Table Tennis Rubbers - The Elusive Dhs Hurricane National and Provincial Versions

How to

There is no doubt that the Dhs hurricane Ii and Iii rubbers are one of the most beloved in the world, partially because it's so ordinarily used in China. No doubt the marketing and sponsoring by Dhs has a lot to do with this, but the fact the many of the top Chinese players use this rubber does indicate that they have some very good properties.

It is well known that the top Chinese players may not be using the same version as the market version that's available to the public. Dhs has special versions of the hurricane rubbers for their Provincial and National team players. Either these rubbers are precisely man-made differently, or Either they are hand-picked as the best ones from the production of the proper version is unknown. Any way according to Dhs they Are hand picked from the normal production run.

Table Tennis

The proper market versions have an orange parasite for both the red and black rubbers. It is well known that there is valuable distinction in parasite hardness in the middle of batch to batch, or inherent within each batch. This is due to distinct cuts of the parasite mass being used to make the private rubbers. parasite hardness varies within the parasite mass before the private sponges are cut off.

Dhs also yield a special market version with a blue sponge. This one is only made in black, because the red topsheet is too translucent, so a dark parasite would darken the red significantly, most likely beyond what's allowed under Ittf regulations. This blue parasite is known to be a puny softer and more flexible, and also reacts good with speed glue. This version is not as ordinarily available as it's not part of their normal production runs.

Among Dhs fans there is all the time talk about the national and provincial version. according to those that have tried the 'real thing', the sheets apPear of good quality, are more flexible and have a softer sponge. There are special markings on the parasite indicating that these are special version, but the markings don't all the time seem the same. They also do not come in the proper packaging, which makes sense as these rubbers are not commercially sold, so fancy containers is not required. Any way there are also a lot of fakes sheet colse to which try to mimic the characteristics and markings on the rubber.

Dhs used to sell their topsheets separately. This made it easy for the less reputable companies to add their own cheap parasite and markings, and sell it for a lot more than the market version. After this had been going on for several years, Dhs recently decided to stop selling the topsheets separately, in order to cut down on the whole of fake sheet around. There are Any way still a lot of fake sheets around.

According to Dhs, the provincial and national versions of the hurricane rubbers are not sold to the public at all. They are only Given to the national and provincial teams for their personal use. Of course there is all the time a big temptation for these players to make a quick buck, and sell these rubbers to other players and retailers, so this is how these rubbers find their way to the public.

According to Dhs most of the provincial and national rubbers out there for sale are precisely fakes. In the last year or so more and more of these rubbers are sold by some online retailers and even on Ebay, all of course claiming them to be genuine. according to Dhs these rubbers were not supplied to them by Dhs, and the whole of provincial and national version are quite limited, so chances are that these rubbers are not genuine. As some of these sellers are known to be quite reputable, and sell many other genuine items, it is most likely that they themselves believe the rubbers are genuine. Either they are genuine or not, we cannot be sure.

There are ways of making the market versions a lot more like the provincial/national versions;

One way is to speed glue them... With enough layers to precisely soften them up. After this has been done a whole of times, the sheet become more flexible and the parasite softer permanently... making it play a lot closer to the provincial/national version.

Another way is to use the so-called 'super priming' formula which is a treatment of many layers of Voc based glue, which precisely has a permanent supervene and works very well. It works best on the blue parasite version, but still works very well on the orange sponged version too. This is precisely a much cheaper way of getting a hurricane rubber softer and more flexible, and a lot more like the provincial/national version... And best of all you don't have to worry about Either is genuine or not!

So is it worth paying the extra money to get a provincial or national version, without being 100% sure that it's genuine? You be the judge...

Table Tennis Blades and Rubbers - summary of Butterfly Brand

How to

This record is a summary of the most celebrated / special rubbers and blades from the Butterfly brand. This is not meant to promote or criticize the brand or products in any way, it's plainly a summary of opinions on the more celebrated and highly regarded products of the brand.

Butterfly is one of the most celebrated and largest table tennis tool manufacturers in the world. Established in 1950 in Japan, They have developed into one of the shop leaders, with high ability products, although with higher price-tags to match. They have many factories producing their products, together with any rubber factories Japan, Germany and China, and blade factories in Japan, Hungary and China.

