is it just me or the rubber really is very hard like that of a 40 degree neo skyline? i tried it yesterday and i found it spinnier but slower than Tin Arc.. it says 37 degrees but it feels hard on a TBS.. its good over the table loops though.

i agree on it being spinnier and slower than Tin Arc, but my 37 degree doesn't feel as hard as a 40 degree sponge...

The question is are they spinnier and faster than T05?

I am experimenting with TA3 on the FH. It is not very bouncy, but it has a very linear speed response, like most Chinese rubbers: the faster you hit, the faster it goes. It is quite spinny though. On big loops, it is as spinny as T05. On slow loops, it is slightly less spinny than T05.
However, for service return and blocking it feels a lot less sensitive to incoming spin than T05. TA3 also has a rather hard and stiff feel. Keep in mind that this is with a red sheet. I think I will order a black sheet to try next. It should be a touch softer and a touch spinnier at slow speeds. ILya

I have tried all of them and I'm currently using TA3 on my FH.. Control: TG3 Neo > TA3 > TA Spin: TG3 Neo > TA3 > TA Tackiness : TG3 Neo > TA3 > TA

how does the TA3 topsheet behave, does it feel "chinese" or more like a tensor / glue effect rubber?

TA3 has a very grippy and at the same time tacky topsheet. I was able to increase its tackiness after i put 2 layers of PO on its topsheet. Felt like a euro/jap before since the tack wears of easily if not wiped often but now with PO it behaves more like a chinese rubber.
Throw is higher with TA as compared to TA3.

Had a chance last night to try H3 Natl (or Prov? but definitely ng Neo) Tuned on my TBS. Throw is higher than TA3 so I kinda did not play well yesterday unlike when I'm using TA3. I'm not sure but it could be because of my angle and/or stroke that is already accustomed for TA3 TBS setup. I played with my friend twice using H3 and TA3 and he said my game with TA3 is way a lot deadlier with H3.
I'm definitely loving my TA3 now..

Is TA3 37 degree sponge good for back hand open loops ? Or is it slow enough to be killed ?

I believe TA3 is designed as a forehand rubber and is not really suitable for BH because of its hard top sheet, i.e. you should apply extra efforts to make attacking shots comparing to rubbers softer top sheets, which would be harder to execute due to limitation of the BH stroke mechanics. Note that I'm not saying it's not possible, it's just not really needed - at least, I don't see any advantage of using TA3 instead of, for example, Bluefire M2/M3 or Aurus [Normal/Soft/Sound] or 5Q or Shark II or Blitz or T05/T64.

That depends on how you play your BH, rather than on the rubber. I've used TA3 on both FH and BH and did not have any problems with looping through people. However, I am a BH dominant player, so I generally do not have a problem looping through people off the BH side (which is why most players start putting pressure on my FH instead). I did not like flipping wiht TA3 too much, hence I did not keep in on my BH. However, looping was not an issue. ILya

My coach recommended my set up for me and I have used it for a year. My 3-month old TA3 was good enough for her in coaching lessons. She used it on her backhand and she liked the 37-degree TA3 on the backhand. I suppose the use of softness/hardness varies for different individuals. I need a softer rubber on the backhand. For my coach, the medium TA3 is just right for her. (I know a 2200 player who uses hard hurricane 3 on his Primorac Carbon FH and another 2200 player uses soft Euro/Jap rubber on his Primorac Carbon FH. Go figure.) |

Interesting. I found TA has much better control than TG3Neo while TG3Neo has slightly better spin and slightly better speed. TA works better on a hard/stiff blade where TG3Neo works better on a med soft blade. TG3 Neo also lasts quite a bit longer than TA. |
