Hurricane rubbers that are worth it without boosting

[lodro]

can you pls describe Dingtian BS ? how similar is it compare to LAC ? I really like the tacky-but-not-so-tacky topsheet of LAC and its hard-but-still-engaging sponge.

I found a post in this forum said that this rubber only last 1 week does it suffer the same fate as LAC

I have been using dingtian on my FH for many weeks and it still looks like new.
It is hard and exactly how you describe LAC :

The sponge is also quite hard but if you want to boost, you can make it as soft as you like. I have it mounted onto a 1550 HZ "hammer" and can get any kind of speed out of it that I want. If it would not be so expensive (all is relative) i would get one for my BH as well.

With this disagree. Now, I never was a fan of Neos, I always preferred the normal H3 but my boosted 37 Neo plays fine on a very very slow blade. I think we have to always give consideration to the fact that the majority of players in most clubs are not A graders or anywhere near Ma Long andCo. They often do not play a style that has speed as a major aspect. Spin , blocking, control and careful placing together with lots of backspin pushes has driven many a higher grade player stark raving mad

Agree, but unboosted H3 37 is a garbage

I have always thought that sticky Chinese rubbers require proper technique but not the brushing one. Brushing is more for tensors. With Sticky rubbers I open the racket a little bit and try to play through the ball. Their sponges are dead and when brushing sponge doesn't play but with opened racket it is easier to break in the sponge and the ball goes with much more spin and speed than with brushing.

Agreed, I'm also using a 39deg commercial version atm. Tbf, though H3 is the spinniest of all chinese rubber I've ever tried, it's the hardest to play through the ball due to its sponge being denser and harder. Others like Battle 2, Big Dipper or Sanwei Target has a more elastic sponge so I can feel the ball 'sink' into the rubber on contact, but the sink on H3 is so subtle that I always need about 10-20 min of FH drive and topspin to get that feeling

Try Bloom Power or Jupiter 3. Awesome rubbers with tackiness

Look what just got here by mail. What a coincidence!
Unfortunately the seller (Global Sports Store) lied about it being the new ITTF logo version, and since I compete, this is basically useless. Asked for a full refund, but I doubt I'll get it.
Anyway, I'll give it a go if LAC breaks prematurely.

I also got this Bloom Power without ITTF logo after my LAC. This is a nice rubber but not easy to play as LAC

No, I think you can definitely get a refund. Just show the promised advertising and the actual product difference.

this is precisely the type of issue that the dispute system exists for.

They love a good little video at aliexpress , otherwise 2 photos that show the 2 different
rubbers should do the trick. It can be a bit of a lottery at the olde dispute tribunal.
Best of luck.

Does depend of course who is doing the refereeing on the day.
I bought a couple of blades that advertised an ALC inner layer but
got just a thin only black carbon layer. (maybe just black paper).
I made photos and the video and still got nothing out of it.

Just between you and me, remember the photos of the clear plastic rubber covers that arrived here folded in half ?
I got my money back on those but the glue with the brush at the bottom of the bottle that needed glueing into the top got me nothing. I mean just how many people can make up an epoxy glue reinforced with microfibers and glue the brush into the lid. ?

Yeah, I mean folded plastic cover doesn't sound too bad. I wouldn't even have thought to file a dispute on that. But they gave you a refund, which shows that it is still fairly easy to get a refund.

Not sure about the broken brush... definitely sounds like a easy dispute as well.

ALC inner layer sounds easy if the blade looks very different from the promised photos. I've never gotten a blade that looks different from the photos.

WHAT ?????? If one can not lay the plastic very snugly against the clean rubber , avoiding airbubbles etc., one might as well not bother with them. Sticky rubbers need plastic covers. Like this they are useless:

Yeah, i sure got the wrong referee on this item. I showed not only close up pictures of various blades, demonstrating the clear difference between just carbon (all black) and the typical ALC layup which is either yellow/black or black with a color. I even showed samples of plain carbon and hybrids that I have still laying around but nope, no cigar.
