Hurricane 3 Provincial (Blue Sponge)
A provincial-grade tacky rubber with blue sponge — among the highest-spin options in the Hurricane series. DHS describes the blue sponge as "power and extreme speed & spin from its firmness," positioning it as the top forehand choice for national-team players.
About this product
The Guoguang blue specification of Hurricane 3 without the "Neo" prefix. It runs to four hardnesses — 39, 40, 41 and 42 — the hardest reach in the Guoguang family, and comes in a single thickness of 2.2mm.
"Neo" refers to how the sponge is treated. Neo versions have tension pre-applied to the sponge; this one does not, and is accordingly described as feeling stiff at first and loosening with use. DHS does not quantify that difference.
The availability of 42 degrees makes the intended user plain. Compressing 42 requires considerable swing speed, and without it the ball only skids across the topsheet.
Fixing thickness at a single 2.2mm points the same way. Offering no adjustment except hardness assumes a player who already knows their specification.
What the numbers say
Inverted, 39 / 40 / 41 / 42° sponge. Its elasticity of 3.7 ranks 4 of 7 rubbers, mid-range. It is on the tackier side. Based on the manufacturer’s published figures.

Where this rubber sits among DHS rubbers
Positions read from the rubber positioning chart DHS Korea publishes (7 rubbers). The original has no numbers, so only relative position is meaningful. Further right is tackier; higher means more elastic. Variants that differ only in sponge colour or grade are plotted by DHS as a single point, so they overlap.
