French League says no to the poly balls!
National Federations can decide when to implement the new plastic balls. The French Table Tennis Federation analysed the implementation of the new ball and decided not to implement it, at least in the next season of the French League. So the French League will be played with the celluloid ball.
The French Federation officially announced the reasons of its decision on its web site:
· It is thought that manufacturers won't have enough supply on time (at least not until summer when players are in the pre-season) DHS informed that they haven't started the mass production, while Xushaofa informed that they have enough stock, but its ball won't be used in the 2014 and 2015 ITTF World Tour Circuit.
· The world production isn't ready yet.
· There is no enough stock currently, so no enough balls to train
· There is no information from manufacturers
· Celluloid balls will continue to be manufactured
· Clubs still have large stock of celluloid balls
French Federation's report also mentioned the situation in Germany. The Germany Federation recommends that the Bundesliga, second and third division implement the new ball, while people in charge of other divisions can decide if they implement or not the poly ball.
I can't understand it. I'm not sure about when poly balls will be available to public but i guess it will be soon. New balls will be available in some countries this May but DHS said they haven't started mass production until now. Maybe those balls will be produced by other manufacturers.
Also CTTSL will not use new balls for this season. Probably they have the same reasons of French League to do this.
Anyway, I hope new DHS balls be available soon.
