@harty, I noticed that a lot of stock in the shop is not available, I was almost afraid that you're just letting the stuff sell out and ending. Your shop is pretty unique. (It's not that I need some rubber now - actually I have rel. new rubbers, and intend to experiment a bit to find H3 BS prov substitute.) But I hope everything is OK, and it would be interesting to hear about when new stock comes, or what are the plans, if it is not secret...

You're right, DHS is practically sold out. 21.7.2023 is the expected arrival of the ship with DHS equipment in Hamburg. Stocking should be by August 4, 2023. It was all due to COVID-19, insanely long delivery times of 8 months. In August, there will be something to sell again.

TensorBH... it is because you do not know the secret handshake.... and even if you got those magical other versions, Carl would have to save your azz from the Goon Squad pursuing you.

Oh I notice they have this listed at 41-43: https://www.tabletennis11.com/other_eng/dhs-hurricane-3-hard

That sounds interesting, but its annoying that you don't know the exact hardness. So it might be 41 or it might be 43? seems silly.

What is the range on the other one?

Why not to order from Aliexpress and get exactly hardness you need?

Yeah I could, but the prices for H3 seem to have gone up on Aliexpress the past couple years. With the 30% discount, TT11 is actually a bit cheaper.

Even after 30% off it same price as on Ali. On TT11 it cost $27. After 30% off it will be $20. Does price for H3neo on Ali

It all does not really matter.
Whether you order soft/medium/hard or the numbers from 37 to 41 the real fact is,
it is still like the proverbial box of chocolates "You never know what you will get".

Just skimmed through their list:
National Blue Sponge Neo and non-Neo: 39, 40, 41
National Orange Sponge Neo: 37, 39, 40
Provincial Blue Sponge: 39, 40, 41
Provincial Orange Sponge: 37, 38, 39, 40, 41
Commercial: Neo 37°, unspecified/medium should be 39°, hard

Much better than the shops in Germany which only sell 39° blue sponge but at the same time offer 38° H3 (non-Neo)...

Well. That's an old stock then, or they might be lazy updating their rubber info. The last years I have only got specific hardness in degrees.

Cool website. I did not know doublehappinessusa exists! Then I see Fan Zhendong forehand rubber and Ma Long forehand rubber on sales for $119.95. Lol, the world is ending. How do us mere mortals use their FH rubbers? I don't have the strength to do that!

Agree. I highly doubt DHS quality control has gotten that much better over the past two years....

 

[mocker88]

so what hardness is this rubber for real?

What rubber do you mean?

 

[TensorBackhand]

I emailed TT11 to ask and got this reply:

"Right now only 41 degree rubbers are available.
The rubber can come from DHS in a range from 41 to 43 degrees."

So it sounds like each rubber is specifically labeled. And also that 42 and 43 were once available, but have become sold out now?

Agree. Thank you for finding out. I think they have 39 degree in stock. TT11 have been out of stock on DHS Skyline Neo 3 black (2.2mm) max sponge for a while!
