Durability sucks. I brake one ball almost every tournament. Except that fact, it’s pretty much comparable to dj40.

Same story except throw angle, I do think it have average throw, higher than B2 Gold I used previously. Still fins it’s throw angle very odd, sometimes it grips the ball so well it shoots out two meters away from the table, other time I can’t even lift average backspin. I attribute it to low...

I also ordered China Plus due to good reviews for regular version. Uncut weight is 71g, cut is 47g, very light for 57.5 sponge. Played with it for 2 weeks unboosted. Didn’t like it really. Hardness should be similar to 41-42 chinese, and it really felt like it. Very hard to compress the sponge...

Not really unexpected turn of events. They will be using DHS RS40+ in Europe Smash in Malmo. Main focus in recycling and sustainability, wonder which part is just the cost of manufacturing being lower for these balls🤔

From the description of production, it is a 0.2 mm thinner, carbon is aramid fiber and it claims to be specifically made with cleaner power generation compared to OG DHS 301

The first video is Hurricane Player edition glued to FZD Alc. For comparison, not exact but I dont have spare blade for now, my used Hurricane National, which is much more tacky. With topsheet alone I can easily pick the ball. While glued to the blade, It was able to hold ball for 5 seconds.

Update after second session and two layers of booster. Still left disappointed with amount of spin. Virtually impossible to hit topspins with the same quality. Speed is noticeably higher compared to regular Hurricane 3 Nat BS, but without tackiness spin was subpar at best. I felt lack of tack...

Recently bought Hurricane 3 National Kuai Man Forehand rubber which is 40.5 degrees and has thickness of 2.1. First tried it unboosted, and it was surprisingly playable given its hardness. What made me worry though, is that it had very low amount of spin and any dust at topsheet make it almost...

Also here is whole series of new balls. From chatgpt translation: Table Tennis RS40+ (New) Used in WTT tournaments from 2025 to 2028 Product Description (below Liu Shiwen’s name): • Main material is PCR recycled plastic • High-precision table tennis performance • Approved by ITTF as official...

I assume they are only available in chinese market, at least for now. I am not sure if I will be willing to splurge on these balls. If they are just marginally better than DJ40+, which is standard tournament balls, I see no reason to buy them. Double checked the cost and they are 1.5x the price...

While casually searching in Pinduoduo I found DHS new balls, and now I wondering if anyone has tried them before. They are double the price of DJ40+

Glueing shrank rubber to the blade. Usually leaves space at the bottom and edges. Hate it

Nah. National with blue sponge cost as much. I don’t think there will be market for it

Hello driversbeat I would advise you to lower your body like in the picture, you are standing almost on straight legs. If you want to start playing serious, it should be one of your main priorities. Step by step you will see how much easier it is to play in right position rather than standing...

Thank you for the review. But I was talking about your rug:)
