Yup. It's Skyline 3, but on a #60 sponge.

This I am interested in. I like the Skyline 3 topsheet a LOT.

Nope - it's the code number of the DHS sponge. So, the H3-50 uses the #50 sponge, and I guess that Skyline 3-60 uses the #60 sponge.

The #50 and #60 sponges are the Tinarc and Tinarc3 porous sponges (have I got those the right way around?). I think #50 is used on Goldarc3 too.

They will be available in different hardnesses too.

I think you have it the other way around Andy. From pics I saw at least, looked like H3-50 was on a TA3 sponge. If the #60 is the regular TinArc sponge, I'll try this for sure.

Also there is H3-50 and H3-50 Soft? Has anyone tried the soft?
I'm assuming they will do the same with Skyline-60 rubbers.

Yeah, I've been confused about this from the moment H3-50 came out. I remember reading that TA was #50 and TA3 was #60.

I've just searched, and have a look at Antiq's posts here:

http://mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42032&title=dhs-tin-arc-review" rel="nofollow - http://mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42032&title=dhs-tin-arc-review

Now, I know that this means that the colours don't match up, but it's not outside the realms of possibility that DHS changed the colours around. Or is it something other than the colour which gives the game away?

Still, yes. I could very well have it the wrong way around. After all, if GoldArc3 uses #50, you might expect TA3 to use #50 based on the naming convention.

Yup, I used the soft H3-50. It's good if you play all-out, big swings, heavy looping. Quite slow overall though, so I didn't like the performance when driving the ball - not dangerous enough for my needs. Would need a fast and/or hard blade to liven it up. Amazing control over the table though. Probably becomes a monster if you boost it...

TT11 already list Soft and Med-Hard versions of Skyline 3-60.

I used it on a ton of blades. JRE (too mushy), Peterpan (good, but lacked power away from the table), Arirang (same as JRE really), Hypertouch (good, smooth feel, but a bit indirect in feedback), Calix 2 (really very highly excellent).

IMO, H3-50 (soft) needs a hard outer ply to help it feel more direct in play. A powerful blade helps too. The Calix 2 was perfect for me (I still have thoughts of going back to that blade, maybe when the new ball is adopted in my local league). I'd look to blades with hard wood outers - Adidas Avenger series, Stiga Emerald/Rosewood/Ebenholtz, YEO.

Although the Boll ALC seems to have a pretty hard feel these days, I'd still go for a harder sponged H3-50 on there.

I'd probably be using H3-50 now, but I've fallen for Big Dipper in a big way.

The good thing with Skyline 3-60 is that the Skyline 3 topsheet is thinner and more dynamic than the H3 topsheet. On a more lively, modern sponge this could be a good rubber indeed.

It probably won't be a speed demon though, so blah blah booster blah fast blade blah big swings etc etc. Could be a good control/spin orientated BH rubber, if you don't mind the weight.

Thanks Andy!

I might give H3-50 (or soft) a go since Ive tried H3Neo Prov a while back on a YEO and it was just too hard of a feel with not much elastic feeling + it was a bit too fast. I don't boost/tune so a slower/softer Chinese rubber might be decent for me. Plus the cost of H3 Neo prov is not the same as it was 3-4 years ago.

Well, H3-50 might be exactly the kind of rubber you would like! It is a bit more elastic, a bit slower, higher arc on heavy loops. It doesn't drive as well as H3N though, so bear that in mind. Using YEO might help with that issue though. YMMV, obviously.

I am trying H3-50 for RW5 backhand. I suppose it requires active RPB, like Xu Xin to maximize the rubber on the backhand. Quick relay on the backhand is not as effortless as T05 fx I am accustomed to.

IIRC, I only used H3-50 with the old ball. The lack of speed (and bounce) would worry me with the poly ball.

I have had a quick blast with Big Dipper and Moon Speed with the DHS 40+, and they work really well. I find these both to be a bit of a handful (for different reasons) with celluloid, but they are far easier to use with the 40+, which just takes the edge off the catapult and speed.

