K3 pro durability

[SFF_lib]

1857 has reviewed K3Pro vs National Hurricane 3 boosted, D09C and K3. Quite promising except he didn't talk much about durability. He mentioned improved vs K3 but no details.

Can anyone shed some lights on the durability of K3 Pro? It's on special on TT11 so I am thinking of buying a pair.

Thank you

performance drops after 2 weeks. The rubber shrunk a bit too.
Pro is a bit harder than the regular.

Wow 2 weeks is a short window. What's your style and how many hours per week?

I assume this is basically like zgr or dragon grip.

Any difference?

What is the conclusion from the video? Should we boost k3 bro with one layer as it’s harder?

Neo 蓝国（灌油）= Neo National Hurricane 3 boosted. K3 Pro is 55 degree no need for boosting.

What this tells me, the difference between these rubbers is really small except there's a noticeable difference in flat hits on the H3.

Also, we're talking subjective here. I actually like the feeling of H3 Neo on flat hits, having a catapult on a stroke that's already fast and hard just makes it feel uncontrollable.

Agree.

Good thing about 1857 is he usually paid ex CNT or at least provincial team members to test. So that carries a bit more weight

Almost all the ESN hybrid I have tried are basically the same to me: Dragon Grip, Dynaryz ZGR, Omega China, etc. Bluegrip C2 does seem a bit slower than the first 3.

If K3 Pro is also the same kind of 55d ESN Hybrid, my guess is that it is very similar.

I’ve only tried Omega China which is disappointing. The grip is worse than the cheaper Vega China.

I would still like to try K3 Pro and see. If money is not an issue D09C is my fav BH rubber.

I wish I had known when I started that anyone can play good TT with any decent rubbers & blade. EJ slows down or worsens your progress. So, stick to the same blade and rubbers as long as you can.

I played K3 (and a number of other ESN hybrids). My impression is that K3 has a lower throw and higher speed than most. Powerful with good spin. I really liked K3 but…

Durability sucked. Like maximum half the life span of a SPK50, RakzaZ and of course this is more pronounced vs. D09C.
