Concern about a new rubber

[TT LOVEAAA]

Hey Guys!! I recently bought a new racket : Donic Whiper Inner Carbon + DHS Hurricane 3 Neo (Prov.) 39 degrees OS + Nittaku Fastarc G-1. As soon as i got it i teset the hurricane's tackiness it lifted the ball around 8cm which I think is good as I owned a Commercial sheet before. However, a day later the rubber has no tack, its topsheet surface is matte and the ball bounces very high on it almost like a tensor. While hitting topspins the ball gnerates around 75-80% of the spin my commercial used to. But, the rubber has almost no dwell time and also I don't feel that nice feeling of the rubber sticking to the ball and lifting it up while looping. it just feels like a european rubber while viewing and while playing. I also noticed that when i clean it with water the water doesnt reeally stay on the rubber and spread, it just forms bubbles on the rubber almost like the rubber is hydrophobic. My question is whats wrong with the rubber? Is this normal? Can it be fixed and if so how?

Pretty normal for new formulation Hurricane topsheets, unfortunately. Nothing you can really do about it, it's really just luck of the draw wether you get a good topsheet or not imo

My blue sponge sheet is the same. I boosted it and just gone with it. It lacks the insane spin good sheets have. Still very much a solid rubber and good even in humid conditions. I would just boost the heck out of it and play until it's time for a replacement.

Hmm.. That's interesting..I was wondering if its just like the way DHS makes it. Do you know why they changed the topsheet's tack? Thanks for the response. Cheers!!

Cheaper to produce, and modern game gives more advantages to speed than spin, due to 40+ mm plastic ball.

My H3 Neo Provincial OS 39 degree has retained the tackiness for over four months now. I clean it after each practice and cover it with a protective plastic. It retains good performance so far and shows very little wear and tear. Did you maintain it properly?
