TTD have reviewed new ITTF Approved ball

Dan · Jun 8, 2014

Hey everyone,

Today me and TableTennisDaily player @Tom tested Stiga's ITTF approved plastic ball.

Stay tuned for the review which will look at various playing characteristics of the new ball, coming soon!

Is there anything you want us to include in the review about the ball?

looking forward to this.

Would like to know the effects of rubbers like the tenergys compared to those developed for the new ball eg Airoc.Whats the difference,more/less spin etc(which im sure already is included)

thanks.

Yes, please comment on how it is away from table, how it bounces, sounds, feels, how thick it really is, and how spin/speed from different strokes are different from 40mm celluloid ball. Do include a test match if U is a willing.

those airoc tshirts look good

Looking forward to it!
I think it better to have a short summery at the end and say how much it will probably take to adjust to it.

How about chopping and looping chops? Thanks

Just regulair strokes like forehand and backhand counterhit and topspin, blocking, short play and flicks, countertopspinning...

Also if the rumors are true; that the bal dips faster, has less spin and that it bounces higher.

And a roundness test. Ive watched 2 reviews of the new ball, one from Henzell and one from Pingskills and they said that the ball was not round enough.

How the ball kicks on the bounce on the table.

If you can get a backspin serve to go back to the net.

Woah! Boy do you have good connections

Tinykin · Jun 9, 2014

Not really. I've been lucky enough to know Dan from when he was a wee teenager in the halcyon days when London Progress was the biggest and most successful club in the UK

When is the new ball hitting the market?

Phil · Jun 9, 2014

Is the TT ball still supposed to be coming in for the 2014-15 season? I was informed that it's definitely not being used in British League next year.

I think the answer to that is "it depends which brand you want." If you Google "Tibhar Syntt" or "Joola Super-p" it appear that German balls will be available next week (in Germany) and next month (in the UK) - however I can find no word yet on when Stiga's or Nittaku's offerings will be available, or DHS / Double Fish for that matter. If you really want some NOW then it appears that you can buy XuShaoFa poly balls from contra.de immediately - I believe these are the seamless ones, although my memory is very likely playing tricks on me there.

Phil · Jun 9, 2014

I think they'll delay bringing it in for another season, haven't heard anything from the ITTF for ages.
