DHS Hurricane 3 National genuine???

If what you get is exactly the same as photo shown then it is 100% fake which worth less than $10. That Ma Long signature stamp tells it all.

I can read chinese, is that really Ma Long stamp? On top it clearly says "supplied specially to CNT"

You can check the photos of the following taobao website. This is the most famous fake of all. 40 Chinse Yuan each. About USD7.

There are also loads of other fake rubbers and blades so you can have an idea what needs special attention. I see the new addition of T80. Same price for all. Big money for fake sellers who charge genuine price in oversea market.

After looking at the above taobaosite, I would most definitely concur with you that it's a fake. I wonder if the "errateam" web shop even realises this...it's pretty tricky, especially if you don't know any chinese and have nothing to compare to. Good find TurboZ!

LOL THAT STAMPING ON THE SPONGE.
These people arent even trying lmao.
A real one will have the normal stampings thats the same on a commercial version, with some different details:
A line of code on the bottom of the sponge
Another line of code above that line thats not on the commercial version
Hardness AND thickness on the top, with a chinese character of "Nation" on it
Has it's top corners cut off.

The codes are all machine stamped with proper ink. Not that hand stamp you saw on that pic.
Also it wont say "Supplied to the national team"
Also there wont be a signature on it.

I can take a photo of a already cut piece of it if any of you wants it.
Also, the easiest way of telling a real one from a good fake is the tiny DHS engraving on the 2 lines below the ITTF serial and the name. They should be pitch perfect if theyre real. Kind of messed up/even smaller/big/floating engrave all means the rubber is fake.
