it's really a difference between rubbers and rubbers as well. When I started to play again about five years ago, I started with Chinese rubbers only. Right now I'm past fifty and perhaps I move the most among all of the players in the club where I'm playing. And I'm not a physical phenomena
I have been going from an old Stiga Allround wooden blade with H3 and similar rubbers, and now ended up with a Yinhe V-14 PRO blade and H3N and H3 boosted on forehand. From the beginning I used the 39 deg rubbers with a little bit softer sponge, and now ended up with playing the 41 deg sponges. All in Commercial versions.
To get the most out of these rubbers you have to play the Chinese style with the full arm swing and really get your foot work going. You wont get anything good out of plaing European style with Chinese rubbers and vice versa.
Now there are some differences between sponges like if you buy the 37, 38, 39, 40 or 41 deg sponges compared to the Soft, Normal and Hard versions. The 37 deg I haven't used at all, but bought a 38 deg H3N and I wasn't happy at all with this one. Too slow, and not giving me that H3 kick when looping. At one time this spring I bought a H3 Hard from TT11, but the feeling from this one is that it's not hard. It's one of my slowest mushy rubbers of all times. I could perhaps compare it to a 38/39 deg.
If you want something more lively, go for the 41 deg version, and I have found that the 2.15mm versions are more nice and give you better response when looping etc. But there are no shortcuts when playing Chinese rubbers. You have to work all the time, but when you do it right, you'll get rewarded
If you want the H3 effect with a euro/jap feel, try out XIOM TAU II, but this one too requires some work.
