Hurricane 3 vs Hurricane 3 National
National is a factory-selected Hurricane 3, usually orange sponge, sold at a much higher European street price. The recipe is still sticky Chinese inverted — not a tensor.
Combined figures show National faster and a step up in spin. Out of the pack both are slow by German-tensor standards; the National gap widens after booster, which is how this sheet is used in Europe.
Commercial H3 is the sheet to learn brushing on. National is the selected sheet you pay for once the boosting routine is already a habit. Provincial versions sit between and are not always in EU shops.

Verdict
Same family, different selection. Buy commercial to learn. Buy National only if you already boost and know you want that sponge.
