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.

Make sure you buy a table tennis bat that is suitable for your level and allows you to develop your technique. For your first bat we recommend the PingSkills Rook, and when you upgrade to a custom bat we recommend the PingSkills Touch with Mark V or Rakza 7.

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.
