Fake Double Fish Balls

I thought I was getting a deal on aliexpress but these turned out to be fake:

The stamping is different from the real ones that I have. The stars on the ball are bigger and the F in Fish doesn't touch the fish in the real stamp. The stamping is also different ball to ball on the fake ones.

Real one is on the left.

I knew there were fakes of DHS and Butterfly but not Double Fish. Hopefully noone else makes the same mistake I did.

What are the other aspects of these fake balls, like roundness, hardness and bounce?

I get these for my coaching, great value and real: http://www.tabletennisonly.com/tabletennis/pages/productDetail.jsp?pid=451&cid=great 10% off <span style="font-family: tahoma, 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">Coupon code:  201210,  code applies to Bty blades too.</span>

I am asking sweetstrike about the balls he/she bought.

GENUINE BALLS WILL BEAR DATA CODE.

The stamp's outlook may vary a little from a batch to batch. Instead your making comparisons on the stamps, take a close examination on the ball's paper box.
There should be a 4-digit DATA CODE imprinted on the box flap.       

I bought the fake double fish before. I can't play with that ball and so frustate. Luckily, they except I return.
