1. Seam
- What the ITTF test for 0:09
- Our observations 0:29
2. Surface of the ball
- What the ITTF test for 0:26
- Our observations 1:46
- Spin Test 5:08
3. Hardness / Sound
- What the ITTF test for 6:38
- How our tests were done 6:51
- Our results 7:20
4. Conclusions 10:07
How similar, or identical does the plastic table tennis ball play compared to the celluloid ball? Although we test Joola's Super P 40+ plastic ball using Technical Leaflet T3 as a guideline, our observations and conclusions apply equally to all two piece plastic balls.
In this 11 part video series, Preston Table Tennis Association conducted random sample testing of Joola's Super-P 40+ plastic ball and for comparison purposes, Joola's Super 40 celluid ball using the same guidelines the ITTF use, Technical Leaflet T3 - The Ball. - กีฬา

You are extremely serious in finding the differences between the celluloid and plastic table tennis balls scientifically and experimentally; very well done job! Thanks for all of your insights.
Thank you
Very good and informative!
Biggest reason is to slow the game down because of Chinese dominance, to make it 'more fair' for players from other country's. A lesser reason is to make it more 'viewer friendly' with a slower game.
I love the smaller balls back in the days compare the the bigger ones of today.
As a scientist, I respect and appreciate your superb work on this. I am trying to contact ball makers because, as a plastic materials expert, I know how to make these balls better, or even change to a superior material.
I missed the celluloid ball, so I came to watch this video.
Who knew I would spend 10+ mins watching a video in 2022 about Table Tennis Balls. The old ones also burned easy lol.
Plus I think the old ones smelt funkier (in a good way) if you sniffed the insides when broken 🤪
Lol Christmas trees brought me to this video, so much physics goes into testing ping pong balls
well done. sucks that more people didn't drop likes, could have boosted the channel 8 yrs ago.
very scientific and professional
no, it isnt. humanise fx is too much fluctuation. robot spin would MUCH MORE scientific.
Are celluloid balls less likely to damage the table than plastic balls? How would I know which balls are too hard and might damage my table. (Yes, I'm a newbie)
Neither should damage the table nor your rubber. It's also getting difficult to buy celluloid balls now as plastic have been the norm since January 2016 at competitive level
Please, I am not good in listening skill, so can you explain the difference and which ball is the best?
Are they both the same weight?
No they arent' the same weight. th-cam.com/video/B_bVBI6T3zM/w-d-xo.html
So does that mean that a rougher ball is better than sa smoother ball since the rougher ball has more friction allowing you to create more spin? Or is the smooth ball better than the rough ball?
Good question. I suppose the answer is to ask another question, why do golf balls have dimples on rather than be smooth
ahh i see, alright then, thanks m8
Based on this review, unless plastic balls are significantly cheaper to produce, I don't see any reason for ITTF going to plastic.
Why the change in material from the celluloid to the plastic?
Allegedly health and safety reasons and wanting to keep Olympic status.
Because they have to ruin everything, not inclusive enough...
celluloid is banned
The real reason money. A board member of ITTF ball testing and approval committee Dr. Joacchim Kuhn behind the report on how great the plastic balls has a MAJOR conflict of interest. Dr. Kuhn's wife Sook Yoo is one of two patent holders on the new plastic balls. The Kuhn's are making money on every 40+ ball sold. The new balls are slower and have less spin.
