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. |

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!

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.

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)
Yes they are good to use.
