Subject: Fake Provincial Hurricane 3 from TTNPP (updated!)
Date Posted: 08/21/2014 at 6:28am
Hi Guys, Earlier on when some guy from Germany Brought up the issue on Fake Provincial NEO Hurricane 3 rubbers sold on TTNPP, he is probably right. 2 weeks ago, I placed an order on the newly added provincial 38 degree Hurricane 3 #22 blue sponge 6 edges, believing that they don't sell fake products.But today, i received the rubber, however it was not like they described. The rubber had no.20 imprinted on the sponge. Now, for those of you who don't know, #20 sponge is for orange sponge and #22 is for blue sponge. DHS has clarified that they do not produce #20 for blue sponges, and if i got any, it would probably be fake. And on the packaging, they use ink to scribble cancel the degree hardness and used a marker to write 38 degree. Now, that's odd because the sponge clearly felt like a 40 degree one and doesn't have the distinct smell of a provincial hurricane rubber. Sponge texture felt like a counterfeit exactly like the ones i saw in china during my trip there years ago. For those of you who intend to get DHS rubbers from TTNPP, i advise you not to. The value for money is a trick.

I have seen the H-3 prov. #22 sponge and the H-3 nat. blue sponge on ttnpp, they look just like the one's on Ali-express site. And Ali-express shows a #20 blue sponge prov. H-3. Never ordered that so I can't say any thing about it.

I posted this on an other thread too how to identify the genuine products and why the one of ttnpp and aliexpress and all the other sellers are fake:
But heres my argumentation. Please read first, think and comment.
I try to make this very simple, this is a original H3N: http://shop.chinatt.com/goods-465.html
Then this one is a original H3NP: http://shop.chinatt.com/goods-466.html
-> You can see, the sponge have additional provincial sign for "provincial".
So now we make a blue sponge out of this rubbers: http://www.pingpongboard.com/images/awb_image1932554184321.jpg
Wooooooollaaaah!
Now compare the white label of my links to this label of YOUR link right here: http://gd1.alicdn.com/imgextra/i1/10729083/T2KOc6XAtXXXXXXXXX_!!10729083.jpg
Heres the original label or the provincial orange sponge: http://shop.chinatt.com/images/upload/image/201405/20140521141919_49800.jpg
Here the label of the original COMMERCIAL sheet: http://shop.chinatt.com/images/201212/18070232_01.jpg
my products look the same, with the blue sponge it looks different. Why should DHS do this? I have an answer, FAKE!
Please give me a good reason why DHS would do different writings of the white label, if they got the same with commercial and provincial AND national. So the blue sponges get all different stuff... It really doesnt make any sense... Im sorry but this is bullshit.
The other "label" DHS uses is the label of Degree and Thickness which isnt white. This one identifys genuine products too, but its not even that one neither. Im talking about this one:
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uNfcGS3MNxo/TrarWwWIHkI/AAAAAAAAAhs/fv0XP9LAKlA/s1600/P1030589.JPG
Now the REAL provincial I posted: http://www.pingpongboard.com/images/awb_image1932554184321.jpg
That matches too. The only product which doesnt match is the provinical blue sponge with the fake blue circle and white label.
Now, we compare it to National products: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.3.w1017-3638378733.53.yUrffb&id=38461374812&
Commercial H3 with the same sticker/label: http://shop.chinatt.com/goods-463.html
The only one which doesnt fit in is the H3NP blue sponge with the blue sticker. So tell me, what is wrong with my argumentation? If there is anything wrong, im the first person in the world who admit this, but I dont see any mistakes so please help me out here guys.
It is sooooo easy to see!
Best regards ;)

and about the link you posted the NON NEO rubbers, they are much harder to identify because of the different package (not vacuum), but the chance of getting REAL blue sponge rubbers is very low.

I have found TTNPP a very reliable vendor quick to respond to any issue and the rubbers sold have always been from the manufacture. The idea that TTNPP knowingly sells fake products has no basis in fact.
Given the endless chatter by players buying this product it might be best to consider buying only from authorized DHS dealers. This warning is on the DHS site:
Products are guaranteed to be genuine when purchased only from authorized DHS dealer. DHS will not accept any claims and will not provide any warranty service on the products purchased through non-authorized dealers.

