Pros
  • ok for training
Cons
  • too soft
  • slow
  • no spin
I play with butterfly balls G40 at training.
So compared to them, DHS balls are too soft (to me), I don't like the feelings in any table.
Moreover, we can't induce a lot of spin on it.
First generation of plastic balls, long live the gen2 (and 3)!

Had a bad experience with these DHS balls. They're considerably slower and hard to spin. The balls break frequently.

Well, the only plus of these balls is their roundness. I didn't have any major roundness issues with them. And now comes the bad part. These balls are slow. It is more difficult to spin them. And they do break fast. I mean really fast. I broke 2 of them in my last match, even if I am a player that give priority to spin over power/speed. The only ones who liked these balls were the choppers. And let's not forget about the price of these balls. So, I will continue to play the old balls, but if I have to choose a plastic ball, I have no reason to choose DHS balls over the Xushaofa ones.

Lucky if you can get more than 15 minutes out of it. I learnt to play smart and avoid using this ball when the other side is a hard hitter. Then it all comes down to how hard your wall and floor is. This ball should be restricted to loops and chops only.

Durability aside, it has all the typical characteristics of seamed plastic ball. Bounce low, not going forward as much as celluloid, less spin and speed...etc. Yet I don't think it is making life easier. The ball bounce low and not going forward means you have to move into position quicker. That is more running back and forth. Also less spin and speed needs more of your own effort in return. Still it is not the end of the world. One should be able to get the hang of it and forget about the passing celluloid within days.

I hope DHS will work hard on iimproving their balls in their future batch.
