for the price these balls should definitely be better, after a couple of sessions many are turning egg-shaped and even breaking, the speed and consistency are generally okay however occasionally the ball just seems to dip after bounce

Pros
  • reaction trainin
Cons
  • not round
  • short durability
we have about 100 plastic balls and about 40% are "round",the rest are ecpliptical...
the durability is poor.
the rest is as it should be.
because of the non roundness the ball is good for reaction training but it can be sometimes frustrating(the non standard ball rebound)

Like many other new balls they keep disappoints me. I thought this Butterfly ball was much slower then I was expecting and I can't say that the quality satisfied me. Some were good round but many I tried felt a bit eggy, really miss the old ball.

i just follow all the others reviews from the above. tried a friends butterfly ball and was very disapointed. i expected more from butterfly. maybe it was a bad ball that we tried but when reading the above statements i fell more convinced that it was not just our ball that was bad. ball was nice designed but that dont help when the durability is bad and the roundness.

OMG ! I really don't like this ball, you just don't know where you are with it, after trying the DHS plastic ball and being quite happy with it , I thought I'd try a quality butterfly ball, as this , I thought, must be even better! WRONG! It floats something terrible and in a warm room wobbles like a returned ball from Lentec swing!( Not many that remember that nasty piece of lp I bet ) it seems to take an age to come down, making timing your loop shot very tricky, it's wierd! Hope I've just got a bad box, please let me know if anyone else has the same issues 😣😣

Sadly like many of the other new balls the quality is far from okay, so many breaks just in one practice. I like the design but I'm disappointed with the durability and I also find the the ball surprisingly slow.

Alright. Here's my take on the ball. I have to say, I was pretty disappointed when I used this ball. From reading agold's review and many others, I thought that the ball would be very spinny, somewhat like the old ball but a little slower. Boy, was I wrong.

This ball is for one, not very round. I don't complain on the "odd bounces" that others do. However, I do feel like it is something to note here.

Secondly, it is just too slow for any play. No matter how I hit this ball, it just seems to float through the air and land "softly?" is how I would like to describe it? I don't know. It's a very weird effect.

Next, the ball lacks any sort of spin. I tried putting loops in, serves, pushes, etc. Nothing had any spin. I couldn't do anything with the ball.

However, the ball (being so bad) did help me adjust to the DHS balls and how they play. I don't know how this works, but that's what happened. Final verdict:Don't waste your money on these.
