Hi guys! Someone tried DHS Tin Arc 5 Mid Hard or Tin Arc 5 Soft? Or some of Tin Arc Series? I use Tenergy 05 on forehand, but I feel that I lost some spin on loops and on services(my strong point!!) after the change of the ball! With poly ball, I've adopted a more close-to-the-table game, so...

I was looking at getting some poly training balls.Ive looked at Joola Pactice -P 40+, has anyone used these? In general I was wonderng what a good and cheap training ball would be recommended?

Hey all, Below is my latest review with Tom looking at the highly anticipated Butterfly G40+ Plastic Ball. This is the 3 star version to the Easy Ball and made in Germany and not China like many other plastic balls. I think the ball plays nice and clean and feels hard. Find out more in the...

Here is the case: People around me always say that Nittaku 40+ Premium is a good plastic ball, hence I gave it a try. After 2 hours of stroke and matches, I lose a vital point when the opponent hit and 'splatted' the ball to my side of the table. So my journey to find other better platic ball...

So I ran into this problem where I left my tt bag in my car out in the texas sun, and my xushaofa 3 star seamless ball warped under pressure. I was able to restore it nearly completely by immersing it in hot hot hot water under a minute or so (not too long). After fishing it out of my hot water...

Hi all Does anyone else wrap their rubbers in cling film as opposed to so-called rubber protectors? Much better protection in my opinion Andy

Coach Prause has his say on the plastic ball

Hi, I'm just looking at ordering some 40➕ Plastics, I have played the BTY and its a big no for me, ( see my review in balls section) I have also played the DHS which I find quite comfortable, nothing special but then again did nothing particularly wrong, apart from being a little slower than a...

As mentioned in my recent topic, some Chinese National Team players have changed their backhand rubber to cope with the new plastic ball. This means players such as Ma Long and Xu Xin are not using Tenergy 05 on the backhand. Could this lead to more European players moving to more Chinese type...

So pretty much everyone has tried the new plastic ball now with many associations having to implement the new ball this July. What are your thoughts? Do you prefer playing with the new ball? Do you think the sport is more attractive with the new ball? Looking forward to your discussions.

Hello! I have been researching about the new Palio balls and stumbled across these weird and new Palio balls. I have all three of them but can't seem to see the slight(or extensive) changes between them. I was just curious and I want to extend my ball(plastic) collection. 2**+? WHAT IS THE...

Here is a link to TTE's updated plastic ball statement: http://tabletennisengland.co.uk/news/plastic-balls-updated-statement-from-table-tennis-england/ It looks like they are pushing ahead with a date of 1st July 2015 to enforce the adoption of the plastic ball for all "Competitive" TT in...

For those players who's club has changed to plastic balls, which brand ball have you changed to? I believe none of our local clubs have made a decision yet, but I'm most interested to hear what other clubs have chosen. :)

So many new rubbers because of the new ball and professionals do not change anything, it is quite doubtful this type of marketing....

The other day during when we were training, one of the players was off to the Junior national championships. I played her, lost 11-9 but irritate it took me so long to start attacking but overall played well. At about 5-6 we lost the ball I brought back another but she wouldn't play with that...

I'm going to re-post this article here. As a relatively new player it annoys me that along with all of the new expenses of trying out blades/rubbers and equipment I now have to deal with what looks like a cash money grab under the veil of false excuses...

This could be quite an interesting break down. Looking forward to seeing the data.

Hi, I have been thinking recently. Is Timo boll struggling with the new plastic ball? Could his recent losses to Marcos Freitas and Hugo Calderano be caused because of the plastic ball... I am sure Timo never had problems with such players in the passed, and he seems out classed in both games...
