DHS Hurricane 3 Neo Liang Jingkun Backhand (Red)

The DHS Hurricane 3 Neo Liang Jingkun Backhand (Red) is a specialized version of the Hurricane 3 Neo rubber, developed and customized for the backhand side (BH) of Chinese professional player Liang Jingkun.

While the Hurricane series is traditionally known for its high hardness, the BH version is significantly softer to accommodate the backhand technique, which generally requires more elasticity, control, and faster reaction time.

Official Specifications and Features:

• Sponge Hardness: $38$ degrees (DHS Chinese scale). This hardness is considered medium-soft in the Hurricane context. This makes the rubber much more forgiving and better suited for active looping, counter-attacking, and blocking with the backhand.

• Sponge Color: Orange. The orange sponge, when paired with a softer hardness, emphasizes elasticity and facilitates easier spin generation, which is crucial for the backhand loop.

• Rubber Type: Inverted, featuring the classic tacky topsheet.

• Sponge Thickness: $2.1$ mm.

This rubber is an ideal choice for players who want to maintain the characteristic Chinese spin power and control on their backhand but require a softer feel and easier handling than the forehand (FH) version. The softer hardness allows the player to compress the sponge more easily, even with a lower stroke speed.
