Review of Butterfly 3-StarI like these balls very much. However the value for your dollar isn't that great. If you love these balls. Go get some genuine DHS Athens balls. The performance between these two balls is a push. Their probably made in the same factory. The cost puts the DHS Athens balls over the top.Mar 19, 2011 | |||||||||||||||

Review of Champion Professional 3-StarBad news first on these balls. You will find more out of round, or wobbly balls than in most makes of balls. These balls don't play super fast. These balls have some major positives though. These balls take a long time to glass over. They keep that new ball texture for a really long time, longer than any other balls I can recall. I still haven't broken one yet so out of 24 balls playing a few times a week for a couple weeks now to have no breaks is pretty amazing, and none of them are really even glassy yet. I gave these balls a pretty high rating despite at least 5 out of round balls out of 24. The 19 good balls I have are just great.Edit: These balls do last a fair amount of time, and they do keep from glassing over till they break. Jul 18, 2011 | |||||||||||||||

DHS Athens

Review of DHS AthensThese are my ball of choice for best value on the market thus far. They play quick. They don't glass up as quickly as some other brands. When they do glass up they break soon after that which is good in my book. I can always tell when I'm hitting this instead of a Nittaku Premium but I can't tell these from the Butterflies. The one good thing about these balls is that Nittaku Premium ball snobs that only play Nittaku Premiums will usually play these without complaining too much.Mar 19, 2011 | |||||||||||||||

Review of Double Fish 3-StarThese are heavy, and hard like Nittaku Premiums. They aren't as lively or as easy to manipulate spinwise, but nevertheless a solid value for your money. I still prefer the DHS Athens balls but you can deffinitely make a case for these balls because of their durability.Mar 19, 2011 | |||||||||||||||

Killerspin Champion 3-Star

Review of Killerspin Champion 3-StarThese are my least favorite balls on the market to play, and are by far the worst value for your dollar of all balls. We get these balls leftover from local collegiate tournaments and they litterally lose their grip and turn glassy in less than a half hour of play. Their durability as far as breaking I really don't know. All I know is after they turn to glass I can't stand to play them anymore.Mar 19, 2011 | |||||||||||||||
