I'm looking for something equivalent to Stiga DNA Dragon grip. Something sticky but fast at the same time. Anyone tried Hurricane 9?

Dignics 09C? I must admit Rakza Z plays nicely...

Dignics is too expensive. I've tried Rakza Z and hated it. Too slow.

Went looking for Hurricane 9. Tabletennis11 didn't have it, so I looked on AliExpress. Hoo boy - look at the price!

It's one of these newfangled multicolored rubbers. Pink, blue, violet, green. NO red or black, though (weird!!! Do they intend this as a backhands-only rubber?). I can tell what it's NOT - it's NOT a ESN product (i.e. not a Tensor). So I wonder why you'd think it's fast.. Maybe it is, but I don't see any indication that it would be. My guess is that it's the new rubber they introduced for the reason of selling something that isn't red or black. If it weren't so expensive I'd try a sheet...

There's also a Hurricane 8 and Hurricane 8-80 - these are a great deal cheaper (but only come in red or black).

Currently have been using h9 pink on BH for about 4 months (10 hours a week). Best way I can describe it is a slightly slower, softer, lower throw H3 neo. which makes sense since the pink uses the same sponge as the H3 neo. I'd think the depending on the colour/sponge used would change the characteristics quite a bit, with all of them being slower, softer & lower throw then their H3/H8 counterparts.

A bit late but I hope this reply helps someone curious.
