The DHS Hurricane 3 rubber is a highly popular and well-regarded table tennis rubber that has gained a strong following among players of all skill levels.
DHS Hurricane 3 39° (Medium) – Traditional Sticky Rubber for All-round Spin
Are you looking for a table tennis rubber that offers legendary Chinese tackiness combined with a medium-hard sponge for a balanced attack and high safety? DHS Hurricane 3 in 39° hardness is the optimal choice for both technical and power attackers who want to have full control over spin.
This classic, un-tuned version of the rubber provides a linear and predictable power transfer – ball speed depends entirely on the power of your swing. The medium hardness of the sponge (39°) ensures great feedback, stable playing characteristics, and allows you to create dangerous offensive topspins with heavy spin and a safe arc over the net.

Traditional Chinese Concept and Medium Sponge for Optimal Control
The characteristics of the DHS Hurricane 3 39° rubber benefit from the combination of an extremely sticky top sheet and a classic medium-hard sponge. The absence of factory tuning guarantees that the rubber reacts precisely according to your stroke technique. The ball stays on the rubber long enough during contact, giving you full power over the flight trajectory and allowing you to generate heavy spin even from challenging positions behind the table.
The 39° hardness sponge significantly assists in serve return, precise short play over the net, and passive blocking, where it reliably absorbs the energy of the opponent's shots. When transitioning into an active topspin with a full swing, the rubber releases high energy and ensures a dangerous rotational bounce with sufficient depth to the opponent's baseline.
Who is DHS Hurricane 3 39° suitable for?
This table tennis rubber is built for advanced and technical players who prefer an offensive style based on spin, variability, and high safety. If your dominant weapon is a forehand topspin executed with a full swing, but you also require high ball control in passive situations, this medium hardness will help make your game more effective.
Due to its specific Chinese characteristics, the rubber requires active body movement and correct stroke technique. However, your reward will be absolute control over spin and the ability to dictate the pace of the game in every rally.
Comparison with Hurricane 2
While the classic Hurricane 2 rubber offers a slightly harder feel upon impact, a lower flight trajectory, and is designed more for direct pressure play, Hurricane 3 in 39° hardness offers a higher, safer flight arc and is significantly more forgiving of minor technical errors.
If you want to outplay your opponent with variable topspin, greater safety over the net, and rely on longer rallies full of spin, the Hurricane 3 version in 39° medium hardness is the optimal tactical choice for your forehand.
How to Care for the DHS Hurricane 3 39° Rubber
Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the rubber retains its tackiness and playing characteristics over a long period. After every training session or match, clean the rubber surface with a specialized cleaner for sticky Chinese rubbers or with clean water and a soft sponge.
Once the rubber has dried, always apply a protective rubber film to prevent air and dust from reaching the surface. This simple step will extend the lifespan of your rubber and ensure consistent and stable spin performance in every set.
