What do you think of this rubber?

Hey, I just received a sheet of Hurricane 3 NEO National Orange sponge from the table tennis shop PROTT.CN. What do you think of this rubber for $92.00 USD?

Here are some photos


Sorry don't know why they are upside-down, Anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks

I think it's a really expensive rubber.

I've got this rubber and it's very good if you have the following things:
Patience with boosting and reboosting
Good footwork at all times
Correct stroke (Brush Loop)
Play a 80% looping game
Used to playing with tacky rubbers

If you are good at all the above this will be the best choice for you however if you prefer European rubbers this will not suit your style at all. Also this is the Orange sponge and not the blue sponge which is the better version it is more expensive but more powerful

It is not too different from this:

Except that one costs $22.00. I know, yours is the "National" version. They are supposed to be better. Maybe they are. But the difference is not that much. I will take the 4 commercial ones and the extra $4.00 in my pocket over the $92.00 "National" one.

But if you boost it, either the National, Provincial or Commercial versions of H3 are good.

IF you are a national team level player, it is a good rubber. If not, you are wasting your money - develop your skills.

Bingo: Wang Chen once told me that a player who is 2500+ would be able to benefit from the difference between National, Provincial and Commercial but a player who was a certain amount lower level than that probably would not benefit from the slight difference.

Greetings,

It's a bit like the talk about the red being faster than the black - it's so marginal that it's irrelevant.

kindest regards,
