Well when Dima was talking about how much he liked this ball in his facebook post, I remember him indicating that Donic, who sponsors him i believe, will be coming out with an ABS plastic ball as well.
So I think it's a yes.... Possibly. ;)


Sounds promising, a problem in Sweden is that most tournaments and league play uses Stiga balls so no point to practice with other balls. So hope Stiga release a ABS ball also!

It's very likely that any company who marketed a rebranded DHS 40+ ball (the original, rubbish one) will introduce a rebranded D40+ offering. It's either do that, stop selling a seamed plastic ball (supply of the original ball will dry up eventually), or switch to a different manufacturer (seamless, if they don't already offer both options - many do).

Also, you can make some educated guesses by checking the ball list regularly:

For example, after DHS got the D40+ on the list, Donic added the P40+, Stiga added the Perform 40+, and Tibhar the SYNTT NG 40+. All seamed, all made in China. I would eat a cake shaped like my hat if they aren't all rebranded D40+ balls.

i`v just got batch of ten pieces .... they looks in the hand different. Not so white ass 40+ , D40+ is slightly yellow and joint is less visible.
And re-branding will be not so easy ... they used a different color for some part of the text.

I don't really know how the ittf equipment list works. But I can see Donic, Stiga and Yasaka has a ball that I myself have never seen before added to the lists.

Could these be the new balls from them?

Ah andy already wrote about this :)

I think Yasaka SL means SeamLess... so, should be a Xushaofa clone. Not DHS bastard.

Don't wanna be pidgeon holin', but technically speaking it's NOT a clone, but rather a rebranded XSF, since they're the only factory producin' seamless balls.

Easy, either it's not possible for a robot to do the quality control or it's cheaper with people.
