My review on DHS Neo setting (updated)

Tonight, I will first try the Neo rubber, not Hurricane 3 but Skyline 3, it is because the hurricane 3 are all sold and I cannot keep one for myself! I didn�t sell Skyline 3 and I got one from the DHS supplier. I wish more stock will be available soon.

Here is the pictures of my testing equipment:

Here is my review:

Setting

•  655 Hurricane King, 84g, 5.8mm thickness.
• Forehand: Red Neo Skyline 3, 40degree 2.2mm, DHS water glue.
• Backhand: CJ8000 Beijing Team, 36degree 2.2mm, Speed glue 2 layers.

Review

Forehand: The speed is fast, the neo skyline3 is so bouncy, the surface is a little tacky, the spin is good. The batting sound is so loud. I can feel that the skin wood is hard so that the ball bounce away very fast, it�s quite different from the 656 Hurricane Hao.

Mid distance looping: I need to adjust a bit on the angle of stroke, more upward and now okay.  The ball is fast, it works like it is speed glue! The most important point is that the looping is so good, easy to loop, and the curve is even better than my BW2. Better, not better to loop, but the curve is more difficult for the opponent to deal with, this is what the old DHS rubber can do before!

Backhand: Push is easy, powerful enough. The blade is very good in hand feeling, no vibration but I can feel the ball quite well. Therefore, backhand defence is even more easy than my current setting. About RBH, it�s fast, theCJ8000 is spiny and the HK give it more power.

Conclusion

DHS Neo series is the true solution in the post glue-ban era, the ball is so fast and spiny, it is actually give you the same feeling as the old DHS rubber with speed glue! If you�re DHS die hard fan and now still gluing your old Hurricane 3, it�s time for you to go a step foreward. The Neo is for you.

655 Hurricane King is still the HK but now more power and even more stable, no vibration but better hand feeling, it�s powerful! Good for near to middle range looping.

656 Hurricane Hao is designed for 2-sides looping, now the forehand is more power, it should be ideal with using Neo rubber for forehand, powerful spiny looping.