Yes, you are right. I have emailed ttnpp. They told me they are going to check with their supplier and reply me in 2-3 days time. But either ways, i would expect a refund or this matter blows up all the way to paypal as their product does not fulfill their description of no.22 sponge at all since it has no.20 written behind.

It is possible for paypal help get my money back right?

TTnPP should be ashamed that they got caught by an DHS Hurricane rubber expert.

OP don't get me wrong here, as I have no idea what genuine provincial/national Hurricane is like. (In fact I really don't like them producing vastly different versions of the same rubber.) I'm just saying it might be hard for Paypal the accept you claim of replica product just because it smells weird, and with some scribbles on the package

The rubber doesn't match the description of the rubber as stated on their web. That falls under the dispute category on paypal. Hope it works.

Lets us what info ttnpp says there response seems positive so provided the best info you can to back up your claim. It's positive that they are concerned about this issue enough to contact there supplier and dig deeper into the fake issue of this product.

I just got my H3 Prov 38 deg sheets from TTNPP today (#20 sponge). However, they were not sealed - they came in a cardboard covering that wasn't covered in plastic and the sponge was open to the elements.
H3 afficionados: is this how this product is normally packaged? It doesn't mean that it is fake ofcourse (TTNPP has had a history of selling genuine H3 orange sponged products - at least from what I can read on the forum).

And there isn't any plastic wrapping at all? If that's the case, it's very weird.
For H3 (non neo), you should still have plastic wrapping, with adhesive opening. For H3 neo, you should have vacuum sealed wrapping

Yes indeed. Again, question for the H3 experts: assuming that the sheet is genuine, is it worth the fuss to complain / attempt to return to TTNPP or should it make practically no difference as (I'm assuming) this should hardly have any booster / oil on it?

Noo, your product looks very genuine. The stamp and inch looks fine to me, package too. I dont think its fake, no sign for it.

if those are real, they've got to be like 8+ yrs old lol. i remember #22 being used for CNT training before wang liqin dominated at #1 2006?
anyway, i hated pre-neo. even boosting, it was pretty dead. pre-neo is designed for speed glue really.

Your hurricane 3 is likely to be real. The first 4 numbers on the sponge indicates year and month of manufacture. In your case, in 2012 january. That time, the provincial h3 are still using the old packaging like yours.
In any case, i purchased real and genuine #22 sponge before. This piece of junk i received from ttnpp is nothing like the one i had. This ttnpp one doesn't even have its #sponge number printed correctly. According to ttnpp, all their 38 degree, blue sponge had #20 written behind which makes it more obvious it is fake. Even if it was stamped wrongly by accident, it would be likely that one piece had mistakes. Not the whole supply of 38 degree while 39,40,41 had no problem.

I just got mine from TTNPP and it went through the DHS online checking system as well (it stated that this serial number belongs to an Table Tennis item manufactured by DHS and this is the first time that number being queried).

The blue sponge is too artificial. If you bought a #22 sponge from a provincial player before, you will know. The printing, color, smell is too way off.

tazdevil, another easy way to spot a fake rubber is to look at the following engraving on the rubber:
1) the ttf logo 2) the small dhs logo along the horizontal line on both left and right hand side
May be you can post a close up on the above items?
The real blue sponge will not look that dull, it'll look very "fresh".

Sorry guys, tied up by something, but finally took some pics on the logos.
So if the serial numbers are faked, that would be considered high level fakes with extra work and expenses (assuming that they need to peel off from the commercial version and stick it on)?

If its the case that the rubber is fake but serial numbers matches, it means they fabricate/copy the actual serial numbers. Or in this case, i feel they merely bought h3 topsheets and add the fake esponges... In china, anything is possible.

If they peeled off the plastic film from a genuine H3 and applied it to a fake, the film would have wrinkles.
If they pulled the 'serial' # sticker off a genuine H3 and applied it to a fake, the sticker would have wrinkles and/or tears.
If you verify the 'serial' # on their website, the website will warn you IF the 'serial' # had been checked before so you can tell if you have a product with a duplicate 'serial' #. Otherwise, you get a message saying you have a genuine DHS product.
I would assume/hope the 'serial' # is not just a serial # but a number generated by some algorithm to guarantee that it's unique. If someone has reported a verified number but still gotten a fake, then DHS's algorithm to generate the numbers has been compromised. Have there been reports of that nature?

