Hurricane 3 or Battle 2?

[Jan_]

What do you guys generally prefer? From my experience Battle tends to be more tacky nowadays, and also much cheaper. Their soft versions are quite interesting too, Hurricane 3 in 37 degrees seems to be the defacto chinese bh rubber. How come Battle 2 soft doesn't have more traction?

 

[riemsesy]

see my profile quite happy with B2 soft.. it's an other rubber than 38° and higher

though the H3 39° OS played had a very good feeling too.
It's the cheaper part and good enough for me reason, that I have the Big Dipper 39° and B2 soft (37°) combo

Imo, H3N is better in every department except speed.
The only real downsides of H3N are:
1) the need to have good health conditions.
2) boost the rubber periodically.
The price is roughly the same as B2 if you buy H3N provincial (orange yes, blue a bit pricier).

1) the need to have good health conditions.

what if you use it unboosted

Wrong, I neither are in good health nor boost more than once. I actually like it more after a whole season than when it was new. The only thing is that the tackiness is worn in the middle not so so much around the edges. The bottom line is you don’t need to reboots. It probably is more degenerative than anything.

where you buy?
B2 is about 60% of price of H3N os

Battle 2 prov can easily go down to 20 euros, never seen such a low price for hurricane. And with aliexpress sale I've seen it go down to 10, just bought a gold version for 13, no way dhs can go that low.

H3N os was around 20$ during a good portion of November on Ali. Purchased several sheets in that period.

Depends on the style. If you boost less, it doesn't mean other people are necessarily wrong.
Personally, I only play soft H3N versions with at least 3 layers of booster, because I rely on constant attacking—I want to spin a ball on the table and be aggressive all the time.

I would DIE.

It's the seasonal discounts of aliexpress. It doesn't have to do with country.

even on 11.11 I couldnt get those products that cheap. The nl government lets aliexpress add vat and other duties to the prices..
or next time I just ask you where to find the best prices ;-)

A good one is making a new account and taking the first buy discount, it's almost 50% off on some stuff.

How do you like the 729 Dragon F Pro on the BH? Which version are you using?

It’s not perfect like H3 for FH, but pretty good. It’s has a tiny bit more speed and catapult than H3 but much less spin. That OK, I can’t utilize spin on BH anyway, still working on this. I currently use the medium-soft (I think). I tried Dragon L before, but this one I didn’t like as much even though it faster. There is something with tackiness and short game….

There, it’s said. Stop searching!!
There is just one that’s perfect and now we know it.
The H(oly)3 Neo

Yes we know it. Only when the QC sends you a good one, the rest are trash. A friend bought one from tt11 and it was a tractor tire, my grandpa thought I stole it from him.

No, Neo is overrated, standard H3 where there is no factory boost or glue layer in the way…

You said you're not in good health, yet you prefer vanilla H3 without a booster. Even the CNT gods moved to H3N with tons of booster, how do you even play with that H3?
Do you drink Red Bull before every match? xD
