria can do in terms of power.
You will feel the carbon kick in when you are properly looping with the blade and it will feel much stiffer. This is different to your normal carbon blade like viscaria where you get an even better feeling when you loop hard because you're feeling more of the vibration from the wood after the ALC layer.
You use a long 5 in the first place you i think you should know what I mean

yeah i do but i got someone a h301 and put 2 layers of varnish on it both sides to speed it up with tin arc 1 and elp
and it seemed to be fast enough now and worked well for that person newbie also

Hi 301 is not bad blade. It is decent enough to produce speed and spin. May be you need to spend more time before you get frustrated. Also sometimes with change in blade we need to change our technique a bit. Enjoy your new set up

Again, it's anything but a slow blade. It's a fast blade. It just has a ton of gears, so at first it appears to be slow.
This derives from its innerforce type construction and the materials used (koto/ayous/alc/ayous)
This is good, because you can get better tighter serves and serve returns easily with the sweet crisp feel of the hard koto layer.
When you hit harder and engage the carbon layer it has power comparable to other fast blades, which is to say, it's not like slow blades where if you get some distance from the table suddenly your shot is just weak.
I think most people who say it's slow simply don't have either the power to engage the blade properly or the subtelty to access all the gears.

I purchased several DHS blade like Wang Hao,Fang Bo and their blades are very much overrated with the specs of speed and performance. I realized their blades are much slower than they claim to be but if you want develop the good strokes maybe are worth for the learning curve.

How would you describe the speed of 301 compared to dhs pg3. PG3 is all wood 5 ply blade with koto outer layer but honestly I don't feel like it lacks speed with full stroke. However I'm wondering about buying 301 at some point. Anyone had a chance to play those 2 or has an idea based on similar experiences?

Can't compare PG3 to H301 but I can compare my virtuoso+ blade with my innerforce ZLC which is basically the same blade with the ZLC layer taken.
The innercarbon will give you more gears. On both the slower side and the faster side. There will be a lot of vibration of soft hits but on harder hits the carbon will kick in and the blade will feel stiff
