Hi,
Which is the best ball to play?
Alois Rosario Answered 11 years ago
Hi Prahadhesh,
With the Celluloid balls I think the best was the Nittaku. With the new Plastic balls I am not sure.
Anyone who is using the new balls may want to give their opinions on what they have used and how good they are.

Choosing a Table Tennis Bat
Make sure you buy a table tennis bat that is suitable for your level and allows you to develop your technique. For your first bat we recommend the PingSkills Rook, and when you upgrade to a custom bat we recommend the PingSkills Touch with Mark V or Rakza 7.

Hi Alois,
I also have some questions about ping pong balls :
1. Actually what is the legal size of ping pong balls ? I'm confused since i found ball with 40 and 40+ size in the markets.
2. Are celluloid ball still being used in major tournament right now ?
Thanks
Hi Ernest,
The balls that are labelled 40+ are the new Plastic balls. They are still supposed to be 40mm in diameter.
International tournaments are now using Plastic balls. A lot of local tournaments are still using the Celluloid balls.

Hello,
I am curious to about the size. Almost all the new plastic balls are 40+.
Maybe they aren't that perfect and one ball can be a little bigger or smaller than an other one.
