Thats a lot of rubbers

Boost a bit less the 37.5. if you boost it too much, it will become marshmallow.

That's not a hard task, this is how my H3 looks after peeling off :

Hate to break it to you, but that's not Hurricane 3.

It had a DHS confirmed code on it and it's from a popular aliexpress seller. If it's a fake I would be pissed because then there is no way to tell them apart, packaging and sheet all looked fine. I've never had two H3 sheets which are the same, no matter where it is from, that's a big part why I want to switch to the R9. Mind you, this one is 7 months old now, has a few hundred hours in it and 7 layers of booster (2 layer initial boost, 3 reboost at least a month apart each). This is the first time it's curled up so much, I think it's reasonable after all the abuse.

What was the thing that makes you suspect its authenticity?

The proportion of the negative space around the bottom horizontal line is all wrong. The only one I've ever seen with proportions closer to that is Nittaku Pro, but that has a different LARC number.

None of mine from the Shanghai factories or any of the OEMs have ever been like that, they've all been identical with a small gap on the bottom and a larger gap on the top. The ITTF logo's right prong also ends at the wrong height relative to the horizontal line, but it's hard to tell from the distortion.

Do those sheets always look like that or is that a one-off?

I've compared it to my other H3s I still have. The topsheet material is defintely different, more matte, less tacky, more elastic, which I was aware, I thought it's just a new recipe/usual quality control issue. The bottom line is indeed quite far up, but my older one got cut slightly rotated, so I thought they are just not that precise. The ITTF logo is perfectly matching, however the TTA logo is different.
I bought it as a provincial from the same seller (Global Sports Store from aliexpress) and for the same price I've got my previous one. This was a one off by the look of it.
It has a similar feeling to my previous (probably original) H3, but barely tacky and more bouncy. I definitely didn't like it as much as my previous which got damaged, but the one before that played even worse than this one and it looked identical to the good sheet.
I don't know what to do if the counterfeit check is broken...
It would be so good if Rxton 9 could solve this headache inducing issue...I just have to wait 2-3 another weeks for this to get answered.

They make millions of H3 sheets a year, so I guess it's not impossible that some of the OEM ones are really different. Is this non-NEO?

@Andrea Jiang Is this rubber still in the roster? I do not see on your website.

Hello sir,

How are you?
The blue package, we don't produce it anymore.

I think there are still some old versions on the market, but fewer and fewer.

I can't promise it is in the shelf time, our official distributor they sell grey version, so I suggest people buy the latest Grey Package.

Thank you.
