I have had Dawei 388D-1 OX and I have verified that some come with a color matte color and others color glossy.

This is normal?

what differences are there between the two?

You might want to post a few photos illustrating this. I've applied several sheets of D-1 (for others, I don't use long pips myself) and I can't say I've noticed. In any case, I'll bet it varies from batch to batch, perhaps even from day to day - it might have something to do with the way the sheets were pulled out of the molds, by how long they were left in the molds to cool after they cured, perhaps by miniscule differences in stuff they mixed in with the raw rubber, or maybe it's the molds themselves - maybe some are smooth, some aren't... (no idea how they actually make the molds). In any case.. I doubt it's intentional.

As for differences in playing properties - perhaps you are in the best position to tell the rest of us, since you seem to have a few sheets of both types....?

I attach the pictures.

Glossy: more thin, more dangerous (I think), very difficult for glue

Is it normal? Yes and no. Chinese rubbers have notorious quality control. It does not surprise me. BTW I use saviga V long pips, lots of variations in color of matte red (I use red or blue or green-not black LP)

I use 388d black ox, they start off glossy when new and end up more matte as they age,never had any variation in the way they play

Yes, it would be a risky venture for you to enter in Olympics with the glossy stuff. Be sure you will not. ⚠

Is fake ?

Ignore Igor. He's fake.
