Lighter weight DHS Hurricane 3 alternative ?

[TT Lover]

Good day to all TTD members.

Kindly recommend DHS Hurricane 3 style rubber but lighter in weight.

Thank you in advance for all recommendations.

Best regards,

I’ll be quite frank and I’ll say this to anyone looking for H3 alternatives in all aspects: there’s no alternative

Little bit of daily training with a light dumbbell (1 kg will do) or alternatively simply grow a pair 😁 😁😁

Hurricane 3 Neo is similar and lighter.

That will be hard ;-)

It's cool rubber, but not lighter, well, my sheet was not...

Hurricane 3 Neo is similar and lighter.

Neo is lighter than non Neo (provincial version), are you sure???

Yeah, since 2.1 vs 2.15mm
and you can use the neo layer as glue

What about a Loki rubber? It's similar to H3 and lighter. I like Rxton, Arthur China and Yasaka Bolo. They are much more stickier and similar in sponge hardness. I've been looking for H3 alternative for awhile now. I started with Skyline and gave up when the rubber lost it's tackiness.

Maybe Rakza Z extra hard, the issue is that hard sponge is heavy and so is the H3 hard topsheet, there is not a perfect alternative while sacrificing the weight at all.

I haven't compared provincial versions, but I would have glued hundreds of commercial ones over the years, both neo and non-neo, and the neo almost always feels significantly lighter, even when marked with the same hardness. I say 'almost' because there will always be some exceptions, with DHS's famous quality control.

I would try out Sanwei Target 3 National or Loki Rxton 3 Pro.

Do you add your own glue and do you boost it?

I was under the impression that due to the glue layer and pretreated sponge it must be heavier and that the glue layer was kind of useless…

H3 neo national blue sponge and 1 layer of voc glue on the blade only. VOC will dissipate in a day or two. This setup is lighter and faster than regular H3 with booster, but it costs more too.
