Table tennis ball is a small, lightweight, and hollow sphere used in the game of table tennis (ping pong).
Material: Usually made from celluloid or plastic (poly), with plastic being more common in modern balls due to safety and environmental regulations.
Diameter: Approximately 40 millimeters (mm).
Weight: Around 2.7 grams.
Color: Typically, white, or orange, chosen based on contrast with the playing surface and lighting.
Surface: Smooth and matte, with no texture, allowing consistent bounce and spin.
Seam: Some balls have a visible seam (two halves joined together), while others are seamless for uniform performance.
1-star, 2-star, 3-star: Indicates quality.
3-star balls are the highest quality, used in official competitions (e.g., ITTF-approved).
Lower-star balls are used for practice or recreational play.
A high-quality ball must bounce consistently and maintain its shape and roundness, even after frequent use.
Diameter: 40 mm (standard for modern play).
This size was adopted after 2000 (previously 38 mm) to slow the game slightly and improve visibility.
2.7 grams (official weight).
Lightweight for quick movement and responsive spin.
White or orange.
Chosen based on contrast with the table and playing environment.
Matte finish to reduce glare under lighting.
Plastic (poly balls) are now standard.
Replaced traditional celluloid for safety and environmental reasons.
Durable but can crack with impact over time.
1-star, 2-star, 3-star system:
3-star = highest quality, used in professional and ITTF-sanctioned tournaments.
1-star or 2-star = practice or recreational use.
Engineered for consistent bounce and spin responsiveness.
Must bounce approximately 23–26 cm when dropped from 30.5 cm (per ITTF standards).
Perfectly round for balanced rotation and trajectory.
May be seamed (two halves joined) or seamless.
Seamless balls tend to have more uniform bounce and spin characteristics.
Must meet International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) standards for use in official matches.
Includes size, weight, bounce, roundness, and hardness criteria
