Yes although there are many different brands they are all essentially the same ball with a different stamp on them. Would be fascinating to know how they are manufactured?

I don't know if Minkow actually MAKES these balls. They certainly are (or were) selling them under their Kingnik brand. All their old equipment was for making seamed balls, and I'm pretty sure they are STILL using it, most lately to make those DSH D40+ ABS balls. If you watch the DHS video the factory looks suspiciously like the Minkow one, and Minkow has been OEM'ing DHS balls since the celluloid days. (They also OEMed all those European branded balls - Stiga, Donic, Tibhar, etc.).

KingNik! :-P And HuiChuan :-P ! The Plastic balls bounce like crap :-( and many duds :-(

I got the best results with following,

Seamless balls,
Stag 3* 40+
XuShaFa 40+
Yinhe 3* ( blue stars ) 40+
Yinhe 3* (red stars) 40+
Sanwei 3* 40+ ( I am not sure ... is it seam or seamless ? Silver-white box )

Seam ball,
Stag Supreme 40+
DHS D40+
Nittaku Premium 40+
Stag Premium 40+ ( recent release ... WORST OFFENDER! )

All the seamless balls are the same. One of those Yinhes is actually seamed. Sanwei also sells both kinds, the seamless ones are in a white box.
