Transparent Topsheet

 Hi Alois and/or Jeff,

On my current racket, I noticed that my racket (DHS A6002) has a Hurricane 3 rubber with a transparent top sheet, enough that the pips beneath the smooth surface can be seen. At first, I thought the racket is a fake, for the A6002 is commonly targeted for counterfeits, and the top sheet peels after short usage, a possible flaw/fake. However, this transparency has been unanswered so far in my research (~20 minutes), and I'm wondering why it is like this.

Any answers? Thanks,

P.S. There is a way to check if my racket is fake or not, though the program does not work on my computer.

Hi Jason,

Sometimes the top sheets are quite transparent.  It is probably OK.  For that level of bat it won’t make a lot of difference.

I don’t know how to check whether they are fake or not.  Others may be able to tell you.
