Take this for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QctHvzcLxM4 Or this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2McMNyatWI Is it because of the camera angles or just that the umpires are not so strict

Hi all, I was just curious about the new BTY A0+ ball used in WTTC in Halmstad. I saw many changes of balls (I suppose mostly broken balls), but no one and no thread (not only TTD...) is pointing out comments about. It would be great to have some indications, especially from the players...

After huge success in cricket, the ITTF have been trialing a pink ball which has been approved by the ITTF board and Athletes Commission. Cricket viewing figures have soared due to the new pink cricket ball as its more spectator friendly and the fans can see what's going on easier. As of...

One of our fellow players has quite a few dodgy serves. I was trying to explaining him that the ball has to be thrown up 16cm and come down 16 cm which is approx. 6 inches. Interestingly he said I know the rule says the ball has to go up 16 cm but it does not have to come down. And I cannot find...

First ever footage of the manufacturing process for Nittaku Premium 40+ at Nittaku's new plant in Koga, Ibaraki. There is also some footage of the CNC milling machine used for making their blades. Last but not least, we have Sayaka Hirano pitted against the Nittaku's table tennis robot. So is...

Hello, after some advice on the catch net mentioned above. I occasionally take a robot to the local sports centre and would like to purchase a net that's quick to set up. Also want to take out for multi-ball. A quick internet search showed a Joola Buddy net for around £49 and a Chinese made net...

I'm not an equipment expert at all. I feel like I'm asking an extremely common sense question, but for softer rubbers, you generate spin mainly by using the sponge? (as opposed to closing your racket more to spin the top of the ball for tacky rubbers) I heard this while going through...

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...

Hi all, here's a new coaching video I have made, where I explain how to improve your 3rd ball attack. The video is mainly aimed at intermediate players, but there may be some useful tips for more advanced players too. In the video I talk about: - Expecting your serve to be returned -...

Hey guys, on the official ITTF equipment list there is another new ball from Nittaku, the "Nittaku Nexcel 40+*** (Plastic with seam)". I heard it's another material, not ABS and the name suggest it is similar to CELulloid? That would be great :)

Wonder what people think about this new Nittaku ball? As for me, I got a couple of boxes just the other day and yesterday played with it a few matches at the tournament... so far quite like it, first it didn't broke (which is nice already ;) ), second it's feels lighter and harder than DHS...

I am just wondering if it's a bad idea to do multi ball training with Celluloid balls. Like what are the negatives? I still have my training celluloid balls from before I stopped playing TT which I used for multi ball. I want to know if I need to really invest in the new plastic balls or if I...

The Women's World Cup final between Zhu Yuling and Liu Shiwen took place last night and sparked one of the most controversial points in history! Did the ball hit the edge? See for yourself in the video below: <iframe...

Hi, I am looking for some cheap balls for a multiball training (~ 200 balls I would say). I used to buy 3 star DHS celluloid balls from Aliexpress. They seemed qenuine, the quality was good and the price was very good. Can't find the same seller now and I think its time to switch to poly. Also...

Alryt guys, in our latest review we test the new ABS ball from STIGA and compare it to other popular balls in the market including the current DHS ABS ball used in the World Tours. We found some great results with the new ABS ball, watch the review in the video below for more: Have you...

Hello there; as the title suggests, I am looking to buy a couple of box's of the new DHS ball from TTNPP given that their postage is vastly superior to others however, my concern is that the balls could be fakes give that they cost £2.71 for 6 which to me, seems insane. Typically I play with...

Good day everyone, i just changed from Inverted to SP 2 weeks ago. I became more active. i am currently having problems in receiving short heavy underspin serves and Long float balls. For heavy underspin: its hard for me to push since it pops up most of the time What i did was twiddle to my...

Just wondering if anyone has tried out the new double fish v40 abs ball. if so how does it compare to the dhs d40 ball.

The title is a little bit of a misnomer , because literally we don't or can't really "see" the ball "early" , granted there are some people who are naturally blessed with above average vision and fighter pilot reflexes but mere mortals like us have a limit on either front. So what we really...
