Hi Coach,

I saw in google search that the table tennis balls will be changed after 2012 london olympics. They are proposing to introduce non celluloid balls. Will the ball size remain same? Kindly shed some light on it?

Hi Shaji,

Yes they are going to change the balls but there won't be a lot of difference in size.  I think with these sorts of things we should just wait and see what they come up with.  I am sure if the first try isn't perfect they will keep working on it to get it right.
