TT Balls

The good thing about ABS-balls compared to the old celluloid balls is that they are more durable, harder and – importantly – more evenly hard. Good quality ABS-balls don’t have the “soft areas” that characterized the celluloid balls. ABS-balls are more difficult to spin and requires better rubbers to get a good grip on the ball. Also, the bounce on the table is different and a topspin shot don’t get the same aggressive ball curve as with the celluloid balls.

Regarding number of stars: There are no universal standards for the quality of table tennis balls and number of stars. Some balls (generally with 3 stars) have the ITTF logo stamped on them which means that they can be used for international tournaments and live up to certain standards.

At Inzone we have decided – at least for the moment – not to make an “ITTF-ball”. This is because this process is quite expensive. Instead, we decided to spend the money on quality. The Dura ** is as good as many *** ITTF-balls and a lot cheaper, while the Training * is on the same level as the ** balls from most brands.
