Help with hurricane 3

[pedro.dantas]

I decided to give a try to hurricane 3, but still don't know what hardness and booster i should go with the provincial BS.
Given that i'm using rakza Z, is 40º ok?
Wich booster should i take?
- Haifu II sea moon
- Haifu sea moon
- Haifu sea moon national yellow
- Haifu sea moon national black

Also, i wish a booster that can lasts at least 5 weeks

Rakza Z is cca 48-49, so even H39 (cca 51) might feel a bit harder. I'd start with that if you like the RZ's hardness... So I recommend that, but taking H40 would not be a catastrophy ;-)

I like FTL (Falco Tempo Long), it's less slimmy ;-) Actually imo, it doesn't matter that much... I use 1 layer nowadays only, because I like the change during time to be less dramatic ;-)

Good luck. If you fall in love, there is no way back...

Here in brazil i only found to sell 10ml of this booster, what is the difference between falco and haifu?

FTL is less slimmy - meaning less like snot from nose - in compare to haifu... OK, that's meant half-seriously ;-) Also, I thought haifu may give a bit more speed initially but evaporates faster... and that is for me a disadvantage... you know given that I want to reglue as late as possible... FTL is better compromise for me... But if you can't buy it, don't worry and get haifu... I had haifu seamoon - but not sure which of those subtypes...

EDIT: Sorry, I misnamed initially... Got distracted...

Here's a chart

Falco long is supposed to have a longer, but less prominent effect.
I think haifu wears off pretty quickly and drastically

honestly if youre not a pro it doesnt rlly matter what booster u use

Might as well opt for the longest duration then right?

Tabletennis11 sells it at 150 ml although they're out of stock. They do have a notify when available option though.

So i should get national yellow or regular??

Depends on what you want.
For me, the length of time it works is the most important and was the reason I bought it. If you feel the same I'd wait until it's in stock at TT11. They do have minimum orders. Check their website for details.

If you decide on haifu, check out Prottvip site. Shipping to Canada is about $5 and probably the same to you. No minimum order.

Haifu 4 to 8 wks
Falco tempo long 8 to 12 weeks

After the 8~12 weeks do you reboost? or move to another sheet? How do you boost? Like the emratt tutorial?

 

[Marc]

Another thought, you could email TT11 and ask them when they expect more stock.

I used regular seamoon for a year. boosted my various rubbers about 8 times with it. i just got a small bottle of haifu national yellow. its def thicker and stickier like the pongprofessor's chart says. I still haven't played with it yet as i just reboosted two of my OS H3N prov rubbers (that we previously boosted with regular seamoon).

WHen it comes to hurricane and boosting and stuff, its all about the experimenting i feel like. my first hurricane was a commerical OS 39 degree. i played 2 or 3 weeks no booster, then i boosted. definitely was a lot more fun with the booster! then i reboosted again a couple months later and it was still good. eventually i felt like the rubbers were kind of dying (hitting lots of balls into the net that should have been over) so i switched to the OS provincial. i got one 39 degree and one 40 degree. I boosted the 39 degree 2 thin layers, and i boosted the 40 degree with 2 thick layers.

After this latest reboosting with the orange sponge, i'm going to throw on my blue sponge. due to ali express sending me different rubbers than i requested, i have a 2.15, 39 degree blue sponge and 2.10, 40 degree blue sponge. although i wanted to have two of the same rubbers, i will be able to experiment more to see what i really like. although its hard to get completely uniform rubbers because i dont measure how much booster i put on the rubber. i just use the brush that comes in the bottle and its my "eye test" whether its a thick layer or a thin layer.

How do you boost? And how do you reboost?

Here's one write up. There are many opinions on this subject.

To Boost or Not To Boost

To Boost or Not to Boost A topic that is primed to elicit controversy on table tennis forums is boosting, i.e., the practice of applying certain liquids and oils onto rubber sponges for performance gains. To place boosting in the proper context, we need to travel back to...

It's not optimal but it will work just fine
