DHS rubbers are widely used in China and the very top players in the world use it on their forehand. You can see it in the videos and the way to spot it is by the blue sponge on the rubber. The most popular ones today are DHS Neo Hurricane 3 and DHS Neo TG3. A higher version called DHS Neo Hurricane 3 Provincial 6 Edges is also available.
One thing to note about DHS rubbers is that they are sticky and need constant cleaning to keep the surface clean and performing well. In addition to this, the technique used to play with DHS rubbers is quite different. you need to be able to make a full swing of the arm for looping and also catch the ball at it's peak.
For more details on price, availability, playing technique, and other questions, shoot an email to editor@tabletennisbug.com or SMS to 09822749251.

Timo Boll beats Zhang Jike, Ma Long helps his team reach Finals
It took Ma Long's power for China to advance to the finals of the Team event in the London Olympics because Timo Boll upset the newly crowned Olympic Champion, Zhang Jike. Ma Long beat both Ovtcharov and Bastian Steger. The Chinese doubles pair beat the Germans in between.
In the other semi final, Korea beat Hong Kong quite easily, although they faced resistance in a couple of the matches. Experienced Ryu Seung Min played the strong man in that encounter. So, it was the players who did not compete in the Singles event, who played the main role.
Men's Olympic Team event semi finals:
China bt Germany 3-1
Korea Rep bt Hong Kong 3-0
The finals will be played tomorrow. In the women's finals, China faces Japan, who beat the ultra strong Singapore team 3-0!
