No, I dont want to get into boosting. Not that I mind the work, but its more the consistency. I was playing around with boosting few years back then, and sometimes it got too soft, other times it didnt feel right.
I want to see if I can just use it as is on my Carbonado 45
If you don’t want to boost you could also give H8 a try, hard or mid-hard sponges available, a little faster than H3N provincial, tack wears off after a while, but this just seems to make it better!! Spin is also good. Excels when looping on FH.
H8 was the first DHS rubber I tried, liked it a lot, then gave H3N provincial 40 deg, 2.15 orange sponge a go, unboosted, liked this as well, they are pretty similar to each other. A boosted H3N would be even closer speed wise.
On the price side of things, H8 is cheaper than the H3N provincial rubbers, I also found that the 1st 2 sheets of the H3N provincial rubbers I bought were fairly fragile, slightest knock and pimples chipped off, maybe a bad batch, haven’t noticed this with the 37 deg sheets I have.
So for less bucks you get a rubber pretty much the same as H3N provincial!!!
You still have to work hard with H8 though!!!
