The sound is more of a pop instead of a crack, and I get what Carl has been talking about with spinning the ball. A lot of people not used to the spin are giving up...
  11. DISCUSSION: Will ITTF switch back to celluloid balls if plastic balls failed?

    This topic is just for discussion only. We know that the switch from celluloid to plastic was to slow down the game, reduce spin(allegedly to handicap China players) and make it more viewer friendly. HOWEVER..... Sure the game has slowed but I personally find the matches to be quicker as the...
