Ah, I see they are made in China. By, DHS,DF, or by the company that makes the seamless balls in China ?

Not sure. Either Korea or China is my guess, but those are only guesses.

Nexy 40+ are seamless and made in China, hence they must be made in XSF factory (as with Palio balls). That means they are probably excellent balls with good roundness, good durability, and most importantly, a bounce like celluloid. I very much hope other companies will start using XSF to produce their balls. It is a high quality product as many people here have noticed.

Based on the plastic ball being heavier, would people who have played with plastic balls say that the impact is harder and that the plastic ball is worse for people suffering from tennis elbow?

My guess is that they will not so much a problem for elbow because the weight is really very little different. People with rotator cuff issues could have more problems is they are trying to loop with heavy spin because the larger diameter tempts you to swing harder in an effort to get more spin, and these 40+ balls punish you if you don't get good body rotation. (But you have a little more time to do it). |

Just as Baal said, the issue is really if you want to play exactly the same way as you did with the old ball. If you do, you will need to get fitter. Most people will adjust by playing a bit closer to the table and relying less on spin and more on speed - not dissimilar to what I heard happened when the 38 was replaced with the 40.

I like putting heavy topspin on the ball...

+1. i played the same with the new ball though it felt like it drifted more. other ppl were having trouble clearing the net. it might even be better for me as if i miss, it tends to be off the table than into the net :)

Durability is an issue right now. Several cracked poly balls on the floor at practice session. At my level ( middle) I felt little difference between the old and new balls other than a slight decrease in spin with the new ball. |

Yet another plug for the seamless polyballs --- no durability problems at all.

IMO, the differences between tables, rubbers, blades, and day of the week are more significant then the new ball. A half-way skilled played, like myself, should be able to adjust within a hour of rallying. The pros have been using the ball for months and all is well! The new Nexy 3* ball is quite nice. I prefer the seamless . . . it's like a perfectly formed dumpling.

Companies are already developing and releasing gear to compensate for the new poly ball era!

I have some Joola ones. 5/6 are a little wobbly when you spin them on the table, but play fine and seem quite consistent. The 6th one is almost perfectly weighted when spun on the table, but seems a little lighter and more 'cracked' sounding when you hit it or it hits the table. It bounces more inconsistently than the others and occasionally it hardly seems to bounce at all.
