DHS 3 star 40+

I've been playing with some plastic balls, and mostly with 3*** DHS 40+, but sometimes with 3*** Stiga 40+. My first DHS 40+ ball broke within 1 session of playing. It might have hit the edge of the blade, but then I have hit the edge of my blade many times with other balls, and they don't break immediately. So this may indicate its weak durability.
In terms of gameplay feel, I think it is acceptable. I am perhaps not at a high level to tell the exact difference between a Stiga 40+ and a DHS 40+, but for general matches, I am happy to use either. Just that with using DHS 40+, probably a good idea to bring a few extra for any unexpected accidents.

Unforunately, this is the ball for competition, we must use it though the ball is a bit slower.

I bought it because it's the most common and affordable, and I wanted to see how are we going to play in the future.

The Pros: Basically is the most affordable ball that I could find at the moment I purchased it. From the physical point of view the ball has a smoother texture that keeps it more clean, by this, I mean that less dust/sweat sticks to it, also the color is a brighter white that doesn't fade too much.

The Cons: Like many have stated it before the ball is slower, having said that, is better for my style of play since I haven't been able to adjust to the Pro rubbers that I've been using. The slower ball makes it easy to serve, trading spin for better placement on the other side of the table.

Of course the lack of spin and speed will upset the players that like to engage in fast rallies, also the ball is more fragile than the celluloid version, so if you're a heavy hitter you'll be cracking a few more often.

So far I found it easier to play than Stiga optimum 40+, but it doesn't compare to polyballs by Kingnik and XuShaoFa

I just hope in the future for a quality improvement, and a lower price.

Is one of the better plastic balls at the moment but still improvements to be made as it does break in half sometimes mid air, and is often quite wobbly as it is soft, will be interesting to see DHS bring out a better ball...hopefully soon!

I bought the ball immediately after its release to try it out, but I wasn't satisfied. I expected it to be a lot more durable (cracked 3 balls during my first training /2 hrs/) and it sounds and is shaped very odd. The celluloid balls are a lot better shaped (more rounded) and they don't sound like they're cracked even if they are not. Overall though you can't spot many differences between the plastic and celluloid balls, but compared to the plastic balls from other manufacturers these are not the best you can get.

I take out the box. I show my friends, and everybody excitedly looks in and gets ready to hit. We take one out. I drive first, slow hits, to someone's block. Then I pull away to start looping. I strike the ball. It hits the opponents side and literally does not bounce. It sits there. My partner picks it up, drops it on the table, and it breaks in two. In 2 minutes, the first ball has broken. This keeps happening for all the balls, and soon my six are all broken. DON'T BUY THIS. It says it's a 3 star ball, and I'm giving it three stars. It truly deserves less. I can't give an accurate description of it's attributes (spin, speed, ect), because THEY ALL BROKE BEFORE I COULD TEST ANYTHING
