Zitat von Sir Jan

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!!!

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'.

Zitat von Edward

ich konnte 1 monat
lang n stiga optimum spielen .

In my club we have the experiance that they last us +- 6 hours of playing competition. First they are ok, the next they break. But it can always be a bad production lot of 144 balls.

Well, I try to write correct English sentences, it`s not easy, but even not impossible.
When you play outside the gym on a stone-table, your ball will break earlier !!!
I had a "Schildkröt"-ball for ca. 5-7 or more months and the ball never brokes, it was the best ball I have ever played. I was very sad when I lost the ball in a gym .
