My club is still mostly using celluloid but I'd estimate about a third of the members have tried the poly ball.  I've only seen the Nittaku SHA used and that's the only one I've tried.  I decided to run a "blind test" to see if anyone would even realize they were playing with a poly.  Surprisingly, nobody even said anything or complained despite the fact they were missing shots.  It was not psychological.  There was one guy however that detected right away that it was a poly.  He is usually a more aggressive Chen Weixing type player but right at the warm-up, he knew we were playing poly.  He went to a steady rather than aggressive mode right away.  So this is one way to adapt, slow your game down and find your put away shots more.  I know that's no fun but it'll up your chances of winning.

Has anyone done a detailed review of the butterfly 3* plastic 40+ along with the yasaka 40+ 3*. Both plastic with seams.

 Baal definitely hits the spot with serves.
Thank heavens. It's not "cool" to see most clubs being own3d by kill3r grandpas. This will give our young ones a fighting chance, and maybe they will play more TT instead of playing computer games all night because they're saltly from getting owned by a grandpa at the club.
It's not too late for you and me to switch to short pips or chess :)
Let the young muscles use the expensive Tenergy.

Actually a lot of the players I know who are past their first blush of youth are telling me they like the extra time they have to get in position but they also say they need to get more fit.  Kind of a mixed bag.

Dreiz, I have not tried one (Btfly 40+).  Has it come out yet?  If they are made in China, than they will be the same as either DF or DHS.

BeaverMD, you don't get used to them right away.  At this point now, for me it's just table tennis pretty much with any of them but it's been three months.  My advice above is for how to get used to them quicker.
