I tried to boost my h3, it doesn't do anything other than making the throw angle lower. There's no speed/spin/feel change at all as other people claim. Why is that? 

I use falco tempo long tried different layers on different rubber. My conclusion is, the more layers the lower the throw angle until it's all mushed up and useless. 

This beg's my question is falco tempo long a good booster for h3?

I would buy chop4ever's product instead. He designed it just for that; he is an authority on Hurricane rubbers and "rejuvenating" them :)

"I would buy chop4ever's product instead."

What product?

And yes I agree with OP, that using other boosting oils does not seem to make a big difference.
It does feel a tad faster, spin does not increase and the sponge feels softer. I just dont see much point to boosting H3, and in top of that the sheet might bubble. I have used Falco and Dianchi.

Currently using the Nittakku H3 Pro, and it feels very similar to DHS National Blu Sponge H3. I think I like it better.

3 layers of Falco should do a fine job. Are you applying properly? 

Obviously, you can use Kailin, Dianchi or Seamoon if you want a better effect. But you will need to reapply a lot more often.

I have been using Falco for a long time and I can only say positive things about it. It might not have a strong effect as Dianchi and Seamoon but it boosts the speed of the Hurricane 3 by a lot. ALso, boosting increases the arc not reduce it. I do not know how you boost your rubber but I have opposite effects as what you have been saying.

If boosting with Falco, would you recommend H3 neo or regular?

I use the regular H3 because it is cheaper and absorbs booster better.

I recently boost H3 with Falco, I feel it grep the ball a little better, a little faster and spinner, but not like the other people claim to have a big different.  However, once I boost the rubber, my winning rate does increase, and my opponent does see the different in terms of spin and speed.

how curled was your H3 during boosting and does it make a loud sound/crack with a power stroke?

I'd have to agree with Yogi. Boosting technique makes a big difference in effect. Also, many of the different blue sponges are much more falco compatible (stronger catapult effect, better control with more spin) than the orange sponges.

Most players I know who boost H3 or other Chinese rubbers use Haifu. From what everyone who boosts tell me  Falco is best for Tenergy/ESN  and Haifu is for H3. I tried boosting H3 with Falco once and my results were underwhelming  as well then again I mainly use T05H/D05 so maybe I'm expecting too much.
