  1. Butterfly A40+

    Review by '42andbackpains' on item 'Butterfly A40+'

    I bought the A40+ and have played a couple of hours with it. This ball should be manufactured for Butterfly by DHS, its plays almost exactly the same as the DHS D40+. On a drop test from the same height when comparing the A40+ to the D40+, the first couple of bounces are almost indentical. But...
  2. Blue Whale 3

    Review by '42andbackpains' on item 'Blue Whale 3'

    At $70 this Haifu Whale 3 is there supposedly equivalent to H3 Neo Provincial blue sponge. First thing, Boosting is not needed on this sheet. And if you do boost, 1 layer is quite adequate. The Haifu Whale 3 is factory tuned and should not need boosting until the factory tuning wears off. Right...
  3. Hurricane 3 NEO

    After the Poly ball was introduced i felt my Adidas P7 forehand rubber was not adequate in creating spin. So i decided to try to find a spinnier rubber. Since many of my clubmates and my coach use DHS H3 neo, i thought why not give it a try. I have not used Chinese hard rubbers since i was a...

    XSF Balls are widely available and comes branded as Yinhe, Gambler, Nexy, Kingnik and so on. I have played with 2 or 3 of the variants and they all play very similar since they come from the same factory. Bounce & Speed is very comparable to the old celluloid ball, you just have to adjust your...
  5. Clipper CR

    Review by '42andbackpains' on item 'Clipper CR'

    I have tried the Clipper CR, CC and Oversize. Clippers give great feedback and control and the CR gives control without the blade being too fast. I myself like harder blades, so i went with the CC instead of CR, but you do lose some of the control with the CC. The Clipper CR is a good starting...
  6. Clipper CC

    Review by '42andbackpains' on item 'Clipper CC'

    I have tried the Clipper Cr, Oversize and CC. I have played with the CC for about 3 months. If you want the Clipper feel and faster speed, then this is the blade for you. Buyer beware: it is very fast and has more control than my previous Adidas Strike Carbon but you will sacrifice control and...
