[Hurricane]

What good brands of balls can you find on AliExpress? Let me know!

DHS 3 star is really reliable and cheap. Sanwei, Yinhe are good too.

You can find everything on Ali, the best brands and the cheapest too. However just because the Butterfly logo is printed on a ball and "made in Japan", does not mean you will get these balls.
Also I think it is true that a top player needs top quality balls and even then they will have to test them and will pick the best and eliminate some, even from

on the other end I use these, but then I really do suck at table tennis :

I also recommend the DHS and the YINHE 3*** balls. I bought ~20 of each last year and still have loads of them left. They play well and don't break too easily.

What do you think about the Double fish and Sanwei? Have you tried them?

Hi
I haven't bought either of those.
One of our club guys bought the Sanweis and he reckons they're good.
Whenever we play I'll swap it for one of my DHS when he's not looking but that's only snobbery and joking on my part cos when he changes it back I can't tell the difference!
I can't comment on how long the Sanwei last but I can tell you that one of my DHS 3* balls that was pocketed by another club member 4-5 wks ago is still going strong, he shows it to me and says thanks every week 😂

Don't get the very cheap double fish 3* balls in bulk without box (usually sold in 30/50/100/120), I tried them and I think they are rejected balls due to poor QC. On the other hand, the WTT versions are very good, on par with DHS WTT in my opinion.

Sanwei 3* are about as good as Yinhe 3*. Sanwei 1* is my favourite multi-ball.

i respect your opinion but would like to add that on a resent WTT event , where DF balls were used , a lot of the pros were not happy with the balls.

Of course of course, it is horses for courses. 😂

To prove that the top players in my club are
"ball snobs", that insist on top quality balls, I measured and tested the good DHS dj40+ -,
STAG 40+ seamless3 stars balls and compared them with the cheap Hueison 3 star training balls.
I weighed them on a triple beam scale , measured them with digital calipers and performed the rotational tests and they all were the same. Same weight, same diameter and the same wobbles when spun.
But when i produced the results and offered to sponsor the club with with the Hueison balls, the snobs refused . Of course they did
😂😂😂

Possibly the difference is in durability/resistence, idk

The Hueison, Sanwei, and Double Fish 3 star training balls all feel the same to me (they are all very popular in Vietnam for multiball) I wouldn't be surprised if the balls were exactly the same except for branding.

I think they are fine to play with too but people here still want to use like a year old Nittaku ball that is smoother than glass.

It's possible because they are all Chinese. They have a habit of sharing/copy products. Good old "white label" too

when I had my tennirobo, I shot my 200 Hueison balls through that machine thousands of times and of course whacked them back . I still got most of them and use them for serving practice.

That was good to know. I'll try them, they're really cheap!
