How to Pick Ping Pong Balls

Video Transcript

Obviously, there are all kinds of ping pong balls that you can buy. The more expensive ones, usually have stars on them, or little markings that show what quality, the ball is. This ball, right here, is a brand name that I usually look for because it usually lasts the longest, as far as longevity, it won't crack easy. Usually, the tournament tested, type of ball is the Halex but this ball is a three star ball, which is a heavier ball and it's a little easier to control. This is a one star ball, which are a lot lighter. The ball will tend to flow and you can't hit these as hard. It's probably better for someone that's just learning the game because it's lighter and doesn't fly as fast and a lot easier to follow. You can't put a spin on the ball and you can't hit it as hard because it just doesn't have the volume to carry it. You can get them all different colors. The orange is the classic, sort of the tennis color and then you have the old style, white ones, which most people think of, when it comes to ping pong balls. I tend to like the yellow ones, it's just easier to pick out in the air and a lot of times I'm playing down in the basement and I've got white walls, so I want something that's going to stand out against the background. I'm probably used to it from playing tennis but that's basically the equipment that you use
