Table tennis balls made from the innovative ABS material have become increasingly popular among players of all skill levels.
The Butterfly S40+ is a product of our continuous development and rich experience in manufacturing competition balls from ABS material in Germany, leading to a marked improvement in playing characteristics.
The S40+ features a rougher surface which makes it easier to impart spin on the ball while the increased friction will also result in a lower bounce during topspin play and a more discrete sound. The even roundness and hardness result in a reliable bounce and high durability.
Feels quite different from a normal G40+ ball, with which I used to play before but quite similar to Nittaku 3*. Most of them are round and they are quite fast although the durability is very bad. The paint wears of very quickly and is very easily broken, for example by smashing into the wall. Overall, I recommend using Nittaku balls or butterfly g40+ for now until this gets some improvement.
Would've been fantastic, if they didn't break like eggshells. They're fast as hell, they bounce beautifully, and they spin as much as possible for non-cell balls. But again, they break so easily that it's unbelievable. I once opened a 3 pack and literally broke all of them during regular training rallying (pro level play). There was no hitting walls, or edges of the table, or edges of the the racket. Just normal rallying back and forth broke all 3 of them in 20 minutes. And it's too bad because they play the best for the highest level of play, in my opinion.
