These are the preferred ball at my club, and I never understood why until I used these and then tried other cheaper brands. These have the most consistent play (along with the new Nexcel balls) and are worth the premium price if you are playing in a serious league. The only downside is how powdery they are.

Very light and very "grabby" when new. Use only for 5 or 6 games so that there is always maximum spin.
What an extraordinary table tennis ball...
After being a Double Fish fanboy for quite some time I've finally felt compelled (A few lemons) to go back to Nittaku.
Simply the best.

A Hard and fast ball but consistent.
Has an average life span.
Quite pricey in my country (note: I have used DHS, Double Fish, Butterfly and Andro balls). Was told one of the most expensive balls around but also one of the best to play with.

Feels lighter than the butterfly balls that I normally use, more spin as well. I personally the butterfly as they feel more solid on contact. The ones I have used have been consistent and fun to play with
I find that over the last few decades Nittaku table tennis balls have lost some of their supremacy and quality. They are still some of the best balls being made, but they are no longer the undisputed champion. They tend to lose grip sooner than before and need to be replaced more frequently. Their speed and quality is still very good.
Like DHS, the best. Because of the price difference though, I gave the DHS balls the slight edge.
Ibid all other reviews: fabulous ball all around - especially for spins and loops - and pretty darn fast, a bit expensive compared to other balls, but for training and competition TTballs are very inexpensive compared to other equipment. Durability leaves a lot to be desired (I average about 1 ball per week), but the fabulous play of the ball is worth it tome.
These balls used to be a lot better earlier. Now they break very easily within an hour or two of practice sometimes even earlier. Very very disappointed!
In my club, this is the ball of choice among almost all the players. It is also the club's competition ball. It has consistent top notch quality, perfect roundness and balance in flight, pleasant feel on impact and gives a good response to spin. Durability is average. It is expensive when compared to other brands.
These balls are a little more pricey than others, but I love the feel. These feel great, a little heavier feeling than other balls, and seem pretty consistent. Great tournament ball.
Not as white and as, and finish is smoother than Tibhar 3-Star. Ball has an excellent COR (bounce).
This ball is the default standard of all balls. I use DHS, Butterfly, Double Circle, and JOOLA (the worst), but in the end there is only one ball I want. Too bad they know how good the ball plays and they charge a ton for it. My advice is load up on a ton of different balls for your robots and home play. Practice with them all and make sure a good portion of them are Nittaku.
This is probably the best table tennis ball hands down. I personally don't buy these and stick to dhs athens due to the price however, everybody else uses these so I've been made a believer.
This is an excellent ball. It's not as hard as the normal Nittaku 3-star but it last longer.
It's overpriced so I prefer to buy other quality balls instead. I wish they would make balls as good as the 38mm balls were. They were practically indestructible...

There are cars, and there is Mercedes (prowerb). Mine is:
There are balls, and there is Nittaku. I can't afford Mercedes, but when I play table tennis, I'll always find few extra cents for THE ball....

This ball is very hard and fast. I have been playing with Double Fish & Double Happiness 3 star and I like this one better.
They are overpriced and I would not have purchased them except for the great deal I got on them.

Nittaku 3-star premium is slightly harder than Butterfly 3-star, but way too expensive in today's market. I stop buying them due to their absurb price and good availability in the market. I found them to be inconsistent in roundness as well, it is not uncommon to find out of round Nittaku ball. But the good ones clearly have an edge over their competitors with solid ball feel (especially during heavy loop).
This is the only ball to play with, does everything constantly well whatever rubbers you use! When most people regularly spend £70 (about 150 dollars ) on a couple of rubbers , why moan about pennies on the price of the ball, its just as important to get consistancy from the thing your hitting as well as the frame set up. Rant over!
Great ball. Top 3 for sure. Too expensive to play with all the time, but great for use tournament play or tournament training.
Great Ball! They are the hardest you can find. Little on the pricey side, though.
Comparable to Butterfly 3-star balls but just WAAAAAAAAY TOO EXPENSIVE. They're great balls, but I wouldn't buy them. Butterfly 3-star balls are still expensive but not like these. Butterflies are better, too, I think. The price is the one thing that really ruins this ball... sadly.
A reference for other balls, pretty hard and consistent, but has an average life span, low compared to its price. One of the most expensive but also one of the best to play with.