Oh yes, totally different to T05-FX. Passive play gets you nowhere fast with H3-50 (unboosted, obviously).

After my disappointment with H8, I actually tried H3-50 again but with the plastic ball and found it was actually pretty decent.  Not as powerful or fast as NEO, but very easy to use.  

I hope DHS didn't neglect Skyline 2 with these new sponges Confused

Mine has arrived. Red, 2.0mm, Soft.

A quick bounce test feels very slow, as expected. If you didn't like H3-50, I'm not sure this will change your mind. Won't be able to test for a while, unfortunately. Well, unless I give it a try in next week's league match, which would be high-level silliness.

Had a very short knock with the S3-60 last night before a match. It was on my backup Pure Wood. This is a terrible combination - the blade is too slow and too soft. With the rubber being fresh and tacky, the low gear was incredibly slow. And harder shots were really high arc and much faster. The ultimate two-gear setup.

It needs to be on a harder/faster blade, so I'll shift it over to something else before Monday's training session. I might go with H3-50 on the other side for comparison's sake. Blade could be one of Hypertouch, Calix 2, OSP Ultimate or JRE. I will think on.

S3-60 does seem livelier and more elastic than H3-50 on active shots. That's all I can say at this very early stage.

I allready tested it, the medium hard version: I can give you a comparison between H3NP tuned and this one untuned:

Skyline 3.60 is imo the BEST china hybrid rubber on the market. It is maybe medium to medium+ hard which is great, speed is almost like a Tenergy and the spin is way over average. Great control and short game on the table, awesome while attacking close to it, a little bit lacking of power from half distance. But my ttr in America would way over 2000 and I am playing a 5ply blade so this means lacking of power in half distance, for somebody whos maybe not that good and allready plays a 7ply blade this rubber is fast especially for a unboosted china hybrid rubber! Of course compared to a boosted H3NP or a T05 its worse because these 2 rubbers are end of the line in tabe tennis, but its pretty close to good rubbers like Vega Pro, T64 and MX-P. Furthermore the rubber is getting attractive because it works without boosting and its sticky. Compared to H3.50 its simply faster and spinnier, H3.50 looses agianst it in every way.

I didn't like it in flat hitting. H3-50 was easier. Maybe I've glued it bad. Lots of spin but felt dead when hitting (the blade was a Butterfly LSW)

obiviuosly H3NP boosted! 100%. But the point is that a lot of players do not want to boost and do not practice enough to completely play with a fully boosted H3NP and for them the Skyline 3.60 is the way to go. An other point maybe its not clear when ppl read my post: Yes the Skyline 3.60 is definitely slower than any Tenergy or ESN, definitely. But the topsheet is sticky and for a sticky rubber its pretty fast, if you play just a little bit active close to the table its pretty close to Tenergys imo, spin as good as a T64.

I had H3-50 and S3-60 on the Calix 2 on Monday night. IMO, there is a surprising difference between the two.

I've always has a soft spot for Skyline3 Neo over H3 Neo, but the difference between the two has always been minor for me. Enough to feel a difference in use, but close enough that I could use either and be happy.

However, S3-60 and H3-50 feel much more different. Considering the topsheets are the same as their neo equivalents, I guess the sponges are exaggerating the different properties (perhaps more so since I'm using the soft version of both).

H3-50 feels like a slower, more flexible H3N.

In the short game, S3-60 feels similar to H3-50. But once you start to apply some force to your shots it becomes very lively indeed. I can see why Butt Stallion makes the comparison to eurojap rubbers because the overall package is hugely flexible and elastic.

I still need to break these rubbers in for a few more hours, and I'm going to move them over to the OSP Ultimate. I think they'd be excellent on a more powerful 7-ply (Clipper?).

I glued it two days ago, I'll try it on saturday I think.

