I will believe thin seam ones are real when someone receives them from a vendor like TT11.
Update: In a thread at MyTT we learn that one guy bought D40+ made in July of 2017 at a shop in Beijing that had thick seams and play well. Another guy got D40+ from ttnpp, also stamped July 2017, but with thin seams and they don't play well (actually play like old DHS 40+).
We still have three possibilities.
1. D40+ balls from ttnpp at the moment are fake.
2. DHS changed the process of making the balls at some point in July, and managed to make the new balls worse (at the same time they made the seams thin.
3. DHS now has two factories making D40+ balls that have different properties.
not sure yet which it is, but we will know soon if people keep reporting what they get.
Sorry but that’s just nonsense. I did buy from them in spring and got great D40+ balls (just one package) and now I bought more and I posted proof that they are not identical, just check the pictures.
Edit: it could be that I received a bad batch. I will open another package later and play with them.
Old dhs 40+ definitely had a seam.The old 40+ was seamless .. no comparison .. compare the thin seam 40+ with the stamp .. to a Nittaku Premium 40+ thin seam .. See if they match ..
I can imagine that in a chinese factory someone wants to earn more money, so he started to use the old 40+ factory lines too, but he stamps the balls with the the new machines. It's definitely not TTNP's fault.
