  • best poly ball
Cons
  • slow
  • spin
Miles beyond any other 40+ ball out there at the moment. Very consistent trajectory and bounce. Behaves like a celluloid ball in terms of feel and reaction off your racket, although with noticeably less spin. Speed feels the same as celluloid, maybe even faster sometimes.

I actually prefer this ball to the celluloid 40mm, only because it's easier to counter-loop, predict ball flight, and control the ball in extended rallies. I've played with mine a ton, and only a few broke after many hours of play, or if caught on exposed wooden edge of blade during a mis-hit.

Difficult to come by and very expensive when you are able to find. This is pretty much the only 40+ ball I play matches with. Distant 2nd place is the seamless XuShaofa 40+

This rubber is a catapult. Fast rubber for huge attacking strokes and above average control. The only drawbacks-admittedly big ones are a lack of spin and a lower than average throw angle. The throw angle is really only a problem on my backhand side (I use it on both sides) and produces a lot of service errors in the net. The throw angle being preferential ill move onto spin. My overall impression is that for someone who is an all out attacker this is your rubber. It is great from behind the table as well as on the table but doesn't have much of a touch game.
However, I do think Bluefire m1 turbo is better than the m1 version.

I have used this blade for about six months now and its a decent blade. Although there are better allowed blades like Donic Burn OFF. If you have a couple extra bucks then definitely go for Donic Burn Off. If you do purchase this blade make sure you put on some hard rubbers because the blade is not that fast. I tried Xiom vega Europe and it wasn't that good of a combination. Lifting underpin is really easy and so is blocking. Smashing is fabulous. I use this bald e with sonic blue fire m1 and this isn't that bad of a combination. However it is a head heavy combination.
