Thanks for all your support guys we've just hit 200k subscribers! What do you guys think of the new TTD Rating system? 🔥

National or at least a Province version of H3 should be in this test to be more equivalence. Additionally, European players technic doesn't fit H3 as Chinese technic does. However, compliment should be given to TT Daily's efforts to compare them. tqvm.

Finally after a long wait , it's here , an equipment review 🔥🙌

I’m converted!! Been a Victas man for a little while....really liked their products...birthday arrives...treated to Dignics09c both sides of Innerforce ALCs. Absolutely delighted. Waited ages due to expense!!! Feels awesome. Loads of dwell/control. Very impressed. Leo

The H3 orange sponge and blue sponge are complete different rubber. H3 orange with haifu seamoon boost is more close to a European/Japanese rubber with a tacky surface. (The cheapest H3 version's surface is not as tacky as compared Provincial version, so with booster it's pretty much like a euro/Japanese rubber.) The blue sponge hurricane 3 is probably one of the best forehand rubbers I have ever tried. Especially on Butterfly out-layer blades like Lin Gaoyaun ALC/Zhang Jike ALC/Viscaria Compared to the orange one, 1. Blue sponge's control is extraordinary, it's just so forgiving no matter it's place short or underspin open up or defense! 2. The blue sponge is "low throw" and is able to "absorb spin". When you use blue sponge to catch a super topspin incoming ball, you get much more confident to get it on the table or even attack back. This also give me more confidence in service receive. The orange version doesn't have such "absorb spin" ability, which is why I felt like it's more close to an euro/esn rubber. 3. The "low throw" ability of the blue sponge makes it's suitable for "Chinese Playstyle". You can swing all your power without worrying about the ball will go out of the table. With Tenergy 05, the "big swing" will make the ball out of table. Actually I found out when you hit hard with max power, the blue sponge has more "power" than the orange one. Or I would say the orange sponge will make ball go out of the table with same power. The Blue sponge is also has its problem: 1. Toooo expensive. I found blue sponge easier to break with bubbles if you boost it. Lifespan isn't great if you use boost oil. 2. Not good at smashing high balls, you'd better twiddle to your backhand Euro/ESN rubber. Now I'm still seeking a Euro/ESN rubber which has the same "low throw" & "absorb spin" feeling of the H3 blue sponge, but still don't find the choice. At least now for me the service placement/control of the orange sponge one isn't that great for me.

Great comparison Dan, but I believe it would be more fair to add H3 Blue Sponge against O9C instead of Orange Sponge Version to the comparison. Happy bday btw.

hurricane 3, aka the extension of Ma Long's arm

Hurricane‘s sponge needs to be glued in a special way to manifest its true power,only Chinese Pros know that secret XD. There are 3 different levels of Hurricanes in China -amateur(普狂）,province(省狂）and national(国狂）.The national Hurricane is as expensive as D05 in Chinese market,and it is been used by many legendary Chinese players in different generations,WangLiqin was a big fan of it,even his blade is Hurricane too.FanZhengdong even use both sides of it on his blade. As you can see,they both are players who has super forehand with super high quality,consistency and control XD. By the way,Hurricane’s sponge also have got two different styles,the Orange and hard Blue,which one to use depends on how powerful you are,Chinese national players are basically hard blue users.

I personally have different views on this comparison,it's about the body motion habit when hitting the ball,Dan and his partner 's bodies both drew not large enough when playing forehand to pull out the real high performance of Hurricane 3 so they conclude that Dignics 09c is better.However,many Chinese players draw their bodies large enough so they can pull out the real performance of Hurricane 3 and play well,at least that's what I think.😁😁

So i’m a European who started with a European style using tenergy rubbers, i have since changed to a Chinese/eastern style using dhs hurricane and i must say the difference is huge in the stroke mechanics and angles of contact, trying to use the wrong style with the wrong rubber is just not going to create anything other than incorrect information about the ability of the said rubber. ( your/TTD conclusions are correct for the style you used but the conclusions if you used the technique designed for the rubber would be totally different after engaging the gears available in the h3 rubber ) I use h3 neo on my forehand and tenergy on my backhand, and there is a reason why the Chinese use this combination

If you're into chinese rubbers, DHS TG3 Neo is also a really interesting rubber. It is harder than H3 Neo. To get speed (unboosted) you should have a very fast blade. To fully enjoy the rubber good footwork is a must. Might be interesting to make a review-video about as well.

