ttnpp's low prices are often because they have fake/2nds and garbage for sale.

I can play with Xushaofa, but hate the gameplay (light, hitter favored speedball). But like at least one of the batches of Ding Ning DHS D40+ balls better, because they favor service sping and spin on loops. I thought I liked Nittaku Premiums, but lately batches have felt solid, but not spinny at all. The bottom line is that there are many flavors of balls; none of them as consistent or reliable as 2* celluloid balls. The ITTF needs to set more exacting manufacturing standards (ONE TYPE OF BALL) not 3 different plastics and 2 different constructions (seamless). |

I have feeling, that joola prime/or other abs ball/ destroys rubber much quicker than other plastic balls/xushaofa, joola flash.../.

ITTF is either failing to maintain a standard or colluding with the manufacturers to keep changing the material of the TT balls. First came 40 cell, then 40+ plastic and now ABS which all play differently and there are 10's of different options i.e seam or no seam and different companies which you have to try in order to find the ball you like with the rubber/bat setup you like. It's a never ending monopoly of ITTF+manufacturers which makes the players keep spending more and more.
Unless you are a semi-pro or a pro player who can play multiple hours each day and get free stuff from their sponsors, it's very hard to adjust to all of these stupid changes in a short time and also hard on pocket. I got used to Joola Flash, which was a good bouncy and spiny ball, only issue was bad durability, and now they introduced Joola Prime, which IMO is a bit heavier, has less bounce, speed and spin. But have to AGAIN adjust to this new ball since Joola Flash seems to have been discontinued. /endrant Edited by unstopabl3 - 10/19/2018 at 8:12am |

Can you give an example of a '40 plastic' ball? I believe all plastic (non-celluloid) balls were 40+.

Yep - stupid things are different enough so now there is a decent amount of arguments in our league on 'which ball to play with'. We don't have official one, so you end up playing with 3 different balls on the evening, because you have a dude with the shiniest worn out NP 40+ he swears is still the best ball in the universe, XSF fan, Joola Flash loyalist etc. You can always pick one at random, but then 'loser' gets to complain all night on how he lost because of that. And we're talking more or less meaningless matches here - don't know how pros deal with that.

Damn right! +1
The pros usually know which ball will be used in the tournament and practice intensively in preparation for it. Plus they are PROS so they get used to such changes more quickly than us mere mortals :P Edited by unstopabl3 - 10/19/2018 at 9:34am |

So at what point will you decide that "not round" demands a refund? When tennis players get a defective batch of balls they |
