Why can't they remove the dust from new balls?

The tables are a big factor nowadays. You can’t judge a ball without talking about the table surface.
There are slow (grippy) and fast (slick) tables. On slow tables the 3S (= D40+) is shit. On fast (slick) tables it’s good.

The moment we play with andro, our gameplay goes to shit. Right on the spot we play 100-300 TTR points lower. It just hurts the game.

I have to agree 100%.
Whenever I see I have to play with the andro 3s Balls I just know its going to be painful and annoying to deal with
The way they arc, generate spin, fly over the table and respond is just so weird, unpredictable and simply bad.
Even my cheap 18 cents training balls are better.
All in my opinion.
But they also have that dust on them and feel a bit greasy.
I wasnt fortunate enough to play with DHS 3 star balls yet.
Next up are Sanwei TR balls for my training purposes.

That process looks like from the 60's or 70's with a lot of manual labor. Automation today should be much much faster and precise. I'm shocked at how much handing is still being done on mass produced items.

The modern way is to use rotomolding.

Do you think that "dust" doesn't go everywhere?
The "dust" is really the plastic.

So they can clean up the plastic dust.
