Zitat von ivo-M

There are many things that influence the lifetime of a tt-ball. Some players have a nose for broken balls....they bounce different among things...

The floor and the wall are very important for its lifetime. If the floor and the wall have sharp edges (example a brick-wall), then the lifetime will be very short because every-time when the ball hits such an edge the tension on the ball is so big it will break faster. The best thing what you can do is put some carpet against the wall. The floor can have the same problem but changing the floor should be 'impossible'.

Hey, wenn das jetzt war ist, dann geht es mir ähnlich wie dir.
Mir "sterben" die 40er weg wie nichts, vielleicht liegts aber auch an meinem neuen Holz!!!

Zitat von Bow

Interesting... You extracted them?

@Ivo-M: Well, my club plays on blue tables too, but also with white balls.
I think orange balls have more and more the funktion like a red ball in soccer (used in winter with snow). They are only used, if there are real problems to see a white ball (bright floor, bright wall, etc.).
However, I have not so much experience with orange balls. I had three orange Joola ***, they where pretty heavy. They broke in a short time, but I had worse white balls (BTY for example).

I always had the feeling, that orange balls are a little bit more elastic at the "equator" (Naht), so that they don´t break as fast as white ones.

Zitat von Scuzzle

Tja mein Englisch ist nicht so überragend. Leseverstehen ist zwar ok aber am schreiben haperts. Deswegen auf Deutsch

Ich finde die neuen (40mm) Bälle gehen alle viel zu schnell kaputt. Deswegen habe ich mal für „There are no good table tennis Balls“ gestimmt
