FAQs

Are these balls suitable for professional tournaments?

No, these are 1-star rated balls, best suited for practice and recreational play. Professional tournaments typically require higher-rated balls.

What does ITTF-approved mean?

ITTF (International Table Tennis Federation) approval signifies that the balls meet the official standards for size, weight, sphericity, and durability required for competitive play.

How many balls are in a pack?

Each pack contains 72 white table tennis balls.

What is the Cell-Free formula?

The Cell-Free formula is a manufacturing process that helps create balls with more accurate sphericity and improved elasticity, leading to more consistent performance.

Can these balls be used for spin practice?

While they offer decent control for learning, their 1-star rating means they may not generate the extreme spin required for advanced spin-focused training. They are better for general technique development.

How should I store the table tennis balls?

Store the balls in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keeping them in their original packaging or a dedicated container helps maintain their shape and quality.

What is the main difference between 1-star and higher-star balls?

Higher-star balls (e.g., 3-star) are manufactured to tighter tolerances, offering better consistency, durability, and performance characteristics like spin and speed, making them suitable for competition. 1-star balls focus on general playability and durability for practice.

Troubleshooting

Balls feel inconsistent

Ensure balls are stored correctly and have not been exposed to moisture or extreme temperatures. Check if the balls are from the same batch.

Balls are not round

While the Cell-Free formula enhances sphericity, significant deformation may occur if balls are crushed during storage or handling. Inspect packaging for damage.

Reduced bounce or elasticity

This can occur over time with heavy use or due to storage conditions. Ensure balls are kept in a stable environment. For training, consider replacing older balls.
