Orange 40+ ?

Hey all....have been away but playing still.   I had gotten some of the orange DHS 40+ balls from HK when they first were almost availalbe.   They seem to play like a 2 star but not too bad...not as strong as the white ones that first came out...which I still have a lot of thankfully after reading about the DHS ball situation now.

i recall some info and opinions of the Nittaku variants...but none were good awhile ago.  

What is the current state of orange 40+ balls?   No one has got it right yet still?

Igor...those are what I have been using in white and orange...

I had a feeling the orange balls formulation was going to be an issue with the new balls.......and so it is.  DHS did a pretty good job though...close.....but no Cgar. 

Going back to the white ones as I feel the DHS 40+ balls are the best......unless someone wants to fund my play with brand new Nittaku's for every match....cause that is how long they last before getting all slippery and glassy.  They also feel lighter/softer to me over the DHS 40+.  I had read many comments when Nittaku came out with their version(s) of the orange 40+......almost all comments where they were slow/soft. 

Thanks for your comments all. 

Interesting you should say that...

Everyone I knew in the days of celluloid balls played with orange.  That's was here in the USA, of course, since the rest of the world mostly used white.  When the 40+ balls came out only in white, there was a lot of complaining, including on this forum.  Now, it seems that everyone I know prefers only white.  

When the orange DHS and Nittaku 40+ balls came out, I got some of each.  No one wanted to play with them.  Paddle Palace, which runs some local tournaments, tried orange for one tournament and the outcry was so loud they immediately switched back to white.  And even now, I keep a bag of practice balls at my club, all of which are white except two orange balls.  Everyone I hit with makes snide remarks when we get to the orange balls.

Personally, I'm skeptical that orange balls behave much different than white, although some small difference might be possible (just as black rubbers tend to grip slightly better than red).  People don't like change is what I mostly see.  So give them one color and stick to it.

Or two colors: I really think a two color balls would help the game.

2 color  balls would be an excuse  to make more expensive balls
