Neo National Blue Sponge Hurricane 3 Tuned

[Butt Stallion]

Funny, you said you sell them but you seem to think those are commercial. What I see in Butt Stallion's photo looks like it is:

One Skyline 3 Neo National, One Skyline 3 Neo Provincial and One Hurricane 3 Neo Provincial.

Are they real? I think you may have to check the serial numbers, but the packaging looks right.

Where did you get them Butt Stallion?

Well, the Skylines I got from the official DHS europe supplier itself, called tabletennis11. I dont think they sell fakes. The other H3 prov. is from the US National team.

Well, the normal non Neo came always in 2.2. The Neo series comes in 2.1 AND 2.15, you can check this very very easly.

If you prefer non Neo over Neo is up to you, like I said, Neos are more powerful and all the CNT are playing NEO too so i dont think its a bad choice

Just check some rubbers of the CNT, they all play NEO

Playing with it is so sexyy what boost do you use??

 

[TT4Life]

Oh i dont use boost sir playing straight up as it, u can get the untuned one and boost but too much hassle to do that, my friend like to boost his every 8 to 10 weeks with Falco , he also has Haifu but effect not as long. Speaking of Neo3 i tore a Dime size on my blue rubber last nite which i use Hurricane Long blade. lucky its my all out training blade, i do that 30 left of my intensive training lolz. But before that i normal use ML5 blade which has identical set up

Hey i asked TT11 about this rubber http://www.tabletennis11.com/other_eng/tt-rubber-dhs-hurricane-3-neo#.U5H6W_mSx1A if it is a commercial or a provincial rubber and they replied to me like this "this is provincial orange sponge".What do you think?

Dont buy it cause the orange sponge is for speed glue era not. Water based and boosting

 

[Mr. RicharD]

Where's the stamp? professional's I've spoken to all say there's a dhs stamp and that the serial number is bogus and usually doesn't mean anything other than possibly the batch number. Another thing is that apparently the fakes have the serial numbers as well because the serial numbers were printed.

 

[Butt Stallion]

these blue sponge rubbers with the numbers are legit! Mr. RicharD is talking about the old H3 provincial non Neo, the blue sponges of the pictures are NEO! Thats why they dont have any stamp, old H3s blue sponge National hadnt a stamp neither.

And The orange sponge isnt for speed glue era ! There are orange sponge and blue sponge of each version, provincial and national, makes 4 different versions.

You can see clearly that Ma Long, ZJK or Liu Shiwen are using blue sponge, while ZHOU YU or Wu Yang are using orange sponge. The orange sponge is just a little bit slower (the sponge is not as powerful as the blue). It comes to personal choices about the rubbbers.

Speed Glue was the non NEO, NEO are for tuning. Its that simple.

All the blue sponge without any number can be legit yes, but they can be fakes too. The blue sponge rubbers without the numbers are most of them training rubers of the CNT. If you have good contacts you get good stuff, if you dont, well then you get fakes.

But without the serial number the chance is really about 50:50, you have to say how theyre playing! If the play extraordinary good, yeah you get a genius one!
The blue sponge rubber are getting faked much more than the orange sponge and a provincial orange sponge is a beast, so I dont need any blue sponge versions. Even Timothy Wang, Zhou Xin and all the Singapore Nationa players are using DHS NEO orange sponge rubbers (somtimes provincial sometimes national, depends what they got), how bad can they be if National players of other countries play them?

So what do you think about the TT11 rubber that they said its a provincial orange sponge.Is it true or is it a commercial on?

 

[Mikael Berglund]

I'd love to get back to playing with H3. It's a marvelous rubber. The only catch is that it is notoriously difficult to get hold of nice sheets. The commercial ones lack the crispness and punch that the national version has. And even if you get hold of a national version rubber, you have to boost it. And then the rubbers properties change over time when the booster is fading out. You'll need to have like three good national rubbers which you can have in different stages of boosting and re-boosting. It was such a chore that I went back to Tenergy. But if there was a reliable stream of good national rubbers with my favorite hardness (40) i'd consider to switch back.

The rubber of your link ilpaper 97 is a commercial one. Why? Because of 8 corners! T11 didnt understand really what you mean I suggest.
The picture I posted you see 2 Skylines and 1 H3. The 6 corners mean provincial. The Skyline with the 4 corner is National. ALL OF THEM ARE ORANGE SPONGE.

Blue sponge is very very very very RARE and LIMITED and hard to get, Ive never had one and I dont think I will be. Ive seen some National NEO blue sponge like the pictures above but they are like 200USD, im not going to spend this much for a rubber ...

Even the Skyline 3 in provincial or national are very hard to get, T11 only have them limited one time in a year. The only rubber you can get on easier way is the Hurricane 3 (NEO) provincial and a old Hurricane 3 National (orange sponge of course, check out the OFFICIAL Li Ning Store, they got it there).

My suggestion for you:
Buy yourself a Hurricane 3 NEO in your TT Store or the interenet, im talking about the commercial one with 8 corners, the link you posted. Play with it on your forehand and see first how it is. This rubbers are not easy to play, but if you have the technique to play it, its the best rubber Ive ever seen.

