All *** balls

DHS 40+ abs - used on the ITTF world pro tour

Nittaku Premium 40+ abs - used in the USA at the Open and Nationals and most sanctioned smaller tournaments

those 2 different balls play similar

The Sanwei ABS 40+ are very good balls but cheaper.

Yogi, how much do you pay for these Sanwei balls? The DHS 40+ 3 star balls are around $ 0,60 each (on Aliexpress) when buying 20 of them.

Thanks for the tip, Loopadoop.

I didn't know that they offered free shipping, so this is a pretty good deal. It also seems that the delivery time is pretty acceptable.

I got mine free. I like the Sanwei ABS better.

Sanwei are Table Tennis England's official ball for the 2018/2019 season. DHS are also good, as are Joola Flash. Wouldn't touch Butterfly with a bargepole. For some reason the Nittaku balls aren't going down very well at my club - possibly because they go shiny after a few uses, but more likely because they're heavy and don't bounce so high. Everyone seems to like Xushaofa though - different strokes for different folks.

Jirrex · Sep 29, 2018

I couldn't find Sanwei 40+ ABS 3 star balls for a lower price than DHS's equivalent. I did, however, find Sanwei 40+ ABS 2 star balls for only $ 0,25 each when buying 100. Sounds like a great deal, assuming they aren't that much worse than the 3 star balls.

Edit: I guess I stumbled upon a somewhat misleading title, apparently the balls I've seen weren't Sanwei balls.

We play Joola Flash in our club, pretty decent ball I would say. Only downside is that everytime you hit the ball with the edge of your racket you need a new ball

perham · Sep 30, 2018

We use a lot of Joola Flash balls, and they’re quite good. They break often though. Xushaofa is also very good. Butterfly is aweful. It looks shiny, plays weird, and sounds like a broken ball, and does not spin at all. Tibhar was ok as well but I haven’t played a lot with it.

As the question is Which balls are used internationally?
I would say that chinese balls are the most internationally used. Not cinese balls are not so internationally used.

Garrison · Sep 30, 2018

Nittaku and the new DHS ones are probably the most common.

chintanmashroo · Oct 1, 2018

Sanwei ABS Pro are the best

All amateur tournaments I’ve been here in Japan it’s Nittaku 3 stars. And most like 95% I see of people train with that as well

Nittaku Premium, or Nittaku Sha?

puja joshi · Oct 10, 2018

I think butterfly 40mm three star are very good balls. They are durable and last for a long time.

ttmonster · Oct 11, 2018

They become very shiny very quick .. nittaku three stars are the best out there ... a few others like DHS ABS comes close but it ends there ...

USATT balls for events is either Nittaku, Butterfly or the Joola ball. But around here most people play the Nittaku ball because that's what's most common in tournaments.

Our club uses the DHS D40+ ball. It's more affordable and I think it's vastly superior to the Nittaku ball. I honestly don't really like the Nittaku ball. It's hard as a rock compared to the DHS ball, which is softer with slightly more flex. I've seen the Nittaku ball crack from a bounce off the floor into the wall. It simply doesn't give. It cracks.

Furthermore, because of the slight flex & dwell, I'm convinced the DHS ball spins ever so slightly more.

But I know there are others at club who disagree. Ask 10 different people on this subject and you'll get 10 different opinions.
