Product Description

The Butterfly Three Star Table Tennis Ball Six-Pack contains six of Butterfly's three-star 40-millimeter table tennis balls in either white or orange. Butterfly's three-star balls have been chosen as the official ball of the ITTF World Junior Circuit through 2007 and were the official ball of the 2004 North American Olympic Doubles Trials. USATT and ITTF approved, only the best table tennis balls are included in Butterfly's three-star packs, and are chosen for their exceptional roundness and consistency through a rigorous quality-control process.

About Butterfly

Hikosuke Tamasu founded Tamasu Co., Ltd. in the small town of Yanai City, Japan in 1950. This was the beginning of a company career which is almost unique in table tennis. A renowned international for Japan, Tamasu fulfilled his dream of a lifetime when he made his hobby his profession. At that time, he could hardly imagine that he would make Butterfly the leading brand worldwide. Creativity, durability, and a profound technical knowledge meant success. 0ver and over again he looked for new possibilities in order to optimize techniques by innovative playing material. Tamasu realized that each player is different and has strengths and weaknesses. By offering individual playing material Tamasu wanted to help players right from the beginning to emphasize their individuality. Since 1983 Butterfly has its own training and research center in Tokyo. Highly qualified scientists co-operate with world class players and coaches for the development of rubber and blade technology. Butterfly's rubbers and blades are used by more than half of the participants at World and European Championships.

Product Description

Official ball of the 2009 World Championships and the ITTF Global Junior Program through 2012. An ITTF approved 3-Star ball is the highest rating a ball can receive. Such balls are used at the Olympic Games, World Championships and other international events.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't go wrong!, September 22, 2005
This review is from: Butterfly ITTF Approved 3-Star 40mm Table Tennis Balls (6-Pack) (Sports)
All the skepticism I had about the true quality of this product went out the window very shortly after unwrapping it. The eveness of the bounce, and smooth overall feel of these balls leave similar products by Stiga in the dust. It is very rare to find a product that actually performs as advertised. I really think that I got what I paid for, and then some!

5.0 out of 5 stars durable, February 5, 2006
This review is from: Butterfly ITTF Approved 3-Star 40mm Table Tennis Balls (6-Pack) (Sports)
Perhaps all ITTF approved 3-star balls are the "same" if you use a new ball every match. But in my experience, Butterfly balls last a whole lot longer than others. Get a pack and try it for yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid, good bounce, January 29, 2008
These balls are superior to other 3-star brands I have bought locally. They are very solid, ie. strong against the slams. A very consistant bounce, and good reaction to spin. Very happy with purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clearly better...
than any of the ping pong balls at most retail outlets. They are larger and a bit heavier. Our table is outside and the game is much less wind-affected with these.
