Is it really possible for players to get the PB's true taste in less than a month period ????????????    DHS seems to go a big flop in marketing the balls in time, Shame on DHS, and so is ITTF !!!!

And on your dear president.

Hard to find the ITTF approved 40+ plastic balls for sale.

I know some were handed out at the recent Japan Team Championship. I'm sure most of the Elite players have access to them. I suppose it's only fair that they should get access to them first, as they are the first ones that will need to use them.

DIdn't manage to find any other brand yet...

CRACKY DHS BALLS.
While being aware of poor DHS quality, ITTF does refuse to slacken the T3 requirements on the plastic balls.

REFERENCE DOCUMENT:
< ITTF BoD MinuteS
Tokyo, May2 2014.>

5) .....the Board approved the following reports:
5.1 Athletes’ Commission (document G1) and noted that:

   4 manufacturers had approved balls but had also requested some relaxation in the tolerances for weight, bounce and hardness in order to get better and more durable balls.

   An extension of until 1 Jan 2016 had been agreed with the manufacturers for the modified tolerances after which the current requirements of T3 would be implemented.

====================
Comments by IgorpongeR:

-- As seeing their ball poor quality, DHS has informally asked from ITTF for an approval of yet heavier and harder balls, and the request was rejected and suspended till 2016.

However, T3 weight and hardness allowance for the 40+ may be re-considered some later day, so that manufactures could produce a better durable ball..

Till than, the DHS balls to supply soon on general marketplace gonna to be rather CRACKY..    
We have now got a clear video footage of the ball's instability during china nationals training play. Not so good for a common consumer. Sorry.

Perhaps,   ITTF should allow some heavier balls for the better shock resistance, better endurance.
Cracky balls would be a true money waster to rip out common people.

I am pretty sure that the new plastic ball with the current specification will not survive in the market for the common players. One or two Chinese manufacturers who would continue to produce the old balls would surely cash in on the ITTF's stupidity on the detriment of DHS and any ball "reseller", be it Joola or Butterfly or anybody else who sells rebranded balls made in China.

This is document is the sign that we will be playing with the good old balls for a couple of years imho.

Just as side remark, if they are redesigning the new balls to be heavier in order to be more durable, nothing will change with regards to the speed of table tennis but our rubbers will wear out more often.

I see it confirmed again that it would have been simpler to raise the net just a little and stay with the 38 mm ball. Actually, redesigning the plastic ball to be 38 mm would be a good thing and a passport for Sharara and whoever else that was involved in messing with the ball to the crypt of tabletennis.

It looks like Padle Palace has already formed a sufficient stock of various plastics 40+ for sale.

My main interest is what retail price does they put down for the products ?

ya,no 40+ balls.
I don't thing nittaku is on the market yet.
