Good time of day!
So, once again, a question about the hurricanes! BUT! That's not as simple as it might seem at first (I just couldn't find something similar; if anything, I apologize for repeating).
OK, so I want to make a set in future, and I want to find out which rubber pair is best. I like Chinese rubbers, so I'd like to make them on both sides of a blade. I had some thoughts about putting a tensor on the backhand side, but since they're not such long-living, expensive and uncontrollable, I'd better put Chinese ones.
The blade I'm gonna use is Palio CAT as one of the most lightweight ones.
So, I mainly need a comparison between commercial hurricanes (I don't have much money to buy provincial and national ones, but tell about them too; would be interesting 'cause opinions are different) and H8. Their weight when cut (if possible), tackiness, hardness, etc (OK, hardness you might choose, but still — how do they feel with same density number?).
How should I better do? Should I put the hardest H8 on forehand and H3N on the backhand? Or vice-versa? Or maybe regular H3 on the FH and H3N on the BH?
I know that in question of the tackiness there's something like H3(N) < H8 (<H3(N) provincial & national) but I can be wrong. Correct me, please, if it's not.
(no, it's not a math lesson. =))
I also had a poor experience using Super 999T — it was heavy, hard and super-bouncy due to lack of tackiness (the main problem; not what I expected at all). Don't know about 999T-1 though. Are they comparable to hurricanes? It's inconsistent too, people say.
Much thanks for any help!
