    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    An advanced-level rubber favored by experts, featuring a hard sponge with exceptional spin characteristics. Highly polarizing due to requiring strong technique and power, making it unsuitable for intermediate players.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Hard sponge produces explosive fast drives when fully swung
    • Outstanding spin quantity, the best feature of this rubber
    • Heavy weight (around 60g for extra thick) limits player compatibility
    • Produces flat balls without proper sticky technique
    • Excellent for serves, short-range techniques, and counters
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveWhen you compress the sponge properly, incredible balls come out. For sticky technique users, rotation is exceptional and speed is surprisingly fast for a Kyohyo. The crisp sound is also very satisfying.
    ▽ CriticalAs a Chinese rubber, quality consistency varies with occasional scratches or dirt on new products. The hard sponge requires strong power and technique—without both, it becomes uncontrollable and produces flat shots.

      I really liked it. It's a great rubber!
      Both speed and spin are up compared to the Orange!
      But it's so heavy that I felt it might be hard for kids to handle. Adults should be fine, but kids might want to avoid it.

      Sticky adhesive rubber with a blister (Experience: 6〜10 years) Overkill performance

      Reviews by user

      After buying it, I noticed that even though it's max thickness, the sponge is only 2.0mm and surprisingly hard. You can kind of guess what that means already, but this time I only applied a thick coat of Fine Zip glue.

      I tried everything from light hitting to topspin drives, blocks, counters, serves, and the short game, and there's no doubt you just can't get the ball to sink into the sponge. But it's precisely because of this hardness that the max spin potential is high and it comes out with strong speed too. I had no real complaints even away from the table for topspin rallies or chopping. So it's not a rubber you can just dismiss as "hard."

      In conclusion, I think the potential is quite high. But I can't help but wonder if only pro players could really bring out this rubber's full performance. It's just so hard that you basically can't get the ball to sink in. You might end up thinking NEO3 is a soft rubber after using this one...

      Shuntaro (Experience: 4〜5 years) Insane amount of spin

      Reviews by user

      First off, being a tacky rubber, it generates a ton of spin.
      You can score just with a grazing loop drive.
      It's really amazing.
      But the rubber's on the heavier side, so I think you need some power.

      If you can handle it, it's an amazing rubber.

      Student City District runner-up (Experience: 2〜3 years) The blue sponge looks so cool

      Reviews by user

      Coming from someone who used Neo3, this feels a bit too hard. So when I'm off balance, all I get is a beautifully flat, no-spin ball.

    • (Experience: 4〜5 years) Good for choppers!?

      Reviews by user

      There was also a period when I used Provincial Hurricane NEO3 Blue Sponge, so I'd like to compare it to that.
      Both Hurricane Pro 3 Turbo Blue and Provincial Hurricane NEO3 get quite a lot of spin. But the sponge on the Pro 3 Turbo Blue is hard! I expected it to be soft, but it was harder than I thought. As for speed, personally I feel the NEO3 Blue Sponge is easier to get speed out of. For pushes, the Pro 3 Turbo Blue lets you put more spin on the push. Chops also bite better with the Pro 3 Turbo Blue. It might be good for choppers — you can get really biting chops with it. In conclusion, I thought this is the most chopper-friendly rubber in the Hurricane lineup.

      Adhesive user (Experience: 11〜20 years) For the blue version...

      Reviews by user

      I heard from Nittaku that a Hurricane Blue had come out, so here are my impressions after trying it.
      I used to be on a provincial team in China, so I've used Hurricane rubbers for a long time. Because of that, I think my take is more accurate than most people's. First, both the sheet and the sponge are hard, so it takes a knack to sink the ball into it. The previous model, Turbo Orange, was easier to handle.
      If you harden an AC sponge, it won't bounce.
      The advantage of this rubber is that it produces a lot of spin, I'd say. For Japanese players, though, there are more downsides.
      It doesn't bounce (because there's no base film underneath).
      It's hard, doesn't let the ball sink in, and so on.
      If you're going to use Turbo Blue, I'd recommend the regular NEO type instead. Or you might be better off with NEO3 Blue. Sorry for the long comment.
