Compared to the older Hurricane, this one feels a bit lighter. It also seems softer, doesn't it?
With this hardness, you can hit drives that really sink into the sponge. It's also made it easier to mix spin-heavy drives with brushed, snappier drives. The speed, though, is only a bit faster than the high-elasticity version — though that might be partly due to the blade. You shouldn't play this away from the table. If you put it on an offensive blade, speed isn't really a concern.Chops cut very well and stay low. It's also easy to vary the spin. Pushes against a ball fed in close to the table also settle onto the table nicely, and the sharpness of the cut is excellent. There's no real speed, but it gives a huge sense of security. That becomes an advantage in matches. The bite on serves is also good. This level of tackiness might actually make it easier to put heavy cut on the ball. The trajectory is low too.
Compared to the traditional Hurricane, this one is clearly weaker in terms of spin, but the bounce and ease of use have improved, and I think it's opened the rubber up to a wider range of players. That said, since rubbers like this reflect the user's own swing speed directly in the quality of the ball, I wouldn't recommend it to players with a slow swing.

This rubber puts a huge amount of spin on the ball!
A lot of people say the spin is amazing but everything else is so-so, but if you keep practicing with it, it turns out to be an absolutely amazing rubber!
If there's one downside, it's that if you get careless, the spin just won't come.All Speed Spin Control

It wasn't as tacky as I expected, but it still puts a huge amount of spin on the ball.
On top of that, it has surprisingly good bounce, so it's easy to generate speed with, and I think it's easy to use overall.
That said, it's easily affected by the opponent's spin, so control is difficult.All Speed Spin Control

Nittaku's Hurricane 3 was pretty good, so I tried this one thinking it would have a bit more bounce.
Compared to a regular Hurricane 3, this rubber is harder and releases the ball faster, so if you don't hit it firmly, it won't go in. There's less of a feeling that the rubber will bail you out if you hit it half-heartedly. If you don't hit it properly, it basically becomes a rubber that's only good for serves.
On the other hand, when you hit hard, you can feel the tacky rubber backing you up, and you can land satisfying shots even from a somewhat awkward position, but while the speed is decent, the trajectory becomes a clean, predictable ball, and it seems easy for opponents to block. If anything, a regular Hurricane 3 doesn't produce as clean a ball when you hit it, but that gives it a unique quality, and more often than not opponents actually had a harder time stopping it.
Still, because it's harder, smashes and volleys are easier to pull off than with the Hurricane 3. When you just make normal contact it doesn't bounce much, but if you really hit it, you get plenty of speed.
These days, tension rubbers have become the norm, and there are a lot of rubbers where the ball flies unusually far even without a particularly good swing. This one doesn't carry like that, but it changes trajectory in a distinct way and still bounces when you smash it, so I think it throws opponents off quite a bit.
Also, if you keep using it, it stops bouncing well before the tackiness even wears off.

It grips the ball really well for spin. Your serves get stronger.
But it's a bit heavy, so either pair it with a lighter blade or
make up for it with your own arm strength. It's heavier than anything else out there for comparison,
but since it already comes pre-treated on the base, it still has decent bounce and is easy to use. It's still hard as ever,
but it's a shame that it gradually stops bouncing over time.
If you're used to Chinese rubbers, why not try this as a step up?

I'll compare Hurricane (hereafter "Hurricane") and Skyline (hereafter "Skyline").
Serve: Overall, Skyline > Hurricane
Amount of spin: Hurricane > Skyline
Handling: Hurricane > Skyline
Ease of faking: Skyline > Hurricane
Hurricane makes it hard to hit a fast long serve, so it's difficult to mix long and short for fakes.Receive: Overall, Skyline > Hurricane
Push/stop: Hurricane > Skyline
Flick: Skyline > Hurricane
Skyline releases the ball faster, but Hurricane has better spin.
Hurricane is definitely better suited for putting heavy cut on the ball.Drive: Overall, Skyline > Hurricane
Skyline outperformed Hurricane here, but honestly this probably comes down to personal feel.
For players who score with counters and blocks, Skyline seems better; for players who break the opponent down on the 3rd/4th ball and finish them off next, Hurricane seems better.Chop: Overall, Hurricane > Skyline
With Hurricane, the ball stays low and the difference in spin is very large, while your form is hard to read.
Since it doesn't fly too much, handling stops when the ball comes back short is easy. Compared to Hurricane, Skyline has similar spin but is harder to keep under control.The kind of player I'd recommend Hurricane to is someone who likes a hard hitting feel and scores points with loop drives!
