Nittaku Nexcell expectable cost of 3 USD a piece.. really at price of gold.
Double Fish V40+ 0.6 USD, on sale right now from Aliexpress. I do prefer DF, just due to my mental sanity. |

Poly ball is a s..t, orange balls were S..ts....orange poly balls will be big s..ts.. TT has to be played with only 1 color for the balls: white. It is already difficult to deal with the white polyballs from different brands which clubs can use in Belgian competition for instance. For instance, my club uses xushuofa but other clubs use xiom, donic, tibhar or the worst ones: stiga....each time we play away, we have to deal with totally different balls....if clubs are allowed using orange balls or white, that will add another difficultiy: you have to adapt your vision which is not easy for everybody.

But what if you play where the walls are white? There are some other practicalities. Many seniors have told me they only can see orange.

This discussion comes up regularly here too. Some players do moan about orange balls, but the more important issue is keeping as many venues viable as possible. They just have to get on with it for the greater good.

This was a great signature until I realised it was overrated.

I agree, at some venues it is easier to see an orange ball depending on the lighting and wall color. Back in celluloid days I preferred the orange ball but had to make the switch to white with poly.

I played with DF V40+ at NCTTA tournament and those balls are absolute cr*p. For training maybe they are ok, but for match play I prefer NP40+, DHS D40+, and BTY A40+.

I played with a Joola ball yesterday for the first time. It was absolutely terrible. We have more or less standardized on Nittaku Premiums here, so changing is always tricky.

The joola ball is terrible too. Reminds me of the XSF balls which I highly dislike now. Both of these have bad QC issues.

A couple of guys at my club are going to the tournament in Vegas next week where, apparently, Joola balls will be used, so we played with those yesterday. They are soft, light and have extremely inconsistent bounce. Using them in Vegas will make it even worse. ILya

Try playing with white balls in a racquetball court. We need orange 3* poly. People who don't like oramge don't have to buy them.

When you mention the Joola balls are you referring to the Joola Flash balls? They bounce higher than the Nittaku and new DHS+ balls so I can understand why players wouldn't like them.
The new ABS Joola Prime poly balls are made by DHS I'm told and they bounce similarly to the Nittaku ones. We use the new Prime balls at my club and most players are fine with them. |

Well, I can only speak about clubs in Belgium. White walls in places where we have TT competition are normally not allowed. In very low divisions, a few clubs use school halls for playing and it is possible to find some rare places with white walls. most of the clubs have had their walls painted in light blue, grey, orange... In my league, we have 12 teams, so 22 days of championship a season, that means 11 days away. When you go playing away, you only have +/-30 minutes of training before the competition begins. It is already complicated to be competitive with the different brands of polyballs of course because you are used to train with the brand which is used by your club. If you add a different colour, that will be worse for me, because for instance : -match day one : will play with white xushuofa; -match day two: will play with stiga optimum white -match day three, will play with xushuofa white -match day four, will play with nittaku orange -match day five, will play with joola white.... ....... I have eyes problems for switching from white to orange and from one brand of balls to another with only 30 minutes warming before competition. Edited by kakapo - 06/13/2018 at 2:17pm |

I am not sure which these are. Probably Flash. They were white with blue writing on them and I think they were seamless. ILya

Bought some orange DHS and DF 40+ a while back from taobao. They are about the same in both size and weight comparing to their white versions. The surface of them are slick like celluloid. DHS feels slow but still playable. DF seems worse and not bounce enough in play. They are not perfect but at least I can play with 40+ at last with a group of seniors who have undergone eye surgery in a white wall environment. We are stuck to play with orange celluloid all these years until now.

I asked Zeropong about orange abs balls since they are now selling seamed white abs balls.
They said that they do not sell orange abs balls at this time because the additives to make the abs orange causes the balls to fail the ittf hardness test. I suspect that while some orange abs balls are on the approved list, mfrs like DHS have not figured out how to produce them in volume. They were able to make small batches of balls that could pass ittf testing, but cannot do full production yet. |

I have these. Bought from Aliexpress. The balls are of good quality, the seem is super smooth (in fact indistinguishable). Bought them to see if they could help to read the spin better. So they don't. Even on moderate spin/speed topspins you can't see the rotation, the ball seems orange. Same with opponents serve. If it's a low speed serve there is not enough time to read the opponents racket movement, get ready to receive the serve and at the same time stare at the ball trying to see how it rotates. It's still has to be done the usuall way - from opponents racket movement, contact point, balls trajectory... if the serve is a high speed one, you won't see even if you didn't prepare to receive, cause eye can't distinguish the fast rotation at high speed. This ball could be useful if you are learning /practicing a new serve, to see the quality of the spin applied, as you have more time and usually don't produce fast enough serves if you are trying to at the beginning...

Great news - I just received word from Paddle Palace that they expect to receive practice orange balls from Nittaku in six months (J-Top) and then three star balls in six months to a year! No word yet though on when they will stock DHS orange balls.

I have to admit - I also asked if I could pre-order some balls to get ahead of the crowds! Alas, I was told no such luck.
