  • Expensive
  • SLOW
The Stiga Optimum 40+ is not a really bad ball now, or at least not as bad as when it first came out! The first 4-5 batches (of 72 balls) were absolute rubbish, you could break the ball by blocking, and most of the boxes had like 3-4 really good balls (out of 72 balls!!)

Nowadays they are getting better and better and some of the balls even lasts for two weeks before they break! The speed, or the lack of it, is not easy to adjust to, but okay when you're used to it. The spin ain't that bad, but it's definitively harder to spin good..

Unfortunatly this is the ball we use in ALL the tournaments in Norway, from nationals to hobby, this is the ball. And now as i've got used to it, I kinda like it, but the ball is really bad compared to some of the other plastic balls out there, and not to mention the good old cell balls ;)
