Dynasty Carbon with Nittaku H3 Turbo?

[Emin]

Too heavy?
Too fast?
Too slow?
Maybe just right?
BH probably H8 80.

I got a New Dynasty Carbon Xu Xin coming in a couple days, got it for relatively cheap,

I want to let it be Assembled on the facility, since I cant really let them Assemble a boosted H3N,
i am thinking about the NH3 Turbo in either Blue or Orange, a sheet 45 Euro.

Blade and rubber supposedly heavy.

Any thoughts?

NH3PTB is quite heavy and hard, the hardness is like 42,5. I heard 2 shops say that it is a bit more aggressive than the DHS H3, like in the sense of faster. But I wouldn't say that is the difference I'd pin-point. The sponge is different, feels a bit different, but I wouldn't say it is faster. So, it was just mumbo-jumbo... It definitely is heavier, the setup is 5g heavier than the same with Victas TDE, and that I guess is also not the lightest. I like the top-sheet so much more in compare to TDE, that I returned to it quickly. For me, it is now the only alternative for the H3 BS H41 - but - it really is heavier and harder. The orange I think will be like 40,5, but I didn't try it, can't really say.

About your decision to let it assemble, hmm, eventually you'll do it yourself anyway, why not now.

BH - the H8-80 is popular now, but I prefer a rubber which is less spin sensitive on the BH, directer (lower throw), and still grippy enough.

My NH3PTB is now used and I'll replace it soon. My guess now is that I'll end up with H3 BS H41 again, and again, and again...

I was thinking Orange one as well, blue might be a little too hard.
And I can assemble myself as well, but i dont have something to cut it well enough yet, no edge tape and I want the special blade to be assembled specially,

I assembled my current setup,
the rubbers are a little over the edge and not cut cleanly, I dont know if im doing the glueing correctly (although i probably am)

I also consider selling to dynasty carbon xx if i can find a buyer, it will be brandnew.

Sometimes I don't use edge tape, instead I put a thin foam tape on the blade side only, then cut the rubbers with the implied overlap. That overlap is sometimes handy. For edge tape, e.g. the tape used by electricians is fine. Recently used it, it is 15mm, so I had to cut it a bit. There is many many options. For cutting, sharp box cutter is fine for me. Glueing, I like Revo Nr. 3, 2 layers on rubber and blade. I judge the glues by how easy I can peel it off the rubber, and Revo Nr. 3 is the winner for me. I don't trust shops doing the glueing properly - did it once - and it was once more than necessary. Cheers.

Is it Penhold or shakehand?

As latej says it's heavy and a bit different than normal H3. The turbo blue sponge is very dense. If you like the metallic feeling and sound of Chinese rubbers than it's addictive.
My H3TB is 65g cut, that is about 10-13g heavier than a boosted up normal H3 or H3 like rubber. That's a lot of extra mass.

The H3TO is about 55-57g cut so significantly lighter (still heavy tho) and the weight might be more attractive but I didn't like to use it. Not sure if it needs break in but while I loved the H3TB immediately I disliked the H3TO immediately.

It's hard to justify the extra mass for the H3TB, I think for mortal humans it's only a suitable option if one uses pips or very light rubber on BH, or one sided J-Pen.

The quality of both H3 Turbos is very high, the topsheet is much better than commercial H3.

I also say avoid shop gluing. Best case is they use good glue like Revolution or DHS no 15 (or some cheap Chinese glue that is like Revo) and they care so it will be a good job.
More likely case is that they use some German glue from Andro or Donic or whatever and those glues are a huge pain in the ass to remove from the sponge in case you wanna swap around rubbers. If you don't want to swap around they are ok as long as they don't damage the blade in the end.
In worst case they don't care and it will be a bad glue job then you have to fix it and immediately have to start with glue removal. While I don't think even the shittiest glue will damage the H3TB sponge but it would badly damage normal sponges.

I will weigh the blade, depending on the result I will decide,
I wouldnt mind to put my current H3N on in either,
it is just not cut so cleanly, and a little larger than the blade.
Also without edge tape i slightly damaged my current blade on the top ( not much) though.
I have a thick lemuria edge tape that I could put on one side.

But mainly because its a special blade, I want it to be treated professionally.
I agree that at the facility, last time I had difficulty removing the rubber.
I myself use dhs no 15.

Because the rubber is a little larger than the blade and there was no edge tape,
I hit the top of the racket into the table some times and it caused the edge of the rubber to come off a little bit.

Ideally, i could sell the XX blade, If i find someone interested for a good price.

I might post it FS soon.

Blade weighs ~87 grams, very good weight imo.