You guys are really amazing am loving your tips and tricks. Kindly bring more of them as they are very fruitful and we need more of them to improve our game and take it to the next level.

I guess you should bring in the national blue sponge or at least a provincial version

Your back! well done guys and good review :)

Not quite accurate for spin department and didn't mention the unusual arc of hurricane which makes it stand out. I am afraid that they aren't capable in maximising the strength of hurricane 3.

I own both of these rubbers and I prefer the hurricane 3 because it is definitely easier to override the opponents spin.

Yes, I love this! Keep these comparisons coming!

I am a little concerned about this review, I have enjoyed your past reviews a great deal. You are promoting "easy" , "poor form" , "less effort" into a inflated review for any euro rubber let alone dignics. Chinese rubbers speed is directly correlated to power input. it requires a higher skill level and stamina player. The players twiddle to euro rubbers when they can not put maximum effort, because euro rubber has larger spring but caps out, this is also why it's on backhand because you can't not put as. much energy into the backhand as a forehand based on our bodies mechanics. I think these topics should be seriously spoken about, it's misleading.

You guys play with shorter strokes, when using hurricane you need a bigger stroke (that's how the Chinese utilise the full potential of the rubber), Also the booster can make a difference, 2 layers is ok but you can use black oil haifu seamoon national version + a h3 national blue sponge paired with that will probably give u a better comparison, if not national u can use provincial blue sponge also, bcuz blue sponge is fastest

I use Dignics 05 and Hurricane 3 Neo on my Viscaria. I like it alot. Like everyone says though, you gotta have good footwork to really utilize Hurricane 3 Neo. You have to be in perfect position for strokes or it is easy to become inconsistent. I am working on this, getting better, but I am fat. lawl

In addition to the Hurrican 3: The harder you hit the ball, the faster is the Ball. Big difference between european and chinese rubbers. Chinese rubbers dont have a speed maximum and european have one. In addition you maybe should have included that in your review. Exept for that it is a great review

Welcome return and great review, I'd love to see some yasaka rubbers tested the razka x and 7 are really popular at my club the new rakza z looks awesome too.

Wow that was an really good review! Well done. Liked the presentation and the categories

Thanks for making this comparison! This is really helpful

Love these videos! Been waiting for this! Thanks TTD team! Greetings from Colombia

The most wanted reviews I want to see. Thx TTD.

Unlike the europe/japanese tensor, you need to strike more with power. Half strike and half brush, both at the same time in order to engage the sponge & take advantage of the spin quality of H3.

yasaka rakza series please (7,9,X & Z), also the new blade Falck 7 ply wood and carbon

They are both amazing rubbers for good control and spin!

Would have really liked to see a comparison with the national rubbers. If the comparison is so favorable with that version, should we expect to see many CNT players switch their forehand rubber?

For those that learned with Euro/Tensor rubbers the Dignics 09C is more familiar to those types of rubbers than the Hurricane 3. But for those that learned to play using Hurricane will find that Dignics 09C does not have the dwell time of the Hurricane 3. The feeling of the ball sinking in to the top sheet when top spin is irreplaceable. That feeling is only replicated by other Chinese rubbers such as Battle 2, Big Dipper, etc. TL:DR: Those that use Tensor rubbers will find Dignics 09C an easier transition. But to me it seems like the Dignics 09C is trying to be more of a hybrid rubber than that like the Hurricane 3. If you learn using Hurricane then you should just stick with Hurricane 3.

exactly the review i needed! been using hurricane for some time and wanted to have an "upgraded" hurricane rubber

Great review, would like to see Aibiss in this comparison as well. Future review vid incoming?😂

The rating system is a great addition! Nice work boys

The rating system is great. Are you going to go back and give ratings to the rubbers you have already reviewed? And Dan, you gotta try Yasaka Rakza Z man. I would love to hear what you thought of it

Great review guys but you didn't talk about hardness. Also there are others hurricane 3, provincial and national! (orange and blue sponge), take note that blue sponge is harder and faster.

