No 40+ ball can pla exactly like celluloid. But if it comes closer it is good. But this sounds like ABS.

I'm pretty sure that A40+ ball is an ABS ball.

It's probably to replace the G40+ ball that butterfly manufactures.

The (G) in G40+ is for (G)arbage.

If it plays closer to Celluloid, it would be a win!! I hope so...

Problem is always size. Probably the most important reason 40+ balls play differently from celluloid is 0.5-1 mm larger diameter and 0.07 gram increase in weight. A new material won't overcome that. But some materials like cellulose acetate make things worse.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to trying these.

Ba'al, I think for those of us who play with tacky rubbers the material is quite important :)
It'd be a shame to kill the tacky. The tacky is so fun.

Are those the huician balls? (Or however you spell it). From what yinhe told me, they are seamed balls.

THE "THUMB TEST" IS A DANGEROUS THING.

An essential observation with the ABS plastic balls, I recently happened to look up from YouTube.
    -- Testing the ball for hardness with a thumb will cause a permanent dent not to be entirely recovered. The ball tends to give a crack mostly on the spot you tested ...

Have you got the same experience?

Any ball indented with a thumb is useless afterward.

As a chopper, I prefer to "test" the ABS ball by my thumb and yes, I did make it roundless for my advance!
There is no real "pro", "prov" or "NT" H3 in the market.

Oh, this is so exciting. I can't wait to try these new balls. Are they going to have spherical shape or the geniuses at ITTF intend to further develop the game by introducing a new, more complicated ball shape, such as truncated icosahedron? If we have balls of different shapes, ping pong will be so much more fun. You will never ever know where it's gonna bounce

This.

Double Fish V40+ is a new choice for ITTF events.
This ball has a big inside seam and more spin, as reported by Russian vendors.

Argh! Just bought a 72 pack of the DHS D40+ balls (which I think are great) a few short months ago and now balls are coming out with new material. Good thing they didn't change the table!

No one actually knows when the new material balls are coming. There is 0 information about the Nexcel 40+ available out there except that it has been approved for tournament use. The 2018WTTC is using A40+ (which are ABS) and the World Cup is using V40+. I highly doubt we see the new ball before next summer.

The current ABS probably wasn't breaking fast enough for them.
