James Livesey, you don't need to apologize or explain yourself, you didn't say anything offensive at all. I very much hope that guy was just joking.

I think Youngsik is DHS sponsored player so he could talk with DHS company about Woojin.

 

[Bensmithbortey]

Sorry but no the Korean players are not sponsored by DHS. They use a china contact to get their stuff.

Standing up for England TT equipment

..........James, so what TT equipment is made in England or UK... .......
...............

For most of TT history English made and designed equipment dominated. Remember, Leyland rubber, Barna bats etc.
For rubbers, the dominant player was the English company, Dunlop. They owned the rubber plantations, rubber (tyre) factories and were the makers of the rubber topsheet and sponges for several TT brands. I don't know what happens these days as 'rubbers' are now largely synthetic.
I suspect that they still supply the basic topsheet and sponge raw material to several TT manufacturers.
I got this several years ago from a knowledgeable poster on About.com.
However, is Dunlop still an English owned company? The owners today are probably Asian.

They might be using the Nittaku version of DHS rubbers. You know, the ones with DHS topsheet and japanese sponge.

The Nittaku Version also exists with the DHS sponge, just different packaging and quality control. I don’t know about a Blue sponge version though

Does anyone know what rubber uses JWJ on the backhand side?
Surely it is a xiom rubber, I would be curious to know which one.

Nittaku version of DHS is good however I don't believe they make a "PRO" level version with blue sponge
