I cannot actually remember the last time I've broken a Nittaku or DHS ball, it was last year sometime. Even the DHS 1* training balls are better than these Loki ones you bought and the DHS 1* are only ~€4 for 10.

Good info all the same, thanks for update and the review

I often use them against the wall so that probably makes them break faster.

ligma incoming!

I have them. I like them. To me they're all the same when they're ABS whether they're yinhe, komann, or now loki. I've carried them all and I can't tell a difference.

The new gambler balls have switched to seamless (maybe 6mo ago) and hence to what they're calling a blend of abs and poly I think. Anyway they're worth a try. I thought they would be the same but I'm thinking they're a little different and I like them. Differences are subtle.

they're not on the ITTF authorized list, tho. Only the LJK 40***

Your website has pictures of the ITTF approved P40+ ball which is a seamed ball that I have bought lots of. The Gambler website currently only sells these P40+ balls and has the same description it has had for years:

"Gambler has made the change to our own punch out manufacturing process; this is the 2 part construction that is used in nearly every professional event worldwide. While our previous seamless design was good, nearly all national and international events use the 2 part ball"

The orange ball also has the same wording.

I just got some P40+ last week from megaspin, same seamed ball.

Gambler used to resell the XSF seamless ball under their name, it was not an ITTF approved ball, but did have usatt approval. It had a different logo than the P40+. I still have a few of these. Gambler website hasn't sold these in years.

Is there a new Gambler seamless ball with new logo?

 

[Colestt]

That is not the same description. Until a few months ago gambler used seamless. The box and stamp didnt change but the orange big box did

 

[Colestt]

They ran out for a long time then came back with seamed.
