Hi coach

its been a while.

i have seen players reacting to different brands of balls such as nittaku premium , Butterfly 3*, and the like 3* are usually used for competitions right

but i see players complaining about the ball not being the brand that they like well other than the brand all 3* balls are about the same right?

other than durability the weight is similar imo

imo there really isnt any difference from the cheapest 3* to the most expensive 1

what do you think coach?

thx coach

Hi Amekun,

I think Nittaku balls are the best out there.  They are the most reliable.  Even though some other balls are 3* they still have a lot of soft spots or are not very round.
