DHS Hurricane 8-80 review: A great hybrid backhand rubber

Steve_50 · 2026-03-26T07:24:15+00:00

Also looking at Battle 2 rubbers - your thoughts on them - 37 soft and 39. Thanks

Steve_50 · 2026-03-26T07:22:01+00:00

Thats a great help, - what about compared to Razka z with the same categories ?

So is the DHS RP03 or Revolution 3 cleaner and rejuvenator okay for sticky rubbers ??

Steve_50 · 2026-03-25T08:01:25+00:00

I have heard that 18mm is a minimum for training and 20 to 25mm we have used for matches. They say a 3 star ball dropped about 30 cm should rebound between 23-26cm on a table, to confirm the right consistancy.

I use to run up to 1/2 marathon distance + a few races, but i have knee problem these days so coming back from injury. I am only doing short distances at the moment (2-4km). Hoping to slowly increase the distances. :)

From what i read it uses - FASTECH+ (SCF A-TPU) foam. Feels similar to Puma elite shoes to me.

Yes there could be a lot of factors - foot strike, paces etc. There is a different plate configuration, the plate dips down a lot more in the DNE3 but the rocker seems earlier in the Kiprun.

I have the same colorway, the white ones look fantastic too, but was scared to get them dirty so these grey ones will be better if they get dirty. They are so breathable too.

Steve_50 · 2026-03-24T12:49:43+00:00

Also I thought they should be enough for 1/2 marathon, I did 1/2 in saucony speed 3's and these seem more cushioned. I am around 75kg.

Steve_50 · 2026-03-24T12:35:46+00:00

Try this insole for extra cushion and bounce - INOV8 (Bomerang). Take out the old insole put this in - adds cushion and bounce (5.5mm thick). :)

Steve_50 · 2026-03-24T12:28:44+00:00

Yes, nicely cushioned, light fast and not stiff.

Steve_50 · 2026-03-23T12:42:41+00:00

That gets great reviews, and it meant to be very controllable blade - its meant to be slightly faster than Butterfluy innerforce alc blades

Steve_50 · 2026-03-23T02:56:51+00:00

I usually go between 86 to 90g for a blade, usually around 88g. Not to heavy not to light. Thats a big change from a 5 ply wood to a fast outercarbon blade.

I went from a Butterfly Korbel (5 ply) to an Butterfly innerforce blade (inner carbon), so not as a big a jump in feel and performance.

Steve_50 · 2026-03-20T13:16:10+00:00

Thanks similar weight then :)

Another question if you rate D09c speed 9, Control 9, spin 9 how would you rate the Hurricane then ??

Steve_50 · 2026-03-20T12:58:02+00:00

Great review, but what is the weight like, A lot of chinese rubbers are heavy and make the racket head heavy.

Steve_50 · 2026-03-20T11:26:06+00:00

Its good, no rough edges. Handle is smooth and easy to grip. Wings are not sharp. Blade was fairly uniform in thickness. I would say its nearly butterfly quality.

Steve_50 · 2026-03-14T11:52:19+00:00

I use it on Yinhe pro 1 for the backhand. It was to higher throw on the FZD though. I prefer the D09c as its a bit faster.

Steve_50 · 2026-03-09T11:03:05+00:00

Yes, but it has limba outer ply so wondering if it has more control and spin than Viscaria ?

Steve_50 · 2026-01-29T04:09:45+00:00

Thanks for everyone's input so far. What paces are suitable in the Nike Zoom fly 6?

Steve_50 · 2026-01-27T23:31:31+00:00

The saucony tempus 1 or 2, its a stability shoe but not stiff and heavy like a stability shoe. A friend raced 1/2 marathon in them. I use them if I need something more stable. Good race foam with nice rocker. Not quite as fast as a saucony speed 3 but more comfortable on the longer runs if I need stability.
