Hurricane 8, underrated, overlooked rubber?

[Mazda6GT]

Whats the reason to use H8 with 20 sponge instead of H3 with 20 sponge?

I wish I know, my guess is they like the H8 topsheet better.

I tried boosted H8 today, and I am blown away.

How many layers of Seamoon would you recommend?

BTW, just opened H8 39d 2.15 and it doesn't smell like a rotten fish. I am worried 😂

Mine was on pretty light side, just 62g uncut. As I see on Rubber Mass DB the range can be rather wide.
It didn't dome after 1st layer of Seamoon and moderately domed after the 2nd one.

Speed is quite high even though just bouncing the ball doesn't suggest it, considerably faster than unboosted Big Dipper, perhaps 1 layer could be enough. I liked it much more than Battle 2 due to more elastic topsheet.
I wish the throw angle were a bit higher. Later I will try to put it on all-wood blade and move Glayzer 09c to inner carbon one and see how blades will affect their speed and throw.

Bloom Power is pretty awesome. Its hard and grippy with good catapult. It really is like boosted H3. Forehand looping really stands out for the power and spin and arc and control.

H8 on bh has hits and misses. Its hard and tacky, so it pushes and loops well. But for block and drive, it is weak. There isnt enough catapult on bh, and its very spin sensitive. Blocks can go wild quite often. I feel big dipper is a better bh rubber.

Have you ever tried bloom arc ? if yes what is the difference between arc and power on fh ?
