Review of Butterfly 3-StarAn average 3-star ball. A bit pricy. I wonder why Butterfly doesn't make better balls?
Sometimes I also wonder about their quality control.
Last 3-pack I bought the other day was really disappointing. none of them where round!!! That was the second time it happened in 6 months. It was not from the same batch, I checked. Note: I always buy my tabletennis balls from respected dealers.

Review of DHS AthensI like these a lot. They're softer than the Nittaku premium and the best of the bunch the TSP. The Yasaka 3-star and this one are up there with the best in my opinion. A good ball with an average to long life span. Really great for the price. I don't know why they're cheaper than most other 3-star balls, but I'm not complaining! Great value for your money.

Review of Donic 3-StarFeels heavy at times, not as lively to play with as a DHS 3-star. Still a good ball. Pricy in Sweden, cheap in Germany.

Review of Double Fish Super 40Quite soft but a nice trainingball for normal practice. It's got a good even bounce. To soft for match play.

Review of Friendship/729 Super 3-StarThese balls are really hard, round and fun to play with (white version). I got them a couple of days ago so I can't really say anything about their durability. So far, a quality ball.

Review of Killerspin Champion 3-StarTo soft and not worth the price. You can get better balls. I prefer TSP and Yasaka training balls before this one...or have I got balls from a really bad batch?

Review of Nittaku 3-Star PremiumThis is an excellent ball. It's not as hard as the normal Nittaku 3-star but it last longer.
It's overpriced so I prefer to buy other quality balls instead. I wish they would make balls as good as the 38mm balls were. They were practically indestructible...

Review of Nittaku 3-StarI like to play with this ball It's consistent to play with but there is a big downside. It crack quite easily. It's to expensive. For the price you pay you could expect better durability

Review of Stag 3-starI wonder if this is the same ball as the Butterfly 3-star? The look, feel and behaviour is the same but the cost is lower. So if i should choose between the two, my answer is Stag 3-star. Personally I don´t rate the Butterly 3-star that high. I prefer TSP 3-star, it is superior to all other balls I've used.

Review of Stiga Optimum 3-StarThis ball is one of the top-5. It´s hard and durable. It´s not cheap but you get what you pay for. Theses balls reminds me of the old 38mm balls and that's not a bad thing!

Review of Stiga Competition 3-starI'm a little disappointed with these balls. They're good to play with consistent, but they tend to loose their "new ball" feeling very quickly. There are better alternatives for less money. The DHS 3-star for instance.

Review of TSP 3-StarThese balls - (TSP 3-star white) are the best 40mm balls I've used. They are very durable, have perfect roundness and the surface last a long time,which means that it behaves very consistent. This is a great flawless product.
