How similar, or identical does the plastic table tennis ball play compared to the celluloid ball?
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.
In the remaining 3 parts we get some player feedback on how Joola's plastic and celluloid balls compared.

It's interesting that so many people from your videos think the polyball bounces higher. It definately bounces lower. I would love to see if I could notice the difference if someone did the same test with me.

the newer plastic balls have less difference. i've been able to play with negligible difference for at least half a yr now. in the beginning, you could really tell plastic was heavier and harder to spin

Conclusion
4. None of the player smacks you on the face for tricking them for this test.