Bel lavoro... Vedo sempre con piacere le vostre recensioni. Vi chiederei, se fosse possibile per le prossime volte, di includere anche le vostre impressioni (o misurazioni) sul peso della gomma e sulla durezza. Stavolta, poi, il confronto era fatto con una gomma boosterizzata, che a quanto mi risulta non è regolare. Sarebbe interessante il confronto senza nessun additivo...

You guys should take a look at the new Yasaka Rakza Z rubbers. As always love your vidz!

Hurricane 3 has different hardness on sponge which one did you use? Also glad to see you back, doing reviews.

Can you also please do a review about DHS TG3 or Skyline 3 National blue sponge. Those rubbers were used by top penholders like Ma Lin, Wang Hao and Xu Xin. I'm just wondering if they can be equip on shakehand blades. Thank you so much.

Thank you the great review. What thickness do you normally use for your reviews ?

There are 2 major problems with this test: 1. It should be the D09C with 1 or 2 layers of Falco Platinum booster vs the H3 Neo National Blue Sponge 40 degrees with FOUR layers of Haifu Sea Moon National Yellow booster. And 2. You have to use both of them in black, as Chinese rubbers play differently from red to black. Black is considerably more spinny and the red is a bit faster and harder feeling. Anyway, the National Blue Sponges don't come in red. When you do that comparison, you tell me which one wins each category. I GUARANTEE that the boosted H3 Neo National Blue Sponge 40 degrees whips the D09C's arse, even for you Butterfly shills. And that's really the biggest problem here. Why would you choose the commercial H3 Neo vs D09C. Someone who is thinking of getting D09C wouldn't be considering the commercial H3 Neo against it. They'd be considering a National Blue Sponge, as D09C and H3 Neo National Blue Sponge are about the same price. This right here is some hardcore Butterfly shilling, which TTD can't seem to stop doing. All the ratings for blades and for rubbers are embarrassingly in favor of Butterfly products. I own, or have owned like 90% of the stuff on those charts. And I don't have any biases towards any companies, good or bad. That's how i know how hard TTD are shilling for Butterfly. And how could they not? They do business with Butterfly and Dan uses a Butterfly blade, Butterfly rubbers, and even Butterfly shoes, even though he'd play better with a different blade and rubbers, and his shoes are fugly as shite. Plus, his shoes never match anything he wears. TRY MIZUNO, DAN! And guys, just announce that you favor Butterfly products for whatever reasons you would like to admit, and just stop lying to people. It's so shady to do that. I cannot imagine how many amateurs have gone and wasted money on the extremely overpriced Butterfly stuff just because they saw you guys talk Butterfly's stuff up in an extremely biased way. I've recently watched a bunch of your equipment reviews and I've found what I would expect to find from someone who knows they're biased and are being deceptive about it. You guys almost never say anything remotely negative about something from Butterfly. Instead, you'll frame things as a preference type thing. Whereas with any other company, you clearly frame things as drawbacks when you talk about the negatives. Please just be honest, or just start being fair and not favoring Butterfly.

It is normal that for you the dignics are better if your usual rubbers are European. You take advantage of the dignics because you are used to it but the bad thing is that you do not take advantage of the potential of the Chinese tires because they are very different tires with different game purposes and if the comparison is made by two players who play with European tires it is obvious what the winning rubber. For me, the video was good and entertaining, but when it comes to the comparison, bad from my point of view. I think you should have brought someone who plays with Chinese rubber instead of two players who play with European rubber.

Hi TTD.... I like all the equipment reviews posted and it was really fantastic. Thank you for sharing. Is it possible to review super zlc blades?

Finally got a long awaited review of Hurricane 3

I use the 09c on both sides of my Zhang Jike Super ZLC....i absolutely LOVE this rubber! Combines Tenergy 05 with Hurricane 3 in my opinion... just slightly less then each of them separately. Butterfly outdid themselves this time around.

you've got to remember guys that it can take at least a couple of weeks of play to start to get the H3 speed going. Try it, it makes a great deal of difference.

