On the butterfly website, it says that some foreign markets are producing imitation rubber. Has anyone experienced this problem? After lookin at some website stores located in asia, some butterfly are way cheaper, even at half price. What do you guys think about this?

I have heard about that as well. My friend bought a bunch of Srivers once for dirt cheap and found out they were the fake stuff. They don't feel the same and they don't last at all.

Atin used them and said it was no good as expected LOL. You can get a decent Chinese rubber for that price from a good company so why get a fake tenergy made in someones backyard

It sounds like it is pretty hard to tell them apart (real vs fake).  We could potentially be buying Fake T05 from this forum, right? 

What is there to do?????

there are some clear tell tale signs for what rubbers are fake. price is a big deal, and its usually a very obvious discrepancy. Some well known sellers will price tenergy less than what butterfly says (for example, Iruiru), but this doesn't mean its fake, its only like a 5-10$ difference. The other huge give away is something you can see in this fake Spin Art
There is a gap between the bottom of the rubber and the stamp on the rubber. Real butterfly rubbers have no gap, and the bottom of the stamp is the bottom of the rubber. You can see in pictures 2 and 4 there is about a 1-2mm gap. Finally, sponge color. You cna also see in this product that the color of the sponge is very off compared to the real thing.

If we assume that makeing Table tennis (rubber and sponge + packaging etc) is a technical process then not every one can make it, therefor it (fakes) must be made in a Legal Table tennis rubber manufacturing  company in China, and at some some will be caught out.
 I recently saw some Butterfly Tenergy Rubbers at a slightly lower price, so I emailed to ask if they were genuine, thier reply was yes, so my wife who is Chinese and from the same City asks them and they said not real only fakes lol

Anybody know what the white sticker with chinese on the back is all about?  It was on the Tenergy that I bought locally in China.  Do you think mine is fake?  It plays just like real Tenergy.
