Yes, but bear in mind that throw angle affects racket angle you need to use when you hit loops or counters, not just when you are blocking, and that is the usually the shots players use to get the first impression of a rubber. I find it useful info for rubber. When people talk about throw...

For sure some boxes are worse than others. But that is part of the assessment. Overall durability is ok but not remarkable. It is not their best feature. I have been using them since they came out so i am basing this on about a hundred balls.

Hopefully soon. Actually the fact that they are still not selling the D40+ yet gives me some reason for optimism. They are taking their time to get it right.

Nice reply (Edit: since it was copied verbatim from somewhere else!). Here is a bit more about it (not copied verbatim from a different website). It is a property that emerges from several interacting things, including the adhesion of the topsheet to the ball (grip or tackiness), the shape...

pgpg is correct. By the way, another point about durability is that one has to consider how the outer surface wears, not just how long before they break. I personally don't like to use balls that get worn and shiny and the Nittaku Premium 40+ gets that way relatively quickly (a feature that...

You should instead assume that I rarely mis-hit on the edge of my blade! My club has a Gerflor and green tarps on the walls. They improve visibility but also cushion balls striking the wall. Maybe that affects how our balls wear or break. Joola seamed balls are bad as ever. I am frequently...

I would be surprised if any forum members have tried as many different plaxtic balls as I have. I made it mission for quite a long time. The info in that last link you posted agrees with my experience. One thing I would add is that while it is true that Chinese seamed 40+ balls improved a...

No, just checked, those are the seamed 40+ plastic balls DHS has been selling ffrom the beginning. You had me quite excited so I went to buy some from TT11. But those are not the new D40+ balls made of the newest material and the micro seams (like Nittaku Premiun). And they are not very good...

Actually, though, another thing that is important for me is the wing shape.

Yes, I have noticed that. Actually my favorite ones these days are from Yinhe.

Yes no question. And I have been using seamless from the beginning, and Nittaku Premium too, and I have had several hundred seamless and lots of Nittaku also (but not as many). If you don't strike a seamless ball on an edge, it lasts forever. Edges can kill them in a dramatic and catostrophic...

Yep. A lifetime with FL, except for last 4 months switched to ST, but back to FL. It really does exactly that for me too.

Ok. But then I guess the people who's posts you don't like are the ones who are keyboard warriors. Is that right?

If it is true, it could be that Xiom demands slightly different QC specs. This is not impossible, in fact I very much suspect that different seamless balls have different consistency according to brand. However, I ordered some Xiom balls early on and never noticed any difference in durability...

I can forgive a lot for someone who provides this information. We don't want our TT channels shut down arbitrarily.

$$$$$$$ That is why.

Nittaku Premium plays closer to celluloid (mainly because they are slightly smaller than seamless), costs more, and is less durable. It requires a little less of an adjustment. So a lot of people like them better from a purely playing perspective (I do). But if the seamless ball was the...

you expect everybody to agree?

Which is partly why there was no reason to call him a scammer or a spammer. Also to my knowledge he has not sent me an email asking me for money or trying to sell me herbs to increase my sexual vigor, and it is not like he is trying to sell a fake blade, or really, anything at all. So that was...
