Hitting a ball on a hard surface

Equipment

Joseph Pak Asked 8 years ago

Does hitting a ball that on a surface that isn't a ping pong table damage the ball?

Alois Rosario Answered 8 years ago

Hi Joseph,

It can damage the ball especially if the surface is hard like concrete or bricks. The ball will break easily.

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.

I assume that is one of the new plastic balls. How would the celluloid balls compare ?

Thanks...........Les

I play outside on stone tables and use the same balls now for a long time and no one ever broke. They are celluloid DHS Double Circle balls. I just looked at the Table Tennis Database and they have the best rating for durabilty of all celluloid balls.
