The DHS National Hurricane 3 Blue Sponge represents the highest performance level within the Hurricane series. Originally produced for elite members of the Chinese National Team, including Ma Long and Ding Ning, this rubber is designed for players who demand maximum spin, precise control, and explosive forehand power.
At the core of this rubber is the high-density blue sponge, engineered to deliver stronger rebound, higher energy transfer, and improved elasticity compared with the standard orange sponge versions. When paired with the extremely tacky Hurricane topsheet, the rubber produces exceptional grip on the ball, allowing players to generate devastating spin on serves, opening loops, and counter-attacks.
The 42° sponge hardness, combined with a 2.1mm thickness, provides the solid and direct feel required for the Chinese forehand technique. Players who utilize full body mechanics and explosive acceleration will experience powerful forward penetration, heavy topspin, and outstanding shot stability. The rubber excels in third-ball attacks, heavy forehand loops, and aggressive topspin rallies from both close to the table and mid-distance.
Compared with commercial Hurricane versions, the National Blue Sponge edition offers a more consistent topsheet, greater responsiveness, and a higher level of spin potential. This allows advanced players to maintain precise placement while producing the heavy rotation that characterizes the Chinese national team playing style.
Each sheet features the official DHS factory stamp and player signature markings, indicating its origin from the same production line used for professional players.
