  • HURRICANE PRO Ⅲ TURBO BLUE

    User review

    Since I switched from Turbo Orange to Blue, here's a review comparing the two.
    Orange was already heavy, but this one is even heavier...

    ■Speed
    Light hits: Orange > Blue
    Hard hits: Blue > Orange
    Weak drive: Orange > Blue
    Strong drive: Blue > Orange
    Serve: Blue > Orange

    If you put more impact into it, the Blue runs faster, but it's completely a manual-only rubber.
    I no longer get the "sluggish serve" issue I used to have with the Orange.

    ■Spin
    Loop drive: Blue > Orange
    Speed drive: Blue > Orange
    Serve: Blue > Orange

    The Blue overwhelmingly wins here,
    but that's assuming you can do the tacky stroke.
    If you use a tension-style stroke, the Orange wins out.
    (Or rather, you basically get no spin at all with the tension stroke on the Blue.)

    The ball gets really erratic, so people blocking against it say it's "difficult."

    ■Individual techniques
    Receive: Blue > Orange
    Flick: Blue > Orange
    Block: Blue > Orange
    Counter: Blue > Orange

    As expected of the Turbo Blue, it's easy to use for everything.

    ■Other notes
    I have a small build, so I don't think I'd recommend this to players with an energy-saving playing style.
    If you're already someone who cranks out full tacky strokes all the time, you should be fine.