Very clear and easy to understand. Definitely one of the best rubber review videos.

I really like the TTD Rubber Ratings table. Well done. Will be usefull for me to choose between Stiga DNA Pro S M H vs Raksa 7 if you make the comparison too, would you? Thank you

"That was the best backhand he has ever done." You gotta love tom LOL amazing video as always both of yall xD

Please do a comparison with yasaka Raksa Z or another hybrid tacky tensor. It seems to be a trend.

it s more like 18 vs 105 in US. So a comparison is weird haha:). I d love to have the comparison between tenergy 05 at that price level. That being said having a scale definitely would help the viewers when it s time to purchase or try equipment so I applaud you for that

What booster did you use to speed up the Hurricane 3?

Great comparison in general. There's just a slight point which is the forehand technique in China is different from EU so it needs time to adjust to the Chinese style rubbers(if you're into the better performance out of it). That is also part of the reasons why Chinese players stick to hurricane 3 even if they need to boost it. They were trained with it since kids and already got used to it.

Hi Dan, great comparison. Have you switched to 09c?

Would be fun to see you guys testing out a national hurricane!

Even though I probably won't buy the rubbers, I still love the reviews hahaha

I wonder if the stregnth you gain from playing with this rubber will make it better in the long run because it has more spin potential when your topspin ability increases. What if you just dont experience its potential without playing with it for a long time?

Could you please do a review on butterfly Aibiss? Keen to find out about the more affordable version!

The difference and biggest advantage to hurricane 3 is the throw angle. If you watch the spin comparison again, notice how much higher the ball is over the net when using the o9c vs Hurricane 3.

how is the 90c compare with the Nittaku Hurricane Turbo orange/blue? I think those are more comparable to the 90c since it is same kind of hybrid. The only drawback is the weight of the Nit Turbo series, super heavy

As far as my experience goes with these rubbers (not that much) with the butterfly it's easy to get OK shots with not so OK technique, so it's easy to develop the wrong technique. But with a great technique, the hurricane shots become so much better, that when you focus on technique, these rubbers carry you to victory!

hi) can you some day make a comparison some rubbers with national hurricane 3? There a lot of differences between commercial and national versions of hurricane 3

Hi Dan, I read that you want to review the latest Gewo Equipment soon. I play the GEWO Hype Kr in 2,1 since 2019. The rubber is hard but has an high arc so it's still really controlled. It's not their newest rubber but great. Greets birdy

For h, normally you need 3 layer of boosting(remember to buy Chinese brand booster). It will definitely damage the rubber after sometime but it's still much cheaper compare to T or D.

Dan can you please suggest, which blade is more suitable for O9c rubber both side.

TTD rating system is great is a good summary according to the video, this is the best tt reviews channel

Question : how to know if a rubber is boosted? (For pro players and international competitions). My guess is that it's impossible so far.

Why TTD selectively review mostly on Butterfly rubbers (many are untouched yet, eg Donic series except M1, Nittaku Fast Arc series, Yasaka Razka series, many more are not there), why they ignore/ selectively answer most of the important questions asked in the comment box?

Good comparison guys. I also have this question in my mind.

I bought a sheet of hurricane to try at practise on Monday. Beware once you open the packet it really stinks, open it in the garden, I'll let you know how it plays as I normally use tennergy 05fx Now played with it tonight at practise, its great . Yes not as fast as Tenergy but control is very good. Great value for money. Buy from amazon, its the cheapest

would love to see a nittaku fastarc g1 review ;)

Maybe a Genesis II review in the future?

Is there a review on Joola Dynaryz Rubber?

Guys when are you releasing episode 14 of TTD Team series lol absolutely love it!

I agree with the ones wishing for a Rakza Z review and comparison; it would be really interesting.