The first impression is that can have decent speed due to a 'classic' DHs topsheet. But I see totally lack of spin!!!
Difficult to understand from a DHS Skyline topsheet. Is not a problem of tha ball, I tried it with an old one and tha lack is the same. Spin is about the half or less than T80. Diffcult to believe.
The topsheet is absolutelly tacky.

After using S3-60 for a bit last year, I decided against sticking with it at the time.  It really didn't suit my blade.

I've recently switched to a Waldner Senso Carbon, so I've been going through my back catalog of rubbers to find a nice fit.  Big Dipper still works really well for me on the FH side (although newer sheets do feel a little harder than the older ones I had), so it was just a case of finding a decent BH rubber.  With this in mind, I gave S3-60 another crack, and it's really quite brilliant.

At this point there is around 10 hours of wear on my sheet of S3-60, and the topsheet looks awful.  Like it has been run over by a truck, but not just any truck.  One of those old, white 1970s pick-ups which belch black smoke and haven't been washed for decades.  It's lost a bit of its initial tack, but can still pick up a ball if you press down on it with force.  It is officially Broken In(TM).

In play, it has great short game control (as you would expect from a TG3 topsheet), serves well too.  In open play the combination of softer Tinarc sponge and thin TG3 topsheet gives a surprisingly elastic feel, almost euro-like.  On my slower, softer blade this gave me fits with the gearing, but in the WSC it feels absolutely perfect.  The throw is medium-low, but the nice thing is how easy it is to vary between a flat drive (with a big cracking sound, surprisingly fast) and a slower, brushy stroke (which has a higher arc).  When driving it's hugely accurate - I hit the white lines a lot last night.  It all combines to be a very easy-to-use package with a lot of flexibility and a do-everything feel.

Downsides - spin-sensitive, especially in service return.  Needs a committed stroke to get good spin, which can take a bit of effort on the BH wing (good brush or big drive required, anything less is a safe shot but a bit toothless).  A bit heavy, but most things are these days.  Blade compatibility might be an issue for some.

I'll probably switch to this on the BH wing for my summer league season and see how it goes.  One big personal factor is that the slightly tacky nature of S3-60 helps me when switching between celluloid and plastic balls.  I can still play the same kind of game with any ball without worrying about grip on the ball, which will help a lot in a season where we might be using any type of ball on any given week.

I'm really curious about this one on Viscaria. I've been playing regular commercial TG3 neo in 40 hardness, but boosted. It's very lively, and it's stayed really consistent. I was planning on actually playing MX-S instead of chinese rubber after I'm done with this sheet, but forgot all about the fact that this exists. 

It didn't sound like H3-50 was ever very well received, but did I hear a mention of H3-60 coming out? In my opinion, the original tinarc sponge was much better than the tinarc 3 sponge.

S3-60 feels surprisingly different to H3-50.  I was shocked.  Shocked I tell you!

H3-50 has LOTS of gears, but takes a lot of effort to get top speed out of it.  It's very linear and a bit slow.  I still like it as a FH option on fast blades, but I have big strokes on that wing so I get good results from it (it is tiring to use, however).

S3-60 has a big elastic feel, amazingly different to use when compared with H3-50.  You can get good kick on the ball with short strokes and it has a bit of the slingy feel you'd associate with softer eurojap rubbers.  Less linear and more bouncy though, obviously.  I've now ordered a medium/hard version to see if it would fit my FH needs as well.

I can see the logic in people wanting a comparison with the boosted Neo equivalent of each rubber, but care is needed.  The sponges on these DHS hybrids are softer and more flexible, which replicates some of the feel you get when you boost the Neos, but they lack the raw speed and top-end power.  With the hybrids you make looping easier and more variable (you can easily vary use of sponge and topsheet brush, like you would with a very grippy eurojap), but you sacrifice the hard sponge stability the Neos offer and loopkills and flat drives suffer.

