I've not tried any of the 3* Butterfly balls. How do the G40+ compare to the newer A40+ balls? Has anyone tried both to compare? ------------- Smart; VS>401, Dtecs OX http://tabletennisshop.com.au/index.php?main_page=page&id=42" rel="nofollow - Tenergy Alternatives | http://tabletennis-reviews.com" rel="nofollow - My TT Articles |

To me A40 feels harder and doesn't get smooth/polished like the G40 ------------- OSP Expert II w DNA Dragon Grip |

A40+ are the new ABS balls with many comparables from DHS and DFish. G40+ balls are destined for the mortuary. ------------- https://youtu.be/jhO4K_yFhh8?t=115" rel="nofollow - I like putting heavy topspin on the ball... Cybershape Carbon FH/BH: H3P 41D.

A40+ is made in china, so may be just a rebanded D40+ or V40+ ------------- Aurora ST: Rhyzm / Talent OX |

For me A40+ is way better than g40+ which sounds broken all the time and get glass smooth very quickly. A40+ is also better than V40+ in terms of consistency and quality but they fade very quickly and lose the bright white color. D40+ is still my favorite ball for the price in terms of consistency and quality. I think A40+ play very similar to the D40+. ------------- Ovtcharov Innerforce ALC 85g FH/BH: Glayzer 09C 2.1mm USATT: 1725 |

I am at the low-intermediate level and can switch between BFY A40+, DHS D40+, and Gambler P40+ without any adjustments. I hate the G40+ ball that many of the better players in my club sadly prefer. Fortunately many agree to hit with my A40+ (they think higher of BFY vs DHS). I am OK with the Nittaku Premium 40+ but is a bit different vs. DHS 40+; my guess is that the Nittaku is slightly more bouncy and less spiny. |

| I wonder when Bty sponsored clubs will start usung the A40+ for tournaments. Triangle, MDTTC, and WDCTT all use the G40+. And to me that's an unplayable ball, like the pre-ABS DHS balls. |

Same situation in Russia and Portugal. I guess not until they work through their leftover G40+ stock... ------------- USATT: ~1810 Butterfly Defense Alpha ST - H3 Neo - Cloud&Fog OX |

The best guess is: When the warehouse is G40+ empty. Thanks, ------------- Tenergy: Two weeks of heaven, followed by three months of excellence, then, a nice rubber. |

I can get used to almost any ball, except for the G40+. That is the one ball I refuse to play with. To me, it is on the same level as the old egg shaped balls we played with back in the Soviet Union days. Ilya ------------- BTY Mazunov ST Dignics 05 |
