About TT Ball
Table tennis balls are lightweight, hollow, spherical, and typically 40mm in diameter, weighing 2.7g. Modern balls are constructed from white or orange non-celluloid ABS plastic with a matte finish and are graded by a 1-to-3-star system, with 3-star being the ITTF-approved standard for competitive play. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
Key Technical Specifications
Diameter: 40mm (commonly marked as 40+), with older or specialized balls being 38mm.
Weight: Strictly 2.7 grams (standard range 2.67g - 2.77g).
Material: Currently, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) polymer is used for safety, replacing the highly flammable celluloid used historically.
Color: White or orange (selected based on contrast with the table and clothing).
Bounce: Official standards require a 240-260 mm bounce when dropped from 305 mm. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
Quality and Types
3-Star (): Highest quality, used in official ITTF tournaments, offering maximum precision, consistency, and roundness.
1 or 2-Star: Generally used for training, robots, or recreational play, often slightly less durable or perfectly spherical than 3-star options.
Seamless vs. Seamed: Modern plastic balls may have a visible seam (connected) or be seamless, with seamless often providing better balance, while seamed ABS balls are praised for consistent, higher-grade performance. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Performance Characteristics
Spin: High-quality balls can handle up to 9,000 rotations per minute (RPM).
Visibility: Modern 3-star balls are often designed with enhanced material brightness to be easily seen.
Durability: The switch to ABS plastic has improved durability, resulting in fewer cracks during play
