  1. Poly balls : which balls are "approved" by table tennis England?

    Hi all, In our local league rules it's states: "Only table tennis England approved balls shall be used" Does anyone know if such an official approval actually exists or is it literally just a reference to the ITTF equipment list? Many thanks.
  2. Allwood performance with Poly ball

    Hi all, With the poly ball, 5 plywood blades, even that not slow and too flexy, have not enough power in the poly ball era? When I'm saying this, I'm referring to blades like AVX P500, BT555, YEO for example. It's a 7 plywood era? (for people that use allwood ofc) Thanks in advance. Best...
  3. Adapting To New Ball

    Hey guys, I'd very much appreciate tips to adapt to the plastic ball. It's our first season (kind of) playing with that ball ("kind of" because clubs can still choose the type of ball in our region - so sometimes I'd play matches with plastic and sometimes with celluloid.). And honestly, it's...

  5. Celluloid VS Poly ball in short game

    I have heard from Chinese commentators that with the new Poly ball, short game becomes more difficult: it bounces higher it goes further In my experience it is quite true. With my H3 I still returned some stupid high and long ball. One solution I have heard from a Chinese training video is...
  6. Lin Gaoyan's Style and the Poly Era

    I know this is a bit of a hefty read, but please bear with me and tell me what you think! I've been watching LGY highlight reels and I've noticed something about his style. He is not a traditional hungarian style looper, even though he likely plays with traditional chinese rubbers. The other...
  7. How are the Xion and Kingnik Poly 3 stars?

    Hi everyone, I have been playing with the XuShaoFa 3 star for some time and I really like it. It's a little pricey so I was looking for a cheaper seamless 3 star. On tt11 the cheapest are the Xiom and the Kingnik. Has anyone played with them? My main concern is durability so if you know anything...
  8. New generation Poly ball enhanced rubber with similar sponge hardness to tenergy?

    Hi guys, I've been using MX-S, a poly ball enhanced rubber on my FH. It has that really grippy top sheet and I'm finding my loops are loaded with spin. However I used to use Tenergy 05 and 80. I want to find a rubber that combines the grippy topsheet like MX-S on a similar sponge hardness to...
  9. Players switching from Korbel to ZLF blades for poly ball?

    I have noticed that many pros are changing from Bty Korbel to a Bty ZLF blade to combat the poly ball's slowness. I'm thinking of doing the same. I know there was an innerforce ZLF but its no produced anymore. So out of these blades which is the most similar to the IF ZLF? Liu Shiwen blade? Ai...

  13. Why are the Nittaku 3 star premium 40+ poly balls are never in stock?

    Why are the Nittaku 3 star premium(made in japan) 40+ poly balls are never in stock? These have been introduced since last year and supposedly the best polyball out there. And why is Nittaku introducing these new 2 star premium polyballs when there are no 3 star premium to be found. Somebody...
  14. Is the new poly ball going to knock tenergy from the top players armoury?

    Whilst eventually giving in to finding a replacement to Tenergy and now using 05 f/h and 05fx b/h on an Zhang Alc blade, I noticed the superb spin capabilities and speed i could generate. Then came the practice session with the new poly balls and it felt like a whole different sport. Whilst...

    It’s the million dollar question right now, isn’t it? I’ve done a bit of homework and it’s my hope is that this post will help you gain a greater understanding of the poly ball, to lessen the confusion surrounding it and hopefully to ease your decision on what poly ball to choose. So which...
  16. Finally, orange poly balls has been launched!!!

    As we know, DHS is makers of many branded poly balls, so soon many brands will follow suit with orange balls. Not my favourite poly ball (prefer seamless XSF made balls at the moment), but this is an option to those "must be orange ball" environments.

  19. New poly balls with old table tennis robots

    Since I have a table tennis robot at home, I am wondering if the new poly balls will be compatible or not with the robots suited for the current celluloid balls. Or possibly new robots will be made suited for poly balls? If anyone has any knowledge about this or possibly tried the poly balls in...