These are compromise rubbers for sure.  If you grew up on rock-hard chinese sticky rubbers, you will probably miss that definite crunchy feel when hitting hard with these hybrids.  They do work much better as variable offense rubbers though, IMO.

About H3-60 - apparently XX was using this for a time on his BH (according to chatter on chinese forums, so apply with a pinch of salt).  Some of them have leaked out to the general public, but I haven't heard anything about an official release, which is a shame.  The #60 sponge does feel like a better bet than the #50.

I also like TG360 better than H350. I have not weight the bare rubber but only the whole package. H350 is 96g and TG360 86g so probably TG360 is much lighter. I found the Mid-Hard version is marked as Mid-Soft in Chinese on the package. It is still on the soft side for FH if you are used to harder FH rubbers. Fits RPB well for its weight and soft elastic feel.

Hi Andy,

I have some questions regarding the TG360 and H350. (Both unboosted)
On your FH loopkills (big full swings), which is more tiring to use?
Do they have the same amount of spin @ the big swing?

Please let me know. Thank you!

More tiring is probably H3-50 - it's just slower overall and big shots come back more often.

Spin on big swings - I'd say H3-50 has more spin, or it's easier to produce spin in those situations.  I was surprised how different S3-60 was - it has a softer feel, bouncier sponge, and mine were noticeably less tacky than the H3-50 too.  S3-60 is very loud as well and I found it to have a lower arc.  

For me this all adds up to H3-50 being a more flexible, slower H3N (FH only for me) and S3-60 being more of a drive/hit/block rubber (with still enough tack for brushing, suited my BH more).

Thank you for the reply Andy.
It seems like H350 does not seem to have a real "identity".
I'm about to try a TG360, while you mentioned it's better for smash/block/drives.

Would the Nittaku H3 Neo be a better bet for FH than the H350?
Faster with more spin at least?

Hi ... i havee tested h3-50 , tg3-60 tg3-60 national.
And all only on the bh side. 
h3-50 is rubbish rubber for bh .... not my choice .... to slow. 
but tg3-60 is the best ever ..... if someone says it has loud sound it is because he is only hitting flat. when you hit with loop it is very silent with huge amount of spin and speed with big arc.  
the rubber is the less tacky then h3. much faster ... not so sensitive to spin as h3. control is way beyond h3.
Tuning does not dome the sponge like on neo series. it just goes softer.
but the variety of wrist shots and gears are the best on tg3-60 ... this is clearly the winner for bh.

a bit off topic, what TG means on skyline's name?

can someone make a comparison between Skyline 3-60 and the Skyline 3 Neo rubber (39°)?

What are differences in hardness? Dynamics? Speed?

I've heard that the 3-60 plays more like a boosted Neo? Is that right?

Hey! We recently published a review of the http://blog.tabletennis11.com/dhs-skyline-3-neo-3-60-review" rel="nofollow - Skyline 3, Skyline 3 Neo and Skyline 3-60 that should be very interesting to the people who contributed to this thread

I have similar impression its more drive/hit/block rubber. for me it work better on FH and 3-50 better on BH

Recently had a few hours with my new sheet of TG3-60. I am pretty satisfied. The top sheet is elastic and hard, compared to H8 the top sheet feels different.

I’d prefer using TG3.60 both sides as I feel that the H8 requires way too much effort and energy. But in high gears the H8 definitely is more skinnier. However with the same gear you could’ve finished the shot with the 3.60.

I was wondering if I should get the H3 50 to replace my H8 or get another sheet of TG3 60 and use it both sides. Any recommendations?

Does anyone know of anything similar to Skyline 3-60 from another manufacturer?
I went back to it on my forehand a few months ago and the first sheet I had was great, however I have just had two bad sheets, one that had no tack at all and one where the top sheet separated from the sponge when I removed the protective film and before I had played with it.
The other hybrid type rubbers I have tried, either seem to be much harder or don't have much tackiness.

Thanks
