To cut to the conclusion, this rubber is suited for defensive and all-around players. I'm a chopper. This rubber is strongly tacky and puts a lot of spin on the ball. Because of that it doesn't fly much, so you need quite a bit of power. I tried out various techniques with this rubber. Serves get a lot of spin. Getting spin is nice, but since it doesn't fly, you can produce really short serves. Since it doesn't fly, net mistakes and net-ins also increase lol. Drives get spin and take on an arcing shape. Even if you hit sloppily, the spin is there so the ball goes in nicely. As for loops, you get an insane amount of topspin that you can't get with other rubbers. Speed drives are a bit slower compared to other tacky rubbers. For blocks, if you just let the ball hit the racket it drops, so you have to push into it. Counters are really easy to do and the ball comes back fast, which makes up for the speed that's usually the weak point of tacky rubbers. Chops turn into strong backspin, to the point where the opponent sometimes can't lift the ball at all lol. But it's easily affected by spin, so it took time to get control of my chops. The short game is great since the ball doesn't fly much, making it easy to keep on the table. Pushes also get plenty of backspin. You can produce incredibly short stops that only this rubber can do.

Up until now I'd been using Jupiter 2 Blue Sponge, which a certain overseas rubber specialty shop recommends.
It's rock hard, but if you stretch it just enough that you can tell the pips are lifting slightly when you glue it on, it sinks in more easily and isn't too hard to handle. I apply Fine Zip twice and stretch it a little when I glue it.
The amount of spin is really good, but since there isn't much speed, you won't punch through opponents, but I feel like the spin often causes the opponent's shots to go over or into the net.
Since the tackiness is strong and it barely bounces at all, overshoot mistakes on smashes and flat hits have gone way down.
That said, I don't think this is a bouncy rubber, so I'd recommend it for players who can keep their drives stable and hit them repeatedly, or people with experience using tacky rubber.
If you like tacky-tension hybrids, this probably won't suit you.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

It's spin-focused, but there's speed too. Sidespin bites well even on chiquitas and reverse chiquitas, so I'd recommend it to backhand-oriented players too.

This really feels like a tacky rubber,
since it doesn't fly, shots like smashes just naturally land in
it really shines on drives hit after dropping your contact point lower
it's a reeeeeally good rubberAll Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

Reviewing this from the perspective of a junior high chopper.
Out of the Hurricane series, I've only used Hurricane Pro2, and maybe because it's a rubber from the glue era, it doesn't bounce much, but since I put a lot of power into my smashes and drives, the low bounce actually helps me out (lol).
When I loop at full power, it puts more spin on the ball than I expected, so it's harder for attacking players to counter it.
In conclusion, this is a rubber that's very easy to use once you get used to it.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Hurricane (Provincial Hurricane) type rubbers are often assumed to lack speed because they're spin-focused, but that's not true - it puts out speed that holds its own against tension rubbers.
Because the sheet on this rubber is very tacky and has thick pips, it's especially easy to use for the short game and serve/receive.
For drives too, looping puts on enough spin to make the opponent's block go over, and if you smack the ball hard, you get quite a bit of speed.
A certain table tennis YouTuber says that brushing is what matters with Chinese rubbers, but personally I think what matters is brushing after you've whipped/smacked the ball.
Doing it that way lets you use both the hardness of the sponge and the tackiness of the sheet, giving you that distinctive ball quality unique to Chinese rubbers.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

This is a comparison review with Hurricane Pro3.
To cut to the conclusion, personally I felt Pro2 is the only choice.
Pro3 is supposedly the speed type and Pro2 the spin type, but Pro2 is actually better for speed too. And of course Pro2 wins on spin as well. Which means, personally, I don't feel there's any need to buy Pro3.
Of course, once you get into the Neo lineup, 3 is probably better.
But if it's about the thickness options, or if you're buying in a store that only stocks the regular Pro line, I'd recommend getting Pro2 rather than Pro3.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