Thank! Very informative video! More of these informative videos

Did you already test any blue sponge version of hurricane 3 or hurricane 3 neo? Orange sponge is known as being dead and unplayable without a lot of tuning....

can i replace the rubber on a premade butterfly timoboll cf2000 having carbon fibre.will serve the same purpose of a custom carbon blade with a rubber

Also, Hurricane 3 the amount of spin potential is much more, especially with the topspin rallies and the right technique. (power from the ground technique)

Hang on, if you've applied the booster, shouldn't the rubber be curled up?

Hello, I like your videos, I have a great time, but I want to ask, you who have experience ... can you tell that the rubber is worn to the touch? I imagine knowing how long you use it if, but to the touch with the hand it is known? Thank you

This is best rubber review i have ever seen!

Hello, I am from India..can you please let me know where to buy DHS Hurricane 3 blue sponge rubber?

Now, I am using timo boll alc with dignics 05 on both sides if I change to 09c is it going to be too slow or it will feel like 05 ?

You're probably aware the national team uses blue sponge H3 not the typical consumer packaged H3 orange sponge (not the same). I mean the chinese have dominated for years with H3, its definitely a proven rubber. While i havent used dignics yet, I have long used national H3 and its an absolute joy to use for someone like me who like to counter back away from the table.

What is the best rubber dhs hurricane 3 or dhs h3 neo?

If possible pls try to include a durability rating aswell.

Nice. I saw the Haifu bottle in the right corner on the shelf

High-tension rubber like Dignics/Tenergy series has a limit on spin & speed which means that no matter how hard you hit, there is still a threshold of spin & speed. On the other hand, hard tacky rubber or Chinese Rubber such as H3, 729 Batte II, etc do not have that limit, the harder you hit, the more spin & speed you got, that's why Chinese players prefer it so that they can hit as hard as they can, usually they include their whole body into the stroke to make it more powerful. Moreover, hard tacky rubbers are more linear than high tension ones, thus it helps to land the ball on the table even though you hit super hard. However, you cannot do the same with high-tension rubber, the ball will mostly go out of the table when you hit hard. Next, the hard sponge is less sensitive to the spin which helps to counter-attack, receive serves, and control the ball much easier but the hard sponge is difficult to spin the ball on itself, that's why they add the tacky top sheet to spin the ball easier. Last but not least, hard tacky rubbers require you to have good technique & footwork, if you don't be in a comfortable position to hit the ball or hit the ball with a small force, it will go into the net immediately. This is where the high-tension rubber shine, you can generate enough spin & speed even though you are out of the position or hit the ball softly Most amateur players including me cannot compare with the professional ones in terms of technique, force, and footwork that why we hardly see the differences between hard tacky rubber & high-tension rubber. With a small force, the high-tension is clearly the winner in terms of speed & spin but with the larger force that most of the professional players had, hard tacky rubber is the winner. And of course, larger force requires good technique (including whole body, power-from-the-ground, etc), and footwork (you can run around the table, and hit hard in every position :))). Chinese players usually train very hard at their young age with hard tacky hard rubber so that they can hit the ball as hard as they can, they learn how to spin the ball by their techniques without the help of the rubbers.

Hey guys, how does Bluegrip C1 compare to these two rubbers? How about a review? Thanks

Joola put out two premium rubbers if you wanna review them. I got a sale offer, so I'm thinking about switching to them.

Let’s be honest here Hurricane 3 needs a specific kind of technique to use it to its fullest but Dan and Tom do not use it so much so they can’t really say how better Dignics is compared to Hurricane 3. There is a reason that the whole china and their national team uses Hurricane and other player can’t even get used to it if they try to adapt to it

What type of rubber to increase speed for primorac carbon blade?

After all these years! Finally H3! 😍🔥

Does anyone know what table tennis table their using because I really want to get that one but I don’t know which one it is?

Nice review but you should be comparing the 9c to nittaku turbo orange and turbo blue for a better comparison.

Also nice thing would be addint to comparison new Rakza Z, Omega 7 China, Donic Bluegrip and other new tacky/hybrid rubbers from popular companies :)

You should do more reviews on chinese rubbers such as 729 and LKT, as that is pretty common on most asian countries.

What's the best H3 alternative if don't want to use boosters?
