    Hurricane 8 is a new generation of sticky-speed rubber. The rubber keeps a good balance between flexibility and elasticity. A new high-density sponge with ‘MARCO-CELL’ & ‘High-Elasticity Particle Osmosis technology’ helps Hurricane 8 raise the elasticity by 15%. The player can also acquire a high shot speed with weak attack. Hurricane 8 provides unique spin and unpredictable arc and enhances shot speed significantly, which brings a refreshing feeling for offensive players. Hurricane 8 is specially designed to enhance the spin and speed for 40+ Celluloid-Free T.T. balls.

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    As a plastic ball-compatible tacky rubber, it is highly evaluated for balancing superior spin performance compared to NEO3 with increased bounce. However, opinions vary depending on the player's skill level regarding the ease of handling the tackiness and the balance between tacky feel and tension-like flight characteristics.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Spin performance exceeds NEO3 with stable high level
    • Bounce and speed performance improved despite being tacky
    • Powerful and destructive drive in front and mid-court zones
    • Easy transition for players switching from tension rubbers
    • Eliminated the distinctive odor of 已打底 rubber
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveWith a sponge featuring high elasticity instead of 已打底, it enables easy power drive and surpasses NEO3 in all performance aspects, making it an outstanding rubber.
    ▽ CriticalDespite being tacky rubber, it requires adjustment as it differs from tacky-tension types, and the hitting feel remains nearly identical to NEO3.

      I used it on my backhand. It's soft for a Hurricane rubber, not many people use Hurricane on their backhand, but the 8 is soft and flies really well. My impression was that if your impact is even a little weak, you don't get a good ball out of it. That said, it's perfectly good overall, just not something I'd make my main rubber.

      The feel is just a bit softer than the Neo 3, and honestly the speed and bounce are hard to tell apart.

      It's a really good rubber.
      It doesn't smell and it's easy to use.
      The only thing is, it's kind of a minor brand so stores don't carry it, and I've since found an even better rubber, the DNA Pro H, so... it's a bit of a mixed bag.

      Kyouhyou lover (Experience: 2〜3 years) A gorgeous rubber

      Reviews by user

      First off, the rubber has such a nice shine that it almost makes you not want to use it. I switched over from Turbo Blue, and maybe because it's softer, it flies more easily. Spin goes without saying, but I also felt the speed reaches a pretty high level for a Hurricane rubber. It puts out tremendous power on both smashes and drives (enough to scare my junior teammates). It's not pre-tuned, so I'd recommend it.

      Hurricane LOVE creative cutman ♂ (Experience: 2〜3 years) If NEO2/3 feel lacking, try this!

      Reviews by user

      I'm a 9th grader who plays at the prefectural tournament level. I love Hurricane rubbers, and I'd been using the Neo 2 with layers of glue for a while, but something felt lacking, so I switched to the 8.
      For topspin drives, I'd recommend the light grazing contact style Chinese players use. Compared to the Neo series, it puts insane power and spin on the ball, and it makes that satisfying "clack!" sound unique to tacky rubbers. It feels great to hit lol. But it does take some getting used to. For a while I had so much grip on the ball that I kept sending my drives flying off the table lol.
      I'm a chopper, and my chops stop dead too. The amount of spin is insane. Anyone reading this, try it and you'll see how amazing this rubber is!

      Spin specialist (Experience: 2〜3 years) Insane spin‼️

      Reviews by user

      I used to use Rasanter R42, but it bounced too much, so I switched to this rubber. There's no real feeling of putting spin on the ball, but it grips a ton anyway. This was my first time using a tacky rubber. I'd like a bit more bounce, and if it had more arc it'd be perfect.

      seisei As expected from DHS

      Reviews by user

      I'm using this now because it's DHS's tacky rubber made for the plastic ball.
      From here on, a comparison with the Neo 3.
      Speed: Neo3 < Hurricane 8
      Spin: Neo3 > Hurricane 8
      Serve: Neo3 = Hurricane 8
      For overall power, the Hurricane 8 is the one that punches through in one shot, but it's harder to lift and grind the ball from a low contact point the way you can with the Neo 3. Still, it makes up nicely for the Neo 3's weak points.
