Hi Ronald,
If you step on the ball in a tournament they will just use a new ball. There is no penalty.
If the ball is slightly dented you can put it in boiling water. This will make it almost round again. It is not perfect but it is usable.
If the ball is broken, as in it has a crack in it then you can't fix it.

When choosing a net look for one with a good clamp, an adjustable height mechanism, and a way to tension the net.

Now this is what I really love about Pingskills: on top of all the great advice and video lessons on how to play the game, little tips like popping a crushed ball into boiling water and, bingo, I get to save a small fortune on all the training balls I step on when practising against my robot!
Thanks, guys. :)

Hi Alois,
I train with Butterfly youth and Tibhar basic balls.
In addition to training in the club I also practice at home.The balls break very
fast(a week maximum).Is it becuse the drills i play at home?(hitting the ball
again and again towards the wall and your video practicing at home)
Another question is what ball companies are worth the purchase,and
which balls in those companies?
the best wishes,
Daniel

about the dented ball, my friend ever said to me to put it in the boiled water. it's work on the 1 star ball but not in the 3 stars ball... (i use the boiled water and pour it on the ball) so, where's the boiled water must be place on the ball ? in the dented place or all around ? or what i do is probably wrong ? if i wrong, please tell me the right way (maybe sink the ball to the boiled water ? etc) if i right, then why it still dented ?
please for the answer :D
thank you ^^
