Hi Omer,

Take a look at our video in our Equipment Lessons on Choosing a Ball. This will help you to make a decision.

Here is an extract from the rules on the Ball.

2.03.02	The ball shall weigh 2.7g.

The thickness of a table tennis table is the most important aspect of a table to ensure you get a true consistent bounce. Other things to consider are the net, portability, and storage space.

is it must 2.7g perfectly ?

what i mean is, the ball with 2.73g can't be used ? as there're some of them (DHS)

There is a bit of variation of weight. The lighter balls tend to be put as 1 and 2 star balls.
