Tuning Hurricane 3 National (Blue Sponge)
Equipment
Ben Zhou Asked 10 years ago
Hi Alois,
I know boosting is ILLEGAL but, I just bought a sheet of Hurricane 3 National (Blue Sponge).
I have been told that I should tune my hurricane before I stick it to my blade and play.
Any advice?
Thanks
Ben

Hi Ben,
Yes... don’t do it.

I already play with a tacky rubber, Yasaka New Era, and enjoy it. However, things need to be replaced and it seems to be impossible to get this rubber in US nowadays. I want to switch to Hurricane 3 NEO that seem to be very similar to New Era. But I found a really crazy statement: "Do not try to play with them without boosting, you will get injured after a certain period of time" (see here, more in comments). Sounds really scary. What did this guy mean? And what do you think about this "slowness" of chinese rubbers compared to eurojap ones?

Very strange statement indeed. Clearly there are a lot of players that play with Chinese rubbers without being injured.
Chinese rubbers are not necessarily slow. They are harder but with the right action you can generate a whole lot of speed with them.