I have bought fake H3 from taobao before and seller did offer a checkable serial for an extra 10 RMB. It did check out alright on DHS website so they are compromised and not 100% reliable. But the fake serial sticker is easy to peel off while the real one can't.
Photo of tazdevil does look genuine. Fake is far from it. Wonder how it play. As these blue sponge H3 are low volume production for local use and not meant for export, their quality control is probably not as strict so difference between batches is not surprising. Many selling H3 without any package, serial or stamp on sponge but people still trust and buy with confidence so the situation is quite messy. As long as it looks genuine and code check out I would tell myself it is a good one and not worry about it.

Okay, here's an update of my case.I've shipped the rubber back to ttnpp and they have refunded me the cost of rubber! The only reason why they accept my reject was because the rubber doesn't tally with the description online as it was printed #20 instead of #22 sponge. Close shave for me as they wouldn't bother refunding me at all if there was no problem in printing.

China and other countries in Asia are full of "fakes." In fact, it's difficult to find real merchandise over there. Sometimes, the fake is actually better. Maybe whoever replicated H3 made the sponge softer and lighter! ;-).

Hi Symbole,
I used the DHS site, it is http://www.dhs-sports.com/portal/
Do you read Chinese? You should see a field at the left hand side for you to input the serial number, and the check digits. The results is in Chinese as well, but you can take a look at my post and if it looks the same, that basically means the serial number enter was manufactured by DHS and it has been queried only once.

you can't trust the serial number check all the time, as it has been mentioned earlier, the counterfeit seller can fabricate the serial number these days.
One easier way is to compare it to an authentic rubber (either a commercial one which you can buy the authentic one easily, or a real provincial/national one if you are lucky)
Below is a link I created before to show how to identify a fake TG3 national blue sponge, as I was lucky enough to get a hold of a real one.

Close shave for me as they wouldn't bother refunding me at all if there was no problem in printing. |
Found the following explanation from TTNPP about the label. Probably added after the dispute.
"* about 38' chop and lable :
since 38' is too soft for most of the pro-player , factory usually do not produce 38'. Only a small portion of the sponge will end up in 38' range. And they do not have a chop and lable ready for this hardness. Therefore for all 38', a chop of #20 sponge was used instead. And the labels on the back of the paper package were corrected from other hardness label manually to 38'"
I see many people claim a stamp or serial on one product is genuine so any deviation of that is fake. But people failed to see that DHS is not a company of strict standard as many have believed. Somehow they are the one to blame for the messy situation because of all the non-standard products they keep releasing to the market. Especially on those not meant for export ones.

Hi everybody, i am pretty sure, that my rubber Hurricane 3/National/blue sponge, is a fake. I bought it 4 years ago for 80$. I didn't have any experience how tacky this rubber should be, if it is said "tacky". Just now i know because i could compere it with a real rubber (somebody brought it from China). So you have to be careful to buy from ttnpp, although i bought Palio rubber (2 years ago) and it seems to be alright. Regards

That certainly used to be true, but in recent years DHS have been offering limited quantities of these to their official distributors, so it IS possible to get a genuine National H3.

I dunno Haggis. Zhang Jike didn't even want to give away his National sheet after his exhibition match with Hou Yingchao. If a triple crown winner is hanging on to his sheet like that, I don't see anyone else in the CNT wiling to give a real legit sheet away.

Zhang Jike probably held onto his sheet, because he knows that a sheet that he's used is worth a lot of money... those guys are very famous there!
I don't know about players in the CNT giving away real legit sheets, but I do know that DHS sells National version sheets to their official distributors in limited qualities... I know because we deal with them directly.

For those who say there are no real National H3 out there...are you saying that the entire DHS counterfeit checking system is "compromised" and they are able to produce serial numbers that will 'pass' as real when it is actually completely fake non-DHS rubber?
Or that the hologram and serial number is just for show, and if you did check it, it would come back as not valid?
Or that those National H3 (with hologram serial number) are actually provincial versions being passed off as National?
Or that the DHS National H3 that is sold via distributors is (really made by DHS) but is not the same hardness or quality as what the National Team gets so therefore it cannot be considered National version?
I've never bought National H3 before and 'probably' never will. In Taiwan the cost is about $50-60 and has the hologram/scratch off number. I have bought here for ~$30 provincial H3 and H3 neo...it always checked out on the DHS serial number website as real.

Fair enough. Could you show us a link where we can buy a legitimate H3 Neo National version?
