Extract from the minutes of the ITTF EC meeting on 9th January 2014 in Dubai, UAE:-
Plastic ball update: The Executive Committee noted that:
- Balls had been received from 3 Chinese companies (2 with seam, 1 without seam) and 1 from Japanese company (with seam) and all had failed the initial approval tests.
- Further approval tests would be undertaken once adjustments had been made.
- Balls would be available from 1 July 2014.
- The manufacturer of the ball without seam was not a sponsor of any ITTF event as the rights had been sold for events up to 2016.
- The balls were being tested by the players
