Why shouldn't the ball have a seam?

Alois Rosario Answered 13 years ago

Hi Varun,

They are lower in quality and will not bounce as consistently. They are often a softer ball using less material to form the ball.

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 the seam useful for us?

Alois Rosario from PingSkills Posted 12 years ago
No, it just makes for an uneven bounce which is not what we are looking for.
