| I found these excellent for consistent bounce and longer rallies. They have got good traction and a longer life then any other table tennis ball. If you really want to improve your game, you would really prefer the Butterfly ITTF approved balls over any other 3 star balls. |
Performs well, but quality issue?

| I am a semi-avid player; I play for an hour three times a week over lunch at work with a few competitive players. I have used Butterfly 3-star balls many times before without a problem (always supplied by one of the other players). It was my turn to get some balls so I bought the six pack via amazon. So far we have used 3 of the balls (the third only being put into play this week). The first two didn't last very long. Usually each of the balls last through 3-4 weeks of play before they crack or wear thin. The first two from the ones I bought never made it a week, one only making it one day. I suppose it could be a coincidence but their longevity has been a disappointment. Perhaps they were old or mis-stored. |
These Table Tennis Balls are Excellent - well made.

| This is my second purchase of these balls... they are balanced very well and much better than the cheaper balls on the market - they hold up better, too. I highly recommend you purchase these. I recommend the orange color, as well. |
One of the best TT balls

| Excellent top quality ball (a best buy). I like these better than Joola Super 3-Star (very poor durability), Donic 3-Star Balls, and Stiga T0641 3-Star Table Tennis Balls, 6-Pack (Orange) (best of these three) being faster and more durable (and durability has become a big issue today). But, as tomthree points out - these are not as good as the even faster and more durable Nittaku Premium 3-Star Balls (the standard for players at my local tournaments). Note: TSP (hard to find anywhere), DHS Athens, and Double Fish 3-star balls (not currently available at Amazon) are also very good. Now, the Butterfly is a fairly soft ball... softer than the all of the others mentioned (and so, they don't bounce quite as well but they do allow for greater control). However, again as tomthree points out, the butterfly's are cheaper with the Nittaku Premium 6-pack normally going for $13.50 (plus shipping). Your level of play (and budget) as well as bounce and control preference will determine whether Stiga, Butterfly, or Nittaku Premiums (the harder to find TSP, DHS, and Double Fish not withstanding) are best for you; I'm currently a Butterfly player. |
Look nice, play well

| I can't say that these are definitively better than other 3-star balls, but it does add a hint of swagger among the group when I pull these babies out. Very consistent spins, orange color makes them easy to see in lightning fast rallies. I haven't played with any other brand since I bought these. Highly recommended if not only for a mental boost. |
A world of difference!

| The three star rating is easily noticed immediately! These Butterfly balls seem more durable than others I have played with, and slightly heavier. Surface texture is just right for spin control, and the seamless construction adds light years to the aerodynamics of my trick shots. I'm never going back to another ball again! |

| MY BALLS WORK REAL WELL, THEY ARE DEFINATELY BETTER THAN ANY OTHER BALLS BECAUSE THEY ARE FASTER AND FEEL LESS FRAGILE AND ARE PROFESSIONAL. I DON'T KNOW, ARE THERE BETTER BALLS THAN MY BALLS? |
