Yes, because there are cracks in the rubber as well. It has been used less than a month, by a 10yr old, 4-5 times in total. I was just curious if it happened to someone else. I have 4 H3 Neo rubbers in total, and this is the only one with this issue.
A couple of my H3 neo looks beat up like that, as though it is scratched. I honestly do not notice any performance issue. The key for me is, is the surface still tacky tacky? If so, I will keep on using it. If not, I just throw it away.

I have used BEO shop a couple times. They seem to be good.

One thing to consider is, I highly doubt any place wants to counterfeit a $20 Hurricane rubber. Now, if we are talking about $70 or $80 Tenergy or Dignics, yes, I am sure there are counterfeiters out there. But $20 rubber? Not sure about that.

Well the BEO store said that they only sell "official rubbers".

I have replaced the rubber as I think it either had a manufacturing defect or it was not stored properly or it is fake. I couldn't check the serial number as I didn't save the packaging. I can only say that none of the other 6 hurricane 3 rubbers has this issue.

Why I replaced it is because the rubber has lost 80-90% of the bounce, compared to a new rubber. If it was just the looks, I wouldn't have bother changing it, however it became basically dead.
