I have played with Chinese rubbers similar to DHS H3N the laste five years now. What I have found out is that you can benefit more from these rubbers more if your technique is better.I have never played with any Provincial or National H3, only commercial versions. I feel that it's my technique and foot work that is the boundary I have to extend all the time by hard work and practice.
My club is a very Stiga/Butterfly club, so I'm quite alone in the Chinese product area here I'm also the only one here brushing the ball, and I'm also the one all club members think have the most spin in the looping game...
I have tried the ordinary Tenergy 05, Dignics 05, Stiga DNA etc., but playing more brush strokes doesn't give me any effect. Ah. You know what I mean. Hybrids. I have only tried the Nittaku Sieger PK50. It just felt too mushy in a way, and the Xiom TAU II. The TAU II is really close to a H3N with a softer feel, so this one works really well. I just missed the last edge of the catapult effect that I got from H3N. By the way, I've tended to go for the hardest sponges the last year, and it suites me better. Better speed and it's easier to play in a more aggressive way.
Regarding blades. To use these rubbers and get the most out of them I have used Inner ALC blades like Yinhe V-14 Pro, DHS Power G5X and an all wood DHS Power G9. These blades gives me no vibrations when hitting the ball, and that feels better for me.Right now I use a DHS Hurricane 3 41deg and Yinhe Big Dipper 38deg with three layers of Haifu Seamoon booster, on these blades and it's the best for me so far.
Just go your own way. Don't start using "easy" rubbers because everyone says that you should
i wholeheartedly agree..
Especially what hard rubbers are concerned I also found them better for myself. I sold all my neo's and now only play with standard H3 .
I also think that inner force/inner layers work great with H3 commercial. I play with ALC and ZLC blades and i also have a quite stiff 5 wood blade.
Nothing fancy is needed
