Choosing Table Tennis Balls

Alex Horscroft Asked 14 years ago

like anybody who enjoys table tennis, i need to practice, in order to do this i need table tennis balls, there are so many out there, and i constantly lose mine, i have a variety of 3 star balls including 1 donic, 3 nittaku, 1 double fish, and 3 dunlop. I have limited facilities, so sometimes i have to play outside, and sometimes i can play inside. Preferably i would like 50-150 decent balls, similar to butterfly training balls. Although i want some top quality balls to use at the sports centre, i heard butterfly 3 star were the best of the best, but i don't have the money to try every brand. Can you assist me? and also, any suggestions to where i could buy these?

cheers

Hi Alex,

There are a lot of options with Table Tennis Balls.  I think the best balls are Nittaku 3 star.  If you are looking for a lot of balls to do training with then the Yasaka Training Balls are good enough.  They are cost effective if you are looking at buying a lot of balls.

Try a local supplier for balls as they are difficult to transport.
