Why does my DHS Hurricane 2 Neo smell like fish
Alois Rosario Answered 14 years ago
Hi Alessandro,
New rubber does have a strange smell to it. I guess it could smell like fish.

Choosing a Table Tennis Table
The thickness of a table tennis table is the most important aspect of a table to ensure you get a true consistent bounce. Other things to consider are the net, portability, and storage space.

I have read many forums where people complain about DHS rubbers having a fishy smell. There are many remedies for this, however. One trick is to leave your bat out try air out instead of covering it during storage. I have also heard of people wrapping their racket in dryer sheets or leaving it out near baking soda to absorb the smell.

I have a new unused sheet of Hurricane 3 and it does smell funny.
Maybe the glue used to attach the topsheet to the sponge and/or the sponge is made from fish parts. I know there's such a thing as fish glue.
