It appears that many clubs are buying up a good supply of the old type balls before they go out of production.. However, is it definate that the old type can still be used as no one seems to know. I was thinking of stockpilling the old type but if they are banned it would be a waste if money.

Balls wont be banned anytime soon, it is just that ITTF plans to use the newer balls for pro matches.
Of course just about every Natl Assn blindly follows ITTF and copy/pastes the ITTF rules and spec into their natl rules and specs, so who knows???

I think too many people are freaking out.
What is said above is true - it will take time for the national bodies to impliment the change.
The change is top down. One day, it will all change.
You should ask yourself, 40mm ball change - how long did that take in your country?
Regarding - old type can still be used - no one say you can't use it.
Unless you intend on playing world tours, world championships etc, are you?

The celluloid balls will still be quite legal and available. It will be up to each tournament promoter/local league as to when and where they use the poly balls. Unlike the 38mm balls for which production ceased.
More than likely each national association will recommend usage of he poly ball only.

In SA, our season will be "half way" through, so more likely any new implementations will only start for the next season (Apr - 2015).
That is the quickest.
If any delays happens, it could even be Apr - 2016.
