Recently I was wondering how does a table tennis ball differ based on the weight and size of balls from other racket sports. This is interesting because the size and shape of ball affect the physics of any game and how that particular sports racket is created. Table tennis racket is made of rubber(sometimes composite) but most other rackets mostly use different type of strings or paddles. Let’s take a look at size comparison of other racket sports such as tennis, ping pong, squash, pickleball, cricket etc.

For any table tennis player, it is important to know the quality of the ball. Table Tennis Manufacturers create various star balls depending on the quality. Every star balls is different from other and for various reason. Manufacturers such as Stiga, DHS, Joola, Donic etc create multiple star balls but usually from 1 star to 3 star balls. 4 star balls are not really created and even on ITTF website, you can see list of approved Table Tennis Balls.

Pickleball is a new sport that is gaining popularity around the world. But this game naturally comes to a Ping Pong player for multiple reasons :-

Recently I saw image related to four side table tennis and this concept really made me think about new possible format. 🤩 4 side table tennis concept, looks interesting.