If you enjoy your H3N, go for a provincial one because the provincial rubbers do everything better the commercial does. You dont need anything above provincial because this rubbers allready are for professional and we are even not professional so a simple provincial H3 NEO is the best you can get for yourself.

A blue sponge doesnt make you Ma Long, the technique makes yourself a second Ma Long. But I agree to have a quality product and sadly the commercials arent that good, otherwise I would only play commercials too.

The good quality starts at provincial and provincial is totally enough, but they are 50USD per sheet and you dont even know if you like them or not. buy the rubber of the link and if you like it get yourself a provincial one and you dont need anything better.

Remember a provincial H3 NEO is probably better than a Tenergy 05, its enough for each non pro in this world, believe me. And even National players of other countries are playing provincial rubbers so in my opinion there is not even any point for discussion here

 

[Mr. RicharD]

Last I spoke with Tim he doesn't use NEO because he doesn't like the crappy tune job. He uses whatever Zhou Xin use yes, but since I sold him his haifu I doubt he's using Neo H3.

 

[papgesig]

I sell them

Really?? if you do let me know what you sell it for.

 

[Butt Stallion]

I see. On the Olympics he was playing Tenergy 05 i remember, then he changed to NEO H3 and know hes playing something different again. Yes could be true. If you could ask him this would be awesome. What do you think is he using now? Haifu Whale 3? I tried it and didn't like it...

 

[agold]

ALERT!!! LIMITED TIME!!! Yeah haha but seriously ttnpp has a limited blue sponge provincial RIGHT NOW FOR 58 USD. I am not getting it because @Butt Stalion has inspired me so I might just get an orange one.

Furthermore the Hurricane 3 NEO provincial blue sponge of ttnpp is COMPLETELY FAKE! It is very easy to identify. The black stripe code on the back of the package has some writings above it, like H3N, 40 degree, 2.1 thickness and stuff. But the art of the writing is different to all the other genius DHS products. Its to small, the numbers look different...

Like I said, sooooooooooooooooooo many fake blue sponge rubbers. But the other one of ttnpp which is out of stock, the blue sponge National normal H3 of the white package, that was a REAL ONE. But that was not a NEO, it was designed originially for speed glue. But still its better than Tenergys for forehand. Unfortunaly its out of stock.

Just saying, forget blue sponge, to much fake and if you find a real one, TOOOOO EXPENSIVE. Stay with the orange sponge, I doubt that non professional players even get the maximum out of this rubbers so it doesnt matter anyway.

Thats why we could stay with commercial too. But like I said, commercial is really low low loooooow quality so you have to get a REAL provincial H3 (Neo).

Furthermore an other point of all these fake blue sponges is: Why should a professional player like GAO NING play a Hurricane 3 orange sponge, if its so easy to get a blue sponge? If Gao Ning is not able to play a blue sponge, Im not able in 100 years

I played a blue sponge version too and it played really good, but I dont think it was the real thing... probably a very good copy or even a commercial of DHS? But that one was never a real real blue sponge like the stuff of ML, XX etc.
Then I played a REAL H3 NEO provincial it was way better than the blue sponge I played before.

So just stick with your orange sponges DHS rubbers, these rubbers are great and the way to get is way safer than blue sponge stuff

But everybody who has a REAL blue sponge, congratulations

ttnpp's orange pro is real, though, right? thanks.

http://ttnpp.com/store/dhs/225-dhs-hurricane-3-provincial-version-6-edges.html thats a real old H3 provincial, designed for speed glue. they are fakes of this products on the market too, but i got one of these and it was 100% real.

http://ttnpp.com/store/dhs/482-dhs-hurricane-3-national-version-4-edges.html thats one of them most faked rubbers of DHS, because its National. This one seems genius of ttnpp, but to know it 1000% you need better pictures which they dont share

http://ttnpp.com/store/dhs/616-dhs-hurricane-3-national-blue-sponge-version-4-edges.html 1000% eal. The writing, the package, everything. But its out of stock and was very very limited. Yeah thats the REAL blue sponge they got for speed gluing time the old H3.

http://ttnpp.com/store/dhs/339-neo-dhs-hurricane-3-iii-provincial-6-edges.html should be good! new H3 NEO provincial, I dont know it 100% because I dont buy from ttnpp, but you should be good with that one.

http://ttnpp.com/store/dhs/617-neo-dhs-hurricane-3-iii-blue-sponge-provincial-6-edges.html NEVER, this is a Fake! Even if its a commercial of DHS its not worth the money and play much worse then normal H3NP... so it cant be the real blue sponge, its just a commercial H3N with a blue sponge which get easly bubbles.

http://ttnpp.com/store/dhs/683-dhs-neo-hurricane-3-national-version-4-edges.html maybe yes, maybe no. Nationals of the NEO series are very very limited. Does ttnpp has the good contacts? I dont know, somebody had to check it out first... But still a orange sponge so the possibilty is like 50:50 imho.
