I'm quite sad about giving up traditions at our beloved table tennis. Now we have a plastic ball, which is neither round nor robust, but hard to spin. Though I did not stop enjoying the game, it has become quite "dull" and a little bit more boring. In addition we have to look at the opponent playing with blue rubbers. It feels like someone is joking about our sport.
@@ruffianeo3418 It just simply stopped being worth making. The process for making it was deemed inefficient, was prone to catching on fire and aged like milk with "Discolor[ing] and crack[ing] with age". the other plastics became much easier to work with.
@@ruffianeo3418 remember there were two big changes…. First was change of 38mm celluloid ball to 40mm celluloid ball. Next change was 40m celluloid balls to 40mm plastic balls. I believe this video is using 38mm celluloid balls.
Excellent program
Could you please also talk about how table tennis has changed due to speed glue ban?
Thanks
Funny the 38 are much much faster and easier to get a point,

Why they choose the less fun ball
Indeed - what were the reasons for the change?
