Does hitting a ball that on a surface that isn't a ping pong table damage the ball?

Hi Joseph,
It can damage the ball especially if the surface is hard like concrete or bricks. The ball will break easily.

I assume that is one of the new plastic balls. How would the celluloid balls compare ?
Thanks...........Les

I play outside on stone tables and use the same balls now for a long time and no one ever broke. They are celluloid DHS Double Circle balls. I just looked at the Table Tennis Database and they have the best rating for durabilty of all celluloid balls.
