Great video and testing idea, thank you! I would like to see similar testing done with training balls. Will you really notice the difference between 3 star balls and 1 star DHS ball? What about no star training balls from bf from example? That would be good to know.
I suspect the only difference between the 3 star and 1 star ball is that the 3 star balls are subjected to a lot of testing while 1 star balls are either not tested at all or tested less. Since testing is expensive, this accounts for the difference in price. They all come off the same production line. So it boils down to - how good are the balls as they come off the production line? How many balls out of 100 fail the 3 star test? If it's 50%, or 20%, then the 3 star balls would be better in the sense that you'd likely find a lot of outlier balls in the box of 1 star balls. If the reject rate is 2%? Then the 1 star balls would be indistinguishable from the 3 star. I used to buy and play with the Double Fish 1 star balls when the balls were celluloid, because I couldn't tell the difference between them and the 3 star balls, in fact I liked them better than DHS celluloid 3 star balls. These days, I haven't even bothered trying the DHS 1 star balls, or the Double Fish balls at all, because the DHS 3 star balls are really cheap and seem to last forever. Actually, I really like the DHS 2 color balls (which have no stars at all). I can't tell the difference between these and the 3 star balls, other than I can see them better at the place I play.
great video guys, you look very stressed, relax its table tennis :D. I just missed an overview in the end with a pick from best to worst for you. Price would be also a factor. cheers
Парни, спасибо. Ролики от вас большая редкость, к сожалению. От всей российской тусовки НТ огромное спасибо за отличный сервис и лояльность. Всех благ ;-)
@@Waingro808 The reason there is an orange ball is some places are painted white. I wish they'd make certified balls in other colors that you can choose for specific situations - I liked the old TSP yellow balls in the 1980s, for instance, and I think a bright pink ball would be useful in some situations. Give the bi-color balls a try, too, by the way - I find them the most visible where I play. They're not "3 stars" because they don't meet ITTF rules, but they're used in the China Super League.
In my club we have Tibhar balls and they play nice. My personal favourite is DHS becuase it has a little extra spin. The worst one I have ever played with was JOOLA.. They feel soft, but heavy and have very little grip
Nice and rare topic , at my senior club we paly with chep balls , i use my own 3 stars Huison but sometimes they dont return in my pocket ! Suggestion : testing thos el cheapo e 3 stars found on the internet.
I knew this even before watching. I mean Thang nittaku has the best balla. Excellent quality.. We have the nittaku training balls in our club and the very similar to the better nittaku 3 star balls... When I had to play in other clubs using other balls I'm so frustrated..
Guys, we're waiting the test of new rubbers, like xiom jeckyll & hyde, andro R45, 48, 53, the new rasanter C series C48 and C53, new nittaku hammond Z2, new tibhar FX-D and EL-D, etc...
It does seem as though the "Plastic Ball Wars" have sorted themselves out - the dominant balls seem to be the seamed ABS balls. Seamless balls seem to have fallen off the radar, there are only a few brands left, while the ABS balls sold by DHS and under many other brand names seem to be everywhere. (The seamless balls have this tendency to react more to sidespin, too.. something I didn't like about them.) To be honest, I haven't even tried the DHS DJ40+ and Nittaku balls yet because the ordinary DHS balls are so good (and the DJ40+ and Nittaku balls are so much more expensive). They also seem to last forever, unlike the last generation (which were the cellulose acetate balls). All the angry posts on table tennis forums about plastic balls also seems to have died down. Orange balls are also widely available. I actually like the DHS bi-color balls - they are the most visible ones at the place I play (where there is a lot of glare). These are not ITTF certified (since they don't conform to the rules) but are every bit as high quality as the DHS 3 star balls. They're used (or were used) in the China Super League. Also curious about the DHS Outdoor balls - I should try a box and find out, I suppose.
I feel like balls last so long that I just always go for nittaku 3 stars. I don't like how soft the dhs balls feel. The nittaku balls feel very crisp and provide a higher pitched sound that really just lets you know when you hit the ball right. I think overall the community is a 60% nittaku (crisp) and 40% DHS/Double Fish (Soft). It almost reminds me of the wood outer layer debate. Slight majority prefer softer limba and a large minority prefers crisp koto.
I have looked everywhere I only had 3 of them! they seemed to have a thicker wall to them and they looked a little smaller! 38mm? please let me know! @@mkyt206
Nittaku has still exceptional quality, even for 2 star training balls. Donic is not that good. Joola is super hard, and you need time to adapt to it. Butterfly balls are, and I'm not bashing butterfly here for no reason, absolute TRASH BALLS. All of them, from training to 3star matchball!!! DHS best price/performance with 3star matchball, love em. Chinese know their stuff.

DHS balls are legend especially their durability. Always my pick.

saludos desde chile. thanks for the video was fun!. you are the best tt page of the life
Nice review! Also, the kid has grown a lot since the last test video. 😉
Beautiful video! Can you create a video on how to seal a table tennis racket? Please.
Thanks. Could you test training balls next (less than 3 stars) and compare with Nittaku *** perhaps?

thank you for the review
Plastic balls is the worst thing that has happened to table tennis.
I use DHS 3 star in orange and I absolutely love the quality and price of it.
It's hard, round and it keeps it's properties for a very long time.
I like orange color too, but my playing partners don't like it ☹

@@Waingro808 , here too , some are very picky/not collaborative on the color .

Joola Prime and Joola Flash are two good balls!
Jolla Flash is seamless

Very nice video.
Thank you very much!
Dhs WTT & Nittaku
Not only are the Nittakus the best playing balls, they are exceedingly durable, lasting up to three to four months of heavy play.
I want to know the difference between neotec japan and chinese version

Some time back we had a smaller ball that was hard and it had a high pitch to it! does any know what kind it was??
Maybe de old 38mm balls?
I have looked everywhere I only had 3 of them! they seemed to have a thicker wall to them and they looked a little smaller! 38mm? please let me know! @@mkyt206
I think you mean the old double circle balls
I don't know! I have looked everywhere can't find them! Do you know the brand or is that what they are called? @@HBR-SR
conclusion was very little difference between brands which makes DHS balls with different levels for human no difference.
Nittaku has still exceptional quality, even for 2 star training balls.
Donic is not that good.
Joola is super hard, and you need time to adapt to it.
Butterfly balls are, and I'm not bashing butterfly here for no reason, absolute TRASH BALLS. All of them, from training to 3star matchball!!!
DHS best price/performance with 3star matchball, love em.
Chinese know their stuff.
🌎🇪🇨🙂👍
Butterfly and Double Fish balls are missing in test.
