I have worked with Kokutaku to develop special version of 868 rubber with power green sponge (medium hard). From testing with pro. player here. Performance / price ratio seem to be quite attractive. Also , this rubber is freshly made so should have less problem on weak glue between rubber and sponge as well.

Short VDO  (Forehand rubber)

How does the sponge hardness compare to Hurricane 3 Neo and is the rubber factory tuned?

This rubber is a bit softer than H3 NEO. This is not the tuned version but it also work quite well if tune.

I've tried it both original and boost by falco booster .  For me compare to the same price rubber this one is much better. I still don't have any problem with the glue between the sponge and rubber....and most of all when I remove it from my blade to try on the other blade it didn't shrink at all and very easy to remove glue from its sponge. 

The rubber came with mini pore green sponge. The rubber surface is a bit stickier than most of Jap rubbers but less than most of Chinese rubbers. The hardness said on the rubber's cover is 36 degrees but for me it's more like 47 degrees in Europe rubber scale. Speed is fast enough to finish the point but the most I like about this rubber is when I try forehand topspin stroke my friend told me it's like the ball curve slowly at first then kicked faster after it hit the table. The original one is okay but I like the boosted one more. The boosted one is a bit softer and faster so it's easier to dig the ball into the sponge. 

Btw I can't compare it to the other Chinese rubbers because I usually play with European rubber which is much more expensive than this one. But I still recommend this for the one who's looking for Japanese rubber alternative.

If tuned, do not put on the fast blade unless you are pro player. One of the provincial player here put the tuned version on Butterfly Sardius and still have some difficulty to control the ball even it is softer.