Table Tennis

One of the reasons the Butterfly is so well known is marketing and information...there are few others who put in the same exertion and have the same budget. All the information is of great advantage to users, and is a credit to the company. Although a lot of the products are very good, some or no better than those made by some other manufacturer, often made in the same factory, but it's the marketing and promotion that turns habitancy to Butterfly. Most habitancy can find a convenient blade and rubbers from any of the major manufacturers, but it's often personal preference or brand loyalty that drives them to this brand. Of procedure this is the same for any of the other major brands.

How to Table Tennis Blades and Rubbers - summary of Butterfly Brand

After talking to many people, and getting lots of great feedback from habitancy on the online table tennis forums, I've summarised the most popular Butterfly rubbers and blades below. Although the popularity can be biassed by marketing and availability, there are some that many agree on to be great products, so there must be something to it...

Butterfly Rubbers:

Sriver - probably the most celebrated of all rubbers, that has stood the test of time and is still ordinarily used in modern days, even after any decades since it was released. This rubber is convenient for all levels, where thinner sponges are ordinarily used for more control at the lower levels and they rubbers are speed glued at higher level for extra performance.

Other Sriver variants (Sriver El, Fx, G2, G2-Fx) construction on the great credit of sriver, any other variants have been developed over the years. The Fx and particularly the El have also enjoyed great success, the G2 and G2-Fx are more new and have not been quite as popular, partially due to the wide range of similar rubbers now on the market.

Bryce series - Bryce and Bryce Fx are without a doubt two of the most popular choices for nasty players at higher levels, especially where speed glue is used. Many (but not all) agree that this rubber needs to be speed glue to in effect make it come alive, so with the upcoming ban, it may lose some of it's popularity. The Bryce Speed, Bryce Speed Fx are an exertion to modify the rubber to make it more usable without speed glue, but opinions on this are mixed.

The new Tenergy 05 has been creating a bit of stir lately as the most recent glue-free nasty rubber, but it's a itsybitsy too early to tell how flourishing it will be. Other nasty rubbers worth noting are the Tackifire C, Cermet and Catapult which have been flourishing for some people, but don't stand out as much as the ones above. The Raystorm is one of the more popular short pimple rubber.

For the more all-round or defensive styles, there are the Tackiness C and D, which were very popular for many years and still used by some habitancy today. The Feint Long Ii and Iii are their more popular long pimples, but have not had a huge following. The Super Anti apPears to be one of the more highly regarded anti-spin rubbers out there, but with only a small percentage of players playing with these types of rubbers these days, we tend not to hear much about it. With the frictionless long pimple ban now in place, this rubber may well make a comeback.

Butterfly Blades:

The Butterfly blades are ordinarily regarded as high ability blades. They have factories in any distinct countries, but those made in Japan clearly stand out as top ability blades.

The Primorac, Primorac carbon, Petr Korbel, Gergely, Sardius, Andrejz Grubba and Mazunov have been nearby for many years and have been the most flourishing blades.

In new years, more research and technology has produced high-tech blades wich apPear to have overtaken some of the earlier carbon blades in popularity. The Michael Maze and Timo Boll Spirit are high ability blades and have become very popular, and are used by some of the current top players in the world. The Schlager carbon seems to have a following, but it's likely to be too fast to control for most people, although the sheer speed is often an attraction. The Kong Linghui special is also highly regarded with a good following.

The Cypress-S seems to be the most popular J-pen blades, partially due to poor availability (in western countries) to the other J-pen blades.

The Matsushita Pro and the Joo Se Hyuk apPear to be the most popular more defensive blades, and appear to be growing in popularity.

Final words:

It is likely that a player of any level and style can find something acceptable from the Butterfly brand, although this is the case for many of the other major brands too. Hopefully this summary will be beneficial for fans or those that only have this brand available to pick from. They also have a range of other table tennis related items, in fact they pretty much sell everything related to table tennis, but blades and rubbers are the extent of this article.
