Hi guys, is there any advantage to practicing with 38 mm balls? Our HOA where I play bought a bunch not knowing. Or will it really mess you up?

Hi Mark,

I don't think there is any real advantage in training with the smaller ball.  I think because Table Tennis is so specific with its skills you should practice with the appropriate equipment mainly.

As a novelty or to increase awareness you could train with them sometimes but only on an odd occasion.
