I used to use Skyline NEO3 before, and this one doesn't have as much speed as Skyline NEO3. But the spin on loop drives is absolutely insane. This rubber does it all! You can hit speed drives and you can chop with it too. It's the best rubber!

This is my review of Provincial Hurricane NEO3 blue sponge, 2.15mm, 40 degrees.
The spin performance is amazing in every situation.
Over the table it stays compact and controlled, just like you'd expect from a tacky rubber, and when you swing through it you still get a decent amount of bounce and unpredictability for a tacky rubber — it really is a rubber that gives you the best of both worlds.
When you swing through it properly, you get a heavy ball with a lot of movement on it, so I'd recommend using it on the forehand.
Also, bringing out the best of this rubber takes power, so muscle strength and core stability are essential.
It's easy to handle for a tacky rubber, so I can confidently recommend it to tension-rubber users who want to try tacky rubber for the first time.
For blades, I tried it with DHS's own Hurricane Long 5 and a Butterfly outer-carbon ALC blade, and both matched it wonderfully.
By the way, if you use it on the forehand side of a Hurricane Long 5, I'd recommend also putting a tacky rubber on the backhand (something like NEO3 blue sponge 37 degrees).
When I had a tension rubber on the backhand, even with the exact same forehand setup, the ball left the racket too quickly for me and I couldn't bring out its full performance.
That was the first time I experienced how much the rubber on the side you're not hitting with can change the feel of the rubber you are hitting with.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Tough! Unstoppable! The strongest!! Those three words say it all.
I'm using the 40-degree 2.15mm Provincial Hurricane blue sponge.
It's seriously easy to control, stops dead over the table, it needs power but honestly the drives get more speed and spin than with tension rubber.
I'll say it again, there's no going back to tension now
If I had to name a downside, it's that it doesn't last long (around 2 months) — once the tack wears off, wiping it with a damp tissue and letting it air-dry brings the tackiness back.
As for how to hit it: brushing it with the sheet gives you a really nasty, unpredictable ball; opening the face, relaxing your arm and whipping the swing through, putting force in the instant of impact, and rolling your wrist and racket head through the follow-through gives you an insanely powerful, fast, low-trajectory power drive — mixing these up randomly makes you really unpleasant to play against.
For maintenance, just sticking on a tacky protective sheet is enough.
Everyone, please try it and get sucked into the tacky-rubber swamp too m(_ _)mAll Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

It's really easy to use, and I think even beginners would find it easy. That said, I'd go for something on the softer side rather than too hard. If it's too hard it takes longer to get used to, whereas something softer is easier to adjust to, I think.

Tackiness: strong — Turbo Blue > Souki NEO3 >> Nittaku NEO3 >>> Dignics
Summary
Among tacky (tacky-tension) rubbers, Dignics is by far the fastest, while Turbo Blue and Souki NEO3 give a deeper, heavier ball (Souki being the heavier of the two)
For the backhand, Dignics is the clear choice; for stability, Nittaku NEO3; if you prioritize blocking, Turbo Blue; Souki NEO3 grabs the ball too much, so I can't recommend it for that
For the forehand, go with Turbo Blue or Souki NEO3; for something soft, Dignics or Nittaku NEO3; Souki lets you pick a hardness from 38 to 41 degrees, so it's by far the one I'd recommend
For choppers, Dignics or Nittaku NEO3; Turbo Blue and Souki NEO3 are harder than other tacky rubbers, so the feel on backhand shots ends up harder too (though that comes down to personal preference)
Because the tack is so strong, it's hard to drive the ball forward yourself, and it holds onto the ball too much, so it was a bit hard to use
Hope this is helpful for referenceAll Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I use Souki 41-degree (Japanese hardness 50) and compared it with Dignics 09C (Japanese hardness 49), Nittaku's NEO3 (Japanese hardness 42.5), and also Nittaku's Pro III Turbo Blue (Japanese hardness 50) *All at max thickness*
Weight: light — Nittaku NEO3 ≧ Souki NEO3 > Dignics >> Turbo Blue — heavy
Speed: fast — Dignics > Turbo Blue >> Nittaku NEO3 ≧ Souki NEO3 — slow
Spin: high — Souki NEO3 >>> Turbo Blue > Nittaku NEO3 >> Dignics — low
Short game (flicking-type): easy — Turbo Blue >> Souki NEO3 ≧ Dignics ≧ Nittaku NEO3 — hard
Short game (chiquita/brushing-type): easy — Souki NEO3 >> Nittaku NEO3 > Dignics >> Turbo Blue — hard
Block: holds — Turbo Blue > Nittaku NEO3 > Dignics ≧ Souki NEO3 — doesn't hold
Chop (ease of varying the sound of the hit): same sound — Nittaku NEO3 >> Dignics > Souki NEO3 ≧ Turbo Blue — different sound
Chop (ease of keeping it down): easy — Turbo Blue ≧ Nittaku NEO3 > Souki NEO3 >> Dignics — hard

I use Souki 41-degree (50-degree by Japanese standard) and compared it with Nittaku's 42.5-degree (Japanese standard)
Tackiness / Souki has stronger tack
Drive / Compared to Nittaku, this has more grip on the ball and Souki has more spin, but Nittaku is easier to generate spin with (because Nittaku's sponge is Japanese-made, so it's softer and easier to handle)
Souki was also faster and deeper on speed
Backhand / Souki had more grip than Nittaku, so I overshot a lot
For the backhand, Nittaku is the only choice
Just my personal opinion, but (even though I use a single-ply long pips on my backhand) I prefer a harder rubber with strong grip for the backhand, so personally I thought it was a better rubber than Nittaku
Short game / There wasn't much difference between the two here, but Souki felt harder and easier to flick (Souki lets you choose between 38-41 degrees, and there's also a 37-degree version treated as a special hardness)
Chop / Nittaku has less grip than Souki, so it had better stability
Souki has more grip, so it cuts well, but lacks stability
For stability or wanting to use it on the backhand, or for choppers, go with Nittaku
For overwhelming spin, speed, and wanting to confuse your opponent with every technique including the short game, go with Souki
