About Hurricane 8
Hurricane 8 uses Chinese-style tacky build — high grip, often used with booster in Europe and a tacky topsheet that grips the ball for spin-heavy loops. Manufacturer sponge hardness is 42° (Chinese tacky); a cut sheet is about 50 g. Factory sponge thicknesses: 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, MAX. Sold with topsheet in Black and Red; sponge in orange/red. Hurricane (H3, H8, H3-50 and provincial/national versions) is DHS's sticky Chinese inverted, usually boosted for European speed-gluing rules.
On the TableTennisReview 0–100 index the Combined figures are speed 88, spin 94 and control 82 (official mapping 87 / 92 / 81). That is a mid-to-high speed inverted profile for offensive close-to-table and mid-distance topspin. Hardness, weight and thickness above are factory facts — not lab tests.
Community score 8.8 / 10 from 640 reviews. Indicative European street price €30. Compare Hurricane 8 with other DHS Hurricane and inverted rubbers on the same scale, or open the catalogue filters for OFF inverted sheets.

Factory thicknesses
Factory sponge thicknesses sold in Europe: 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, MAX. These are shopping facts — Combined speed / spin / control on this page do not change with thickness.
- 1.8
- 1.9
- 2.0
- 2.1
- MAX
- 1.8
- Thinner inverted sponge. Allround and first-upgrade backhands live here more often than attacking forehands.
- 1.9
- The usual club backhand thickness on inverted tensors. A bit more control, a bit less catapult than 2.1 / MAX.
- 2.0
- Mid-thick. Common on the backhand when MAX felt lively, or as a two-wing compromise.
- 2.1
- Still a thick attacking sponge. A small step down from MAX on some tensors — shops treat it as the other FH thickness, not a control sheet.
- MAX
- Thickest factory sponge. Most catapult on a tensor; the usual attacking forehand. Combined figures on this page are for the SKU, not a separate MAX score.
