Boosted Hurricane 3 Neo OS or BS?

[ber]

I've read that BS is more dense and more power reservoir, durability wise someone said that they had use their OS for 300+ hours and only 10% drop in performance, this is going to be my 1st time buying a Hurricane
Any major diff with neo and normal hurricane?

Neo version is pre-boosted. Normal One isn't.

That's it?

 

[Faker]

That's it?

Yep.

 

[ber]

Yep.

wow

 

[Faker]

But they still need boosting. Buy Haifu Seemoon and the rubber becomes a monster.

 

[Faker]

wow

I know that you are going to buy a Hl5, but you can ask SDC to make a special (for your gaming style) blade for you. Their blades are first quality.

How about shipping and payment tho? Also Tax and stuff so i think it's going to be a hassle

Nope. The Neo version is designed to handle boosting and water based glue. The original version is designed to be speed glued.

...in reality, it doesn't matter much. Neo is a bit more lively out of the package but the difference between both when boosted is minimal.

Some say there is a change in the glue used to bond topsheet to sponge. There's been a period of quality issues where the topsheet would bubble (separate from the sponge) after a bit of hard use. Probably under the influence of booster oil weakening the bond. But those are all rumours in the end.

But if you are not a pro, you can't feel that differences. Biggest difference is that it is pre-boosted.

In my experience you have to boost it quite a lot to become a "monster".

I have used and experimented H3 (always neo blue sponge, 40 degrees) since November and the last time was the time I finally got the boosting procedure right (hopefully I can reproduce it next time):

3 moderate layers of booster (I use Haifu yellow national), 12 hours from each other.

After the 3rd and last boosting I waited 24-30 hours and glued with Revolution 15 while still moderately domed, 3 layers on the rubber and 1-2 on the blade. I like to tense the rubber while gluing as much as possible.

The real marvellous sensation stays for around 10 days then the booster effect fades slowly, it doesn't have that wonderful click to it anymore. After 3-5 weeks I reboost it with one single layer (another 10 wonderful days and then decreasing slowly), and then again after 4-6 weeks. Then I change it but just because it got too soft, I think I'll try ordering black haifu and see if I can prolong its life.
From what I read everyone has their preferred boosting method, I think it is worth it to experiment a bit, the expense is still so much less (for me, all costs and durability considered, around half the cost) than with a high-end ESN rubber.

I came from very hard hybrid rubbers and still h3 doesn't feel as "lively" as them and it took a bit of getting used to, but to me, it was definitely worth it. If I try now other people's blades with tensor rubbers on forehand they give me the impression of flying off the bat and having "less substance".

I could definitely feel the difference and I'm far from a pro. That's why I'm telling him what the difference is, and then he can be the judge from there.

So neo and the original have little to no difference right? how about durability wise
