Ball Change
Discussion
Sourav Mehra Asked 13 years ago
Is it true that Table Tennis balls would be changed after the Olympics? And if is so,then why? Aren't celluloid balls good any more?

Hi Sourav,
Yes they are talking about changing the composition of the ball to go away from celluloid.
I haven't really kept up with the discussion on it. i am sure some of our readers are up with it though.

Do you have any more information on the timeline? I see 2013 as being when the change will be in effect to the POLY balls.
I also believe this will have a SIGNIFICANT in the current equipment.
ITTF said they are "hoping" to get the ball to play 95% similar to the current balls and that it will still be 40mm.
I was hoping that you would have more insight on this change.
