So at our club, a member who with some college students, traveled to somewhere to China to train with some academy and they took some of our DHS D40+ balls we get from TTNPP. They were told from people there that the ball we have is fake.
First off, I hate stories like this. There's nothing I can do to prove or disprove this. It's just hearsay. But that's what they were told. That largely most things DHS outside of China are fakes.
I think that probably there is nothing I can do about this. But in investigating, I remember this ITTF video on how DHS balls are made from 2017.
There's a section on quality control at 4:13 where they state the the balls that pass through this one by one inspection mark, the "competition balls" are selected. Does anybody know if those are simply the cream of the crop that are used in competitions and/or professional academies in China? I doubt DHS throws out all the balls that don't make the competition ball standard. I assume they're simply boxed up & sold. Could that be what's going here?
For example. I know if that I were to get a DHS H3 National, it wouldn't be the same DHS H3 National say Ma Long gets because they get the best quality cuts pieces reserved for them. Could it be the same for balls?
Thoughts?
