HURRICANE NATIONAL 3 BLUE SPONGE

The Hurricane 3 National (Blue Sponge) is a premium table tennis rubber specifically designed for professional players, often used by Chinese national team members. This version of Hurricane 3 features a blue sponge, known for its unique hardness, elasticity, and superior performance in high-level competitions.

Key Features:

1. Tacky Rubber Surface

   • The Hurricane 3 National has an ultra-tacky topsheet that grips the ball exceptionally well, allowing for incredible spin generation. This tackiness makes it ideal for players who focus on spin-heavy loops and serves, especially in topspin-dominated rallies.
   • The sticky surface helps generate powerful, high-arc loops, giving players more control over their spin placement and the ability to dominate offensive plays.

2. Blue Sponge Technology

   • The blue sponge is a distinguishing feature of this version of Hurricane 3, providing enhanced power and springiness compared to the traditional orange sponge. The sponge has a medium-high density with more elasticity, allowing players to generate more rebound and speed without sacrificing control.
   • This sponge is also known for its ability to absorb impact during fast exchanges, enabling better stability in counterattacks and quick rallies. The higher density makes it easier to engage in powerful strokes, especially for players with a fast arm speed.

3. Hardness and Durability

   • The blue sponge is typically harder than the orange sponge found in other Hurricane 3 variants. This added hardness makes it perfect for elite players who can take full advantage of the rubber’s potential through powerful strokes and precise spin control.
   • Despite its hardness, the rubber provides excellent dwell time, which allows the ball to sink into the sponge, enabling greater control and a more dynamic spin on each shot. It is also highly durable, maintaining its tackiness and performance over time, even under heavy use.

4. Designed for Professional-Level Play

   • The Hurricane 3 National (Blue Sponge) is engineered for players who demand the highest level of precision and power in their game. It performs exceptionally well in high-intensity rallies, offering consistent feedback, precise control, and explosive power on offensive shots like loops and drives.
   • It excels in looping close to the table and mid-distance, offering superior spin and trajectory control. Its low throw angle gives it a flatter ball trajectory, perfect for players who like to play fast-paced offensive games.

5. Custom National Version

   • This rubber is the "National" version, meaning it is tailored for top-tier players, with enhanced quality control and better materials compared to commercial or provincial versions. The National version is often custom-made for the Chinese national team, known for its exceptional consistency and performance in the most demanding situations.

Ideal For:

• Offensive loopers who rely on heavy topspin and strong opening loops.
• Players who want maximum control and spin at close and mid-distance ranges.
• Elite competitors looking for a rubber that delivers both power and precision in fast rallies.

The Hurricane 3 National (Blue Sponge) is perfect for players who demand the best in performance, combining intense spin, speed, and control with the durability and craftsmanship expected from a professional-level rubber.
