I bought 2 from therubberman.  They are very similar to H3 Provincial; however, it's softer and a little bit faster.  Over all, it's better than H3 Provincial all around.  Worth to try.

Speedy, what thickness and hardness did you try?

The commercial version does not have 38 degree hardness. I have played with commercial version 39 degree. It is pretty good for close to the table attacking game as well.

commercial vs provincial is like night and day

What's the difference between Provincial and Comercial?

Oh... you know me... I switch blades like crazy... just to have fun... will go back to T5000 a month before the tournament...

if you love the h3, the price is well worth it. I mean tenergy and other tensor rubbers run 45+ so why not pay about 40 dollars for a great rubber.

If I'm going to pay 40 dollars for a sheet of rubber, I might as well get one that WILL be the same every time. I love chinese rubber, and it doesn't honestly matter that much to me, but idealistically what i'm saying holds validity.   I'll stick to speedgluing the old H3 pro, and then worry about this when I play sanctioned. Especially if its 40 bucks.

The commercial version is ~$20. It is a reasonable price for the great rubber. I don't know what is the difference between provincial and comercial yet. But I am happy with the commercial version now.

One thing you can do is buy H3 Commercial on ebay (about $13 apiece). Buy three of them. One of them is bound to be good. And then tune the crap out of it.

$39 (a dollar cheaper than Provincial!) and equal if not better performance in a package that is "legal".

jk. sort of.

ttbruin wrote: first of all, the quality of the rubber is different. The provincial rubber is less tacky than the commercial and of a higher quality. On some of the shots with the commercial, you lose the feel of the shot which is essential when making the shots you want to. The provincial rubber also grips the ball better than the commercial. �

Looks like playing with it a few times pulled you to the provincial side eh ttbruin? Anton, ttbruin and I are local, and he was playing with H3NEO commercial this entire time. I had recently slapped on a H3 NEO Provincial (teams) which was the $40 I was referring to. The H3 NEO Provincial (commercialized) $35 I don't sell yet because I've always gotten my specialty products direct from the teams. But here's a picture difference for you all to show you what I mean between the two:
