Initially, I followed the recommendation of my 2500-level friend from China. I did some side-by-side testing and found that my opening loops were spinnier with H3 compared to H8. In addition, I felt like having a little bit more safety on loops, whereas H8 has an edge if power-looping from mid-distance. Other factors that contributed in making me feel comfortable with H3 is its lower weight, greater sponge selection, and slightly better topsheet consistency (I was put off by a couple of very "plasticky" H8 topsheets in latter batches). The rubber switch was also a step towards tweaking my playing style towards becoming a more traditional FH looper rather than a flat hitter. Truth be told, though, I would be able to play within 50 rating points with either rubber.

There is no real "pro", "prov" or "NT" H3 in the market.
Falco is not a booster |

finally experimented with a commercial H3N without boosting - it plays fine but I suspect it is harder to win points as the balls are returned with greater regularity. For practice or pure joy of rallying it let's you put more effort into the rallies while having great regularity. The top sheet looks ugly compared to pro or national versions.

I cant glue a boosted H3 since it seems the harder the sponge the harder to attach it to the blade

You need to wait for it to fully dry it takes about a week on average. I rush and only wait 4 days while blow drying it every day for a few hours. Then glue it on with a foam brush from any arts and craft store. Do a quick layer blow dry it then add another. Repeat for 3 layers total. Place a cutting mat and get a roller or object to roll your rubber with then start from bottom slowly rolling it on. You can place it under a book or heavy object in case it doesn't stick 100%. Once it's on you need to have a good practice session with it then if you still don't like it or it has dead spots simply remove and take off the glue layer. Reglue and roll back on

I think a booster will either make the sponge softer or the same and not harder. Am I wrong?

It makes it softer but most people use 40+ degrees h3 neos and then boost to keep the control yet make it much spinnier than per se a normal not boosted h3 neo. Also if you boost a normal 39 degrees or 37 it's too mushy for fh usually.

Oh lol makes sense. Yeah that's kind of odd the harder the sponge the harder it is to attach?.....

Depends on the using glue booster name sealant layer of blade hardness of your rubber for example BTY glue + Falco Long + Thick sealant, on any 39 degrees H3 which cause <15 degrees dome --> you can't glue it on the blade, impossible FineZip + TRF or Nittaku Axel Speed + no sealant. Any D42 H3 could work, even >30 degrees dome.

That makes no sense. Most water based glues are the same. Some are thicker like the finezip and rev 3 thicker version. It domes because it's not dry yet and because of the booster sinking into the sponge. It doesn't stay domed forever. Falco just takes a long ass time to undone a bit. Hence why I blow dry it to dry the oil faster.

There's also another reason behind that being you over boosted and it's just insanely curling. Also even if it's domed you need at least 3 layers of glue to make sure it doesn't come off. 1 thin layer and dry it fast. Then a thicker layer dry it fast. Finally 1 final thick layer and dry. After that just roll it on slowly onto the blade face. It'll be bouncy for a few sessions if you roll it on while it's domed but once you break it in it disappears

Of all those I tried I hate the butterfly chack 2 and 3 worst glues to deal with. I've been using donic vario, neottec, finezip, rev 3, Falco optium, gewo hydrotec, and DHS no15. They all worked fine with boosters. Now note some of these are thinner, but if gave me no issues
