DHS Hurricane hardness

Another thing to add, i still think about either buying a forth new H3 rubber or something else not MX-P or Nittaku for a new blade i bought to be for defense, it is a Cybershape or hexagonal look blade all wood 5 ply very very very cheap, i will put a LP OX on BH, so i need a FH one that can be nice speedy or even tacky, i keep thinking about another H3 NEO standard one again, i have time to decide once i test the second H3 boosted rubber, but i can't wait longer until that blue sponge arrive and glue it, but if i have to order that LP later then i can wait and see which FH rubber for this all wood maybe slow 5ply blade Cybershape i bought.

I once had someone tell me, they like to have it on the bh, as it is a very good blocking rubber....obviously we can all guess the player level of such statement

That is true also, i adjusted to H3 just nice, not a big deal for me, i just hate some rubbers such as MX-P or Stiga Calibra [LT or sounds doesn't matter] or BTY Tenergy 64, i don't know, it could be the thickness of rubbers or hardness or both who knows.

For backhand aside of LP/anti the most successful rubbers i used so far were those for now:

Tenergy 05FX
Rakza 7 Soft
Tenergy 80FX
Tenergy 05 to a degree sometimes

I hope i can choose good BH rubbers but not Tenergy again, Rakza 7 Soft was good on two blades so far, but for Long 5X i am not thinking about another Rakza 7 soft, but i can't think about anything else yet, i already ordered Provincial H3 blue sponge so i can live with that for now, and i have to decide on which BH rubber so i don't wait longer and order it to replace rubbers and start using my 5X again, and for that new Cypershape cheap blade i want to use it for defensive so LP, now not sure which LP as this is another long topic, bought BTY Faint XO from one player brand new for my YinHe N11 and it is CRAP bad so far, i was much much better using Yasaka Phantom 0012 on Yasaka Max Wood blade that i borrowed [stolen] from one club before i return it back.

What hardness? I mean this thread is about it, and you keep us in DARK :-))

Hardness 40, thickness 2.1mm

I asked because i don't know what hardness is of this rubber, i thought maybe it is the topsheet hardness, or maybe the sponge itself, and i wasn't sure if the number is opposite, as 38 is harder than 40 for example, but i stand corrected, and i ordered them before i ask for tests, the two cheap are just tests and not a big deal, now just i have to wait that Provincial with H40 to have a real test and impression, but i will have more blades, one is a Cybershape i got already, and i will buy another blade for defensive if this Cybershape didn't serve me well, so for both blades or just this Cybershape i am still not sure which H3 to buy as i bought previous one before i order the blade, and i want to stay away from Tenergy due to price and MX-P due to performance so H3 and Fastarc G-1 are my two choices for now, Fastarc G-1 has only one hardness version with different thickness only, while for H3 i have to choose both, thickness and hardness.

38 degree is a near par to Tenergy
48 degree is a near par to Dignics

Be happy

Does G-1 has 4 hardness?

Then I think it's best you wait for the H3 H40 and test it and decide afterwards.

Better than for example: DHS Hurricane 3 NOE H37 H38 H40 H42 H200,...etc

Definitely, but no harm to ask as i really didn't know what is that hardness number is, now i got the ANSWER from here, and i will get another answer when i test the rubber itself, thank you.

Hardness of the 4 classic DHS topsheet:
H2>TG2>H3>TG3

With the same sponge hardness, a TG2 feels harder and requires more impact than a H3.

TG3 performa better than H3 in some aspects such as feeling, speed and linearity.

The harder the topsheet, the better in short game and higher spin potential.
