Hey pingskills

how do I know if my ball is cracked? I've held it up to a bright lamp light and can see some lines/creases on it and when I press on that area it's softer than the other parts with it. I don't know what a cracked ball sounds like so I can't easily tell the difference. The balls I use is DHS 3 star poly balls.

thanks a lot, you guys have taught me heaps about this awesome sport.

Hi Bryan,

The ball does make a slightly sharper sound.  It is something that you will start to recognise after a while.

If it is not bothering you then continue to play with the ball until you notice something.

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.
