I assume they are only available in chinese market, at least for now.
I am not sure if I will be willing to splurge on these balls. If they are just marginally better than DJ40+, which is standard tournament balls, I see no reason to buy them.
Double checked the cost and they are 1.5x the price of DJ40+.
Probably will be seeing them replacing DJ in coming years.
Also here is whole series of new balls.
From chatgpt translation:
Table Tennis RS40+ (New)
Used in WTT tournaments from 2025 to 2028
Product Description (below Liu Shiwen’s name):
• Main material is PCR recycled plastic
• High-precision table tennis performance
• Approved by ITTF as official tournament ball

Plastic recycling - Wikipedia
Just for economic reasons, tonnes of DJ competition balls used only once can be now recycled into RS balls. Meaningful idea, indeed.

yeah, very good for boosted rubbersPlastic recycling - Wikipedia

The density of different plastics is: celluloid ~1.4 g/cm3, ABS ~1.1, PCR (recycled PET) ~ 1.4. There is little hope that the new balls will behave like the old celluloid ones. ;-)
PCR just means Post Consumer Recycled, it does not imply anything about formulation or density. You could have PCR ABS, PCR PET, PCR PP, etc..
Just estimate how much PET and ABS are in the processed raw materials, I think the ratio is about 100 to 1.

Are they currently using DHS RS40+ at WTT Contender Taiyuan 2025? If they are not when will they start using DHS RS40+?
