Thanks mate. I'll give it two hefty layers of Falco Long hoping that doing it once would be enough for several months

Try Omega V Asia.
I like putting heavy topspin on the ball...

I play h3neo unboosted (I think 39 deg), and my bro-in-law used h8 (mid-hard) for not quite 2 months.  
I've played a bit with the h8, and it's really similar in spin with high throw, but a little bit faster and bouncier.  That might be because the sponge hardness isn't identical, so I'm not sure.  But I can play with them interchangeably without any adjustment.  

On the other hand, using something like Evolution MX-S, it requires total re-adjustment simply because of the much lower throw.  

I'm curious of how Omega V Asia compares to MX-S and H3neo though.  What are the biggest differences NextLevel?  I don't know anyone around that plays with Omega V Asia so I can't 
personally try it.   Thanks.

Omega V Asia has better arc than MX-S so it makes some shots easier. It has worse passive blocks and that is a deal breaker for some. For me, definitely not.

I like playing H3neo on both wings, but while I like my FH perfectly as is,  my BH sometimes needs a bit more speed ( and I don't want to boost).   
It looks like Omega V Asia might be worth trying later on.    Hopefully it's not factory boosted and doesn't rapidly change over weeks of play like my co-worker's MX-P.    I like H3Neo also because of it's stability and consistency every session.   Thanks NextLevel!

"it's really similar in spin with high throw, but a little bit faster and bouncier."
u mean h8 is same spin ,higher throw ,bit faster ,bouncier than h3n?

is it right ?

i recall from h3n reviews that they said that it has higher throw than h8 and h8 has lower throw than h3n

can u confirm this to me onehander?

next level

about mx-s

i put 2 sheets on my tbs and i must say it is as most members reviewed and i think it is really a very developmental rubber

i don't like the rubber that do the job for me other wise i will continue with my bad foot work and no intention will be needed to fix it  as long as the"lazy" rubber do the job for me


really mx-s is a linear rubber the amount u put into it the amount u got out from it


then i put a sheet of mx-s on mj szlc and it  is wooooooooow

mx-s feels very different on this blade i must say the throw angle isnot low but it is medium high (same as mx-p on tbs)
 and the speed of mx-s on mj szlc is higher than mx-p on tbs  and block of mx-son mj szlc  is better than mx-p on tbs

really a very different rubber totally on this blade

i don't realize that balde makes a difference and matters alot untill i shift from tbs to mj szlc

however my current combo in an overall result is bouncier alot (mj szlc in short game is bouncy in itself  adding that both mx-s and h8 are unforgiving rubbers u can imagine what i'm talking about )

i think this combo is very developmental and benefit me alot in order to obligate myself to learn good footwork and right positioning and best contact time with the ball otherwise i will really punished with no mercy at all

I can only confirm my experience with the sample I tried on my bro-in-law's blade.  The throw is 
similarly high to H3neo.  Although faster, it is not significantly faster,  and not enough to make a difference on my backhand.   That is why I was wondering about the Omega V Asia since NextLevel offered that in reply to your request for H3neo experience.   The H8 sample I tried is not tacky.  I get spin more from grip with H8.   

My bro-in-law has far more experience with H8, since it was his paddle.  He switched to H3neo (which he got from his Coach) on Chinese New Year's eve when I helped glue it on his paddle during the dinner party. While gluing it, I noticed that it had 38 degree and a simplified Chinese character printed on the sponge.  I actually can't read Chinese and asked him what it said.  He said it says "province".  I told him his Coach sold him the good stuff.  
Since then, I find his shots are much more consistent at mid-distance, while the rest of his game is about the same.    He does not boost either.

H8 is tackier than h3 neo and has better control . because the top sheet is not so hard as h3neo and sponge is more elastic ... you can feel the more dwell time on it and this gives you great control advantage.

both, but that does not necessarily lend itself to being highly playable in today's game though unless you like the older brick-hard feel.

heavier than neo, but I don't think it's heavier than h8.  The weights of rubber from DHS tend to vary a lot though... I wouldn't be surprised if you find different sheets that weigh as little as h3 or as much as h8.

My H2 NEO 39° the lightest and the tackiest of all the Hurricanes I have, although playing a tacky surface doesn't help me at all with the poly ball

H8 is very easy to lift underspins due to tackiness.
