Provential H3 Review

what does chinese level 1 coach mean?

provincial hurricane 3 rubbers don't have a package.

Regarding provential rubbers not having a package:  Hard to say.   I've seen the provential rubbers on the internet that come in a box with no package.  I also see that my sheet does not have the red rectangular stamp with thickness and durometer on the sponge like I've seen on pictures of provential rubber and on the commercial H3 that I've got.   But, a translator told me that Coach Wang has a quantity of provential and national rubbers and that he only sells it very very selectively.  A second translator said it was provential team rubber.   Unfortunately there is a language barrier and often the translations are not so good either.  I will have to inquire as to if this "Very very good rubber,  can't get in US" is "Provential" or some other elite grade of H3.   Occam's razor suggests it is "Provential" since I seriously doubt he would give me a sheet of national.  None the less, I've never seen Provential on the internet that was listed with 37 or 38 durometer.   The rubber topsheet while sticky like other Hurricanes also feels softer.  Clearly this is select rubber.

Its also clear that this is a special sheet of rubber and it comes from an individual with the right pedigree: 

Coach Wang arranged to have 3 professional practice players come spend 3 - 6 months in the US to train at 3 clubs.  One went to Maryland to Cheng Yinqhua's place.  One went to Indiana to Danny's Seemiller's place.  And as the best, player, Wang Yin, a provential team player, came to Dallas to Coach Wang's place.  Wang Yin won the Golden State Open on his way to Dallas, defeating Stephen Feth (Stephen's first defeat in the US if I understand correctly.)  

Coach Wang is also a Chinese level 1 coach (which means he brought up a player who won an important international competition), and since he is friends with XuShaoFa, (Former World Champion and Former Chinese National Coach).

I'll see if I can get a better translation of what type of elite Hurricane 3 this is.

Also, I now think the sponge may be 37 hardness and not 39.  The coach openned the package (with some reverence and thumbs up) and I only briefly got a look at the durometer sticker on the outside so I might have remembered it wrong.  I think this because today, he was showing it to another fellow who translated that it was 37.  

On the backside ther is no durometer stamp, just the serial number at the top.   Regardless, it is clearly much softer than any H3 I've ever been able to purchase. 

so wat happened to the other china guy that coach wong brought?  went to another place?

 

also...where do you get these terms haha. level 1 coach and stuff. coach wang....what can i say abou the guy haha. he's pretty good. gets all ur fundamentals up. but his game is flawed. since im in cali for 1/2 of this summer, i played with other coahces also. coach wang's style is very old.

Yes it is the provincial version from what you describe. From what i know provincial and national versions does not have a packge because these are the leftovers which the players do not like, so the coach leaks them out to the public.

< language=> I had (have) 2 sheets of 39 Natl H3...  Not that exciting unglued, really.   Softer meant better for a faster blade. < language=>

who are you wizardofoz?

I'm just some dude that loves PP bigreddawgie! Looking for some good PP gear like most of us I hope .

I trained with coach Wang for about 2 months early this year but couldn't continue cuz I have to travel for business reasons very often. Why? do you know him too  ? Regardless of what some other people think about him as a coach, he is a very cool honest guy that can still teach me a lot of stuff any time.

So, has anybody used H3 with Jap. sponges? are they soft?

Thanks.
