DHS D40+ to Be Released in April

My hope is that it's a Nittaku premium clone c

Right now I much prefer WD40 over DHS 40.

No, as it says only 1-star balls will be available at first.

SURPLUS POSTING UNWANTED. EXPELLED.

NIR SPECTROSCOPY CAN HELP OUT.        You, friends, do appear getting over-enthusiastic over the new DHS plastic D40+.   DHS is quite different material from Nittaku"s, Diacetate Cellulose is a crude material, not the ABS. "D" capital letter now seen in the marking is just an index for "Deodorized". Plastic Ball quality and durability no problem any more, most balls now play wery well, just in line with all the T3 technical specifications..   Most players have now got well satisfied with the DHS competition balls.

Those overwhelming raise of Oil Boost illegalities is now getting a real hazard upon our sport, some black plague to corrupt our sport throughout.

NEVER MORE. DEDICATION. Players of real honour, Timo Boll and Mizutaney Jun, my dear playmates, let me dedicate this anti-boost inquisitons to both of you in person. Honesty is the best policy. Better safe than sorry. Yes.

Then russian table tennis must shutdown, russian players must start a career in hockey or chess

NP40 and G40 are both perfectly round. I abandoned XSF and i regret buying so many of them. The are often not round and the simply do not fly well as the other two balls. They dissipate energy too quickly and lose spin and speed and the trajectory is not as stable.

They dissipate energy too quickly and lose spin and speed and the trajectory is not as stable.  I want to confirm the findings of someone else who posted pictures here: the G40 WILL get a dent if you hit an edge. The ball is still perfectly playable, but if it bounces exactly on the dent, the bounce will be funny. I have now too many balls that are not that old but have dents and I don't want to use them in good matches. I don't want to throw them either, so I use them in matches where i don't care. A NEW G40 is just pure pleasure to play with, sound does not bother me at all. But NP40 does not have the dent problem and sound is classic and i don't get every single fool who passes by my table tell me my ball is broken.

I agree with pretty much all of this, especially with some XSF I have gotten more recently.  These days I use XSF only for multiballs.  The only thing I would add is that I find G40 to be harder to play with once they age a bit and get even shinier and smoother.

I absolutely prefer NP40 much more than other balls.  So if DHS has found a way to clone it, I am happy.

Nothing, absolutely nothing.  Nittaku suing the ass out of DHS, perhaps?

Actually this test is quite misleading, as the NP40+ is heavier it should bounce more, not less than regular NP40 to be equal.  In play I find the NP40+ less dynamic, as it takes more effort to produce the same speed and trajectory than the regular NP40.

One wonders.

Pictures were released on a news site but nothing on the streets.

Actually, I sometimes dislike celluloid now though it sounds pervy to say that. However, I had the opportunity to hit with NP40 and it was the least enjoyable of all to me. It feels dead indeed and when I am away from the table and try to lob a smash back it will just fall of my rubber and this is something that none of the other plastic balls do. So it would be helpful to see if the new DHS will be similar to the NP40 and if so, I will think about using XSF.

I also tend to prefer plastic now, as long as it is XSF or NP40+.  Most people like the NP40, though.  Give it another try.   A lot of table tennis is getting accustomed to something. 

(Baal)  A lot of table tennis is getting accustomed to something.

This is self-evident, but it nevertheless bears repeating  So let's repeat it:  "a lot of table tennis is getting accustomed to something."

First, you gotta get accustomed to the rig you use (that is, blade and rubber(s) combination).  Then you gotta get accustomed to the booster you choose.  Then you gotta get used to that awful feeling once your rubber bottoms out.  Then, if you can't get used to all of this, you are going to have to get used to another blade and rubber and booster combination.  And then you gotta get accustomed to the blade and rubber(s) and possibly booster combination your opponent du jour uses, which may change for the same reason your choice of blade and rubber(s) and booster changes.

The same applies to you Dark Siders.  If your long pips or anti- aren't working right, you're going to have to go to another brand of hopefully more effective long pips or anti-.  Too much of this, whether you're a Dark Sider or a Looping Fool, is referred to in table tennis parlance as EJing.

In addition, there is the 40+ mm. ball, which may very from club to club and tournament to tournament, is manufactured by a myriad of manufacturers (for example Nittaku, Butterfly, Double Happiness, Double Fish, Joola, etc., etc., et-friggin'-c.) and which can vary considerably in roundability, bounceability, playability, spinability, and counterspinability.

And if that were not enough, you're going to have to become accustomed to any new changes the ITTF chooses to make to the sport, such as raising the net, putting more composite stuff in rackets, allowing all composite rackets (hell other racket sports have used 'em for years), and either simplifying the service rules so that a reasonably intelligent three-year-old can understand them or further complicating them so that even a rocket scientist hasn't the foggiest idea how to interpret them.

Good luck, gang.  You've chosen to play one of the craziest sports incompetence married to lackadaisicality has yet to come up with.   Relax if you can, but remember this elevator doesn't stop at all floors.
