New Hurricane 8-80?

says forehand go brbrbrrrr
I was scrolling my shopping platform for a new BH rubber and came across the Hurricane 8-80 Provincial version. Is there any chance that it plays better and harder than the commercial version, or is it just a DHS rubber with better quality control?

A Google search only gave me either the commercial version reviews or the 8-20 Provincial version. Anyone has had any playtime with it?

It's less tacky than H8-80, it's more lively than commercial h8-80, the hardness is likely closer to the stated hardness.
It is also much lighter.

Сhina rubbers by DHS all want versatility. Optimal sponge thickness would be 1.7 -1.8 mm. Dhs only supply on individual request, never seen on retail market.
 
I have one of these [H8-80 provincial] ... using with viscaria, It has great performance for the price.
Medium arc and catapult;
Good velocity; (85%)
Excelent control; (100%)
High capacity to create spin (90%)
Easy to play.

Percentage compared to rubber 09c 📌

a chinese friend of mine is getting some Pro sheets for me. unlike the commercial 8-80 this is also available in 39°. curious. the price is more or less the same as commercial version on aliexpress, so not much to go wrong.

H8-80 i don't think that rubber need the booster! Very easy to play!
also, booster (Falco Tempo Long) doesn't do anything ... at least on Hurricane 9 Violet, which has the #80 sponge. nothing. rubber is very nice to play out of the box though, but was extremely heavy. 57g after cut to Xiom TMXi. 59g after applying booster.

Which rubber is more heavy ? Hurricane 9 or H8-80.

Thank you sir.
Best regards,

short update: it seems this is not available in 39° after all, only 37° and 38° like the commercial 8-80. and so far it was only possible to get red sheets, black is nowhere to be found. where you able to get a black one @Migzkulit or just red as well?
