These balls suck so badly they're not even U.S.A.T.T approved. Also the image of the product doesn't even look like the image shown on the web..

Considero que este producto con la imágen de una bola Butterfly original es un engaño para los clientes y usuarios de Amazon y deja en entre dicho el buen nombre de Amazón. En cuanto a la calidad de las bolas, es muy mala pues son muy livianas y parecen huevos, es decir nada redondas. Yo creo que el costo de 28 dólares por 72 de estas bolas es muy alto. Un costo de 28 dólares por 144 bolas sería más justo y apropiado. Yo vivo en Bogota-Colombia, fuí jugador activo de la selección de Tenis de Mesa de Bogotá por muchos años y por tanto aseguro que mi opinión acerca de las bolas es correcta. De otra parte, dado lo alejado de mi ubicación consideré poco viable devolver el producto, teniendo en cuenta el costo del producto vs. el costo de la devoluión. En resúmen, mi sugerencia es que este producto debería ser retirado de la oferta de Amazon, con el objeto de proteger su buen nombre y proteger también a sus usuarios de ser víctimas de un engaño al comprar un producto que no corresponde con la imágen que se publica y lo peor, de comprar un producto de muy mala calidad. IN ENGLISH: I think this product with the image of an original Butterfly ball is a hoax for customers and users of Amazon and VERY BAD FOR the good name of Amazon. As regards the quality of the balls, is very bad as they are very light and seem to eggs, i.e. ARE NOT ROUND. I believe that the cost of $ 28 per 72 of these balls is very high. A cost of $ 28 on 144 balls would be fairer and more appropriate. I live in Bogota-Colombia, went active selection of Bogotá table tennis player for many years, and therefore assure you that my view of the balls is correct. On the other hand, as far from my location I considered impractical to return the product, taking into account the cost product vs. the cost of the devolutión. In summary, my suggestion is that this product should be withdrawn from Amazon for protect its good name and also protect your users from being victims of deception to buy a product that does not correspond with the image being published and the worst, buy a product of very poor quality supply.

Since you are looking at an item that contains 72 balls, I am going to assume you are a serious player who wants to improve your game and intend to use these balls for multi-ball drill or for tournament/league play. I would strongly advise you to stay away from this item. Here are the reasons why: 1. These are not ITTF approved as the original Butterfly balls are. The label says USATT approved, which does not translate to quality. 2. I found each ball are off different weights. 3. Many of them are so unbalanced because of the seam and uneven weight distribution of the two parts. If side spin is applied, the ball will display a vibrating motion as it would if one side is heavier than the other. I seriously doubt that this is a genuine Butterfly product. My guess is that MK(Martin Kilpatrick) is branding these balls as butterfly and selling it for cheap price. I have been using butterfly balls for a long time and never ever I have seen such low quality.

Great buy light weight even bounce...should last for around 10 hrs each ball based on my first few, much lighter and less bouncy than the ITTF balls but for a practice ball can't complain and I am an intermediate level medallist here at Singapore. These balls a great buy even for Asian/costs and standards...

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3D0LZ78Z5D5TE I have to make a response this time!!! This is actually my first time to "write" review for Amazon.com. Please excuse my English and everything else. I want to let everyone knows what product they're actually buying. ONE THING THAT MAY NOT MAKE SENSE IN THE VIDEO IS THAT: I said I returned them immediately after I received them, and I am actually showing the balls on the video because after I returned them, my club needed ping pong balls right away and the price went down to $24.99 so I bought another one immediately. (and same thing happened). Is it leagal to have the product different than advertised??? My conclusion for this product is that "it's your money, to me, I won't buy them again" So make your decision, and good luck (you can return them to amazon anyways, but again, I won't do it) Welcome to comment on anything, or ask more about this product (I will receive e-mail when customers comment on the review).
