Part 3: Seam / Surface of the ball / Hardness
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.
