Hi Omer,
Take a look at our video in our Equipment Lessons on Choosing a Ball. This will help you to make a decision.
Here is an extract from the rules on the Ball.
| 2.03 | THE BALL |
| 2.03.01 | The ball shall be spherical, with a diameter of 40mm. |
| 2.03.02 | The ball shall weigh 2.7g. |
| 2.03.03 | The ball shall be made of celluloid or similar plastics material and shall be white or orange, and matt. |

is it must 2.7g perfectly ?
what i mean is, the ball with 2.73g can't be used ? as there're some of them (DHS)

There is a bit of variation of weight. The lighter balls tend to be put as 1 and 2 star balls.
DHS Lover Posted 10 years ago
so i found that DHS 3-stars ball is 2.73g and Stiga copetition ball is 2.76g
is it still good to use and good for a competition ball ? as it's not perfect (2.7g)
Alois Rosario from PingSkills Posted 10 years ago
Yes they are good to use.
