Good evening TableTennisDaily community ,
I bought myself a DHS Hurricane 3 National Blue Sponge rubber with 2.2mm and 40° on ebay (yeah, I know, probably my first mistake ).
Anyways, I'm kind of suspicious of the authenticity of the rubber. Don't get me wrong, I already know that there are many fake rubbers out there but with the recent increase of sold ''national blue sponge rubbers'' I thought, why not
So I bought the National Version with the White Package and I was wondering if one of you knowledgeable guys could tell me, if the one I have may be ''legit'' of not. What has me thinking are two things:
1. The sponge smells And I really mean smell lol. It kind of smells like a fresh tire for a bicycle, if I may say so Jokes aside: If I leave the rubber out for a couple of minutes, the whole room smells
2. The printing on the sponge is backwards. The rubber print faces normally and the print on the sponge is upside-down
I'm not sure if this means anything or not, but for your help I'd be thankful.
Kind regards
Fabian
