What’s the difference btw?
Star version very similar to national version, they just put a name print on it, player version that have tournament name and player name on it.

As the info from gan, player version will turned as by players request. But star version will not. That's why some time same player sheet have different aspects from different tournaments.
you know, I still remember when Dima talked out publicly that he will use soft/harder sponge depending on the tournament venue.
He would also glue differently (more or less layers of glue)
It was a video produced by Butterfly.

There is just so much to know about equipment, that the average person will never know of.

Lol, I know that, players skill and status change time by time, like sun Ying sha, she use 40.5 at Tokyo, now she use 41. Fzd use 41.5 at Tokyo now he use 42.

This is true. Practically speaking, H3 commercial should be good enough for most players.

But its just a game, and its fun to feel what playing with pro's rubber feels like.
LOL DO NOT use commercial guys, provincial and national are very similar and both reliably good. National really isnt worth the price difference and unless I was playing big tournaments again or getting it for free as a sponsored player, I personally today just go with provincial for coaching.


Commercial is horrible though, in my experience

When you say Provincial, you mean provincial blue sponge, I'm assuming?

I mean when you look at the price differential on Aliexpress, $10-15 is what separates a product with questionable quality and consistency (commercial grade) with a product made to pretty reasonable industry standards (provincial #20). Especially if one is boosting and hitting hard, getting provincial (even if it is #20 version) is a no-brainer. And even spending $45 for provincial #22 coupled with boost, provides a piece of kit that remains highly competitive even when compared to industry leading commercially available rubbers like Dignics

nah, blue sponge and orange both have national and provincial versions. Blue sponge tends to be harder with higher throw angle. Orange is definitely more on the side of being less arcy, bouncier and softer. I like both but if I'm feeling strong I'll use the blue given it is more venomous to play against

Also, do you know if there is a difference between the regular Hurricane 3 and the H3 Neo version?

I have heard that Neo reacts stronger to booster (and therefore is more catapulty/powerful). Do know if there is a difference in how they react to booster?
