You should be aware that not everything sold by prott.vip is genuine (this is a general known fact my collector friends close to CNT have confirmed with me)
The code verification is advertised very hard by fake sellers because the code itself is easy to fake. The codes are not linked to any product so you can just swap it from a cheap DHS product. Not only that but you can also buy the stickers in bulk on Chinese black market.
I would buy it from official dhs warehouses on tmall. Any Chinese citizen can do it for you. Cheaper than anything you can find on English sites as well.
Prott is always safe. His clothings are replica (which i still mostly buy), but his DHS products are legit and many forum members have bought 968 blades from him with little to no problems. Don’t worry about getting any fakes from him. And get the provincial version, it’s not worth spending 500 usd for a national Q if the provincial Q for basically half the price is pretty much the same thing according to some chinese friends I’ve talked to
Only on this forum do people think that. The sentiment is much different on Chinese forums and among Chinese collectors.
I don’t trust the so called “Wang Chuqin personal H3” and other players equipment, but the commercial DHS equipment from the Star H3 all the way down to commercial H3 is legit and verified by myself and many others, including some chinese friends of mine
It is difficult question to answer, I have both with different rubbers.
May I ask you a question? With sticker you refer to the white label on the box that displays the batch, the weight and so on?
I think you mix 2 things, The information provided on the box/additiona white sheet (in the case of prov and commercial versions) is different from the validation code. Validation code is placed on the wrapping foil which covers the blade (not the box) and hidden under a layer that must be scratched off. Once scratched off, you see that someone did something with this blade. Then if it is brand new, and you scratch the layer to see the code and provide the information on DHS site, you also see the information (you can use translation) whether this is genuine product and also you get the information if it this code was checked for the first time or subsequent.
I don't have a prov version but a commercial and a national - the difference is there for sure in terms of quality and balance and also the blade feel. The national feels slightly softer and more controlled but more powerful when engaged. I am not sure it is worth the premium but as with most things the returns are diminishing as you pay more.
Thank you for your explanation. I am thinking of getting the Q968.
