I have to choose a cheap chinese rubber. H3 NEO, 729 Bloom series, 729 Battle 2s, STN.

Hey there. Can someone please compare H3 Neo comm. 40, 729 Bloom Power/Arc, 729 B2 Gold, STN, Jupiter 3, BD 39/40 and H3 Nat BS 39. I'm looking for a forehand rubber for the TB ALC. I've used H3 Nat, B2 Gold, Big Dipper and STN from the list. I feel H3 is too demanding, B2 is too hard, STN is quite a bit softer than what I need, BD 39 is too soft and mushy. Had a bad experience with J3 37 as it was hard, dead and both mushy.

Now I'm choosing something between J3 39, H3Neo 40, BD40 and BP 47.

What I need from a rubber: hard but elastic sponge(STN and H3 Neo like), soft and viscous grippy topsheet, low to medium throw. I usually boost with 2 layers of Johnson's Baby.

I have played with D09c and some other euro hybrids. I liked them but I felt they had sometimes too much catapult and a too high throw. If you know something what fits all parameters but Euro or Japan made please let me know.
Price doesn't matter
Thank you in advance

Arthur China, J3 39, and BD 40 are all great choices.

Arthur China FTW. Or Yinhe Jupiter 3 38° for a slightly slower rubber.

Loki Rxton 9 H39, you can then upgrade to H40,5. For 1/2 the H3 price the perf. is very good. Top-sheet is elastic, for me very diff. from STN which I didn't like... However, now I play with Xuperman Powerplay-X, very good rubber too but more exp., and the H3 BS prov. is now getting cheaper, as e.g. @Attitude noted recently, so I'd actually go for H3 prov BS now too... But I took the bullet and got D09C, player in team wants me to stop playing with chinese rubbers ;-)

From the Japanese side the Nexy Etika 51 worked for me (coming from Loki Rxton9). I am using the regular version, not the Pro version (the sponge of the Pro version might have more catapult)

 

[mocker88]

Yes. Loki - Rxton IX 39deg, Loki - Rxton 5 Pro, Loki - Rxton VII 39deg and 729 - Battle III 39deg could fit you.

nothing can replace boosted H3
those H3 clones are somewhat ok, but eventually you’ll go back to H3

H3 Neo 40 , it’s better than the h3 37

J3A 38-39° is the best match considering your description.

But as someone who tried everything from your list (and more), I found out nothing can replace boosted H3.

H3 is the best Chinese rubber.

 

[RomanAngerer]

H3 is the best Chinese rubber.

No doubt about that, H3 is the best.
However, the author is looking for an H3 replacement because it's too demanding to play.

Hello,

Try Battle 3, not to high throw, good spin and a progressive speed. Forehand

YINHE Moon 12 blue, h-, great backhand rubber. So easy to play with and gives good spin and punch when needed. So easy to counter spinny serves.

Another forehand rubber I recommend is the new Sanwei Target national.

Good luck
