Hi,

Can you please explain what effect the temperature of the room has on the table tennis ball when being used ?

Thanks

Hi Robert,

The room temperature will have a small effect on the ball, but the bigger effect is on the rubber.  The warmer temperatures mean that th erubber will have more bounce in them and conversely when it is cold the rubbers will be slower.
