What is difference between plastic and celluloid ball?
Alois Rosario Answered 10 years ago
Hi Nick,
I think with the better plastic balls there isn’t much difference at all. There seems to be a little more bounce with the plastic and the ball doesn’t come through as fast but they are still in the early stages. I don’t think the difference is significant.
Take a look at PingPod #35 – The New Plastic Ball Verdict.

Tone is in Your Fingers
There's is an old saying about guitar playing - tone is in your fingers. And If you've ever seen a really good guitarist play an old guitar then you'll understand how true that saying is. I know we go on a lot about this topic but it is so true. Once you've got yourself a decent bat, it's no longer up to the equipment, it's up to YOU!

Hi, pingskillers. Some months ago I tried a plastic ball and I did not like it. It sounded and broke like a Christmas tree ball. Now they have got somewhat better and there are more choices regarding brands and qualities. But for the players in my club that rely heavily on spin it has been harder than to me that simply block and smash.
Thanks for your thoughts Eduardo.
