OOAK Table Tennis Forum

I think most of us have heard about Tenergy rubbers being copied, and sold cheap(er) in China and some online stores.

What other rubbers have you seen that are copies of originals?

I wouldn't call them "copies". Just really bad facsimiles. The one I got was kinda like very fast anti.

By 'copied' do you mean fakes?
Or clones marketed as such? I only know the 'Moon' I use is supposed to be Yinhe's version of T64 but I've never used a Tenergy before so I can't confirm.

He's obviously talking about fakes.

Really???? Moon is the equivalent of T64???? Wow.. maybe I need to get a sheet.. What about Sun? T80?

Here's what it says

Non-tacky Galaxy rubbers compared:
- Galaxy Moon, High throw, offensive rubber, comparable with Butterfly Tenergy 05!
- Galaxy Sun, Lower throw, close to table attack, comparable with Butterfly Tenergy 25!
- Galaxy Mars V2, Lowest throw, offensive rubber, controlled version of Butterfly Tenergy 64!

They just cloned the pip structure and used their "Moxa" sponge and "Max Tense" whatever that means.

Where is "it"?

My source is the description part of the rubbers in ttdb. It's a 2nd hand source I know. It could be at the back of the packaging it came in. I don't know. But every review of it I've seen including this one viewtopic.php?f=44&t=14712
seem to compare it to the tenergies so it must have been marketed as such at the time of its release. Where originally I don't know.

Ah.... In other words (as with much of anything you read on ttdb, especially if it's unsubstantiated), take with a large cupful of baking soda. It just sounds so bizarre..

Pretty obviously different pips structure... You wonder how these stories get started, and then they get propagated because people will repeat them without thinking or checking it out. Before long you think it's gotta be true since you've come across it in a half dozen different places. Kinda like a certain person's late-night tweets...
