In my experience, Double Fish 3* balls seem to be more durable. I prefer them over my DHS 3* balls.

When I drink more than 4.....I usually see double fish. DHS makes durable balls.

We've used both of them in our tt-club.
Once were DHS *** balls better, but we've bad experience with them. After even only 2 matches (best of three) with new balls, you'll see the big difference. They're getting sleek, and crack easily.  Now we're using double fish *** balls and happy with them. They've far better quality/durabilty.  |

the thing with the DF*** balls is that they are a tad lighter possibly softer

I prefer DHS 3 stars to Double Fish 3 stars. One of my 3-star Double Fish has a wired weight. It feels strange on the contact like it was a poor quality ball. What I want to say is the overall quality of DHS is better.

From my experience, DHS feels better out of the box but DF is more durable. I love DF 2 and 3 stars!

DF is too soft - you lose control on fast topspins, it favours those who just try to keep the ball, DHs is a lot better

Quality control on DHS balls is poor compared to DF. I have some good DHS balls that are very similar to nitaku, other I have seen are like a bad joke (not even close to round). DF balls tend to be on the lighter side and break more frequently and they are covered in dust out of the box. They both have good and bad points.

You never know if the DHS ball will be real, fake, good or bad. The Double Fish are always good. It's not worth the 1 in 10 chance you will get a superb DHS ball that is better than the Double Fish because 9 times out of ten you wont

I used to rate DHS 3 star balls higher than 3 star Double Fish. Not anymore.
I have a whole bunch of orange DHS 3 star balls & they don't last!!! 3 training sessions & they're toast. I must've got a bad lot. The white ones last a little longer.
Now I'm finding the Double Fish balls to be more durable. Edited by Snakefish - 10/14/2012 at 2:46pm |

Mine are from TTNPP so I doubt they r fake. Either way I have seen great balls from DHS and terrible ones. DF seems more consistent on quality and is still a good ball so I guess the choice is clear. |

I really think the durability depends on the batch not on the actual quality of the balls.
One of our clubs uses the double fish balls, and recently went through some bad ones where we needed 3 balls to complete a match!... might have just been a bad packet... hard to know but obviously they not always good. I've had similar experiences in the past with some DHS and other balls (although not quite as bad). Since the DF balls tend to be harder, when you do get a bad batch they crack really easy... with the softer ones it's not quite as bad. They're both good balls in general IMO. |

They definitely feel harder to me. Their 1* balls are quite decent too.

I prefer to play with DF although they don't last as long.
