In 1900 celluloid replaced cork as the material used for ping-pong balls. It became the new standard for the ball and was widely produced. Celluloid

Recently, China began making plastic balls, and this innovative idea worked. Plastic ping-pong balls are made in one piece instead of celluloid balls that feature a seam down the middle. The benefits of plastic ping-pong balls are, they bounce higher than celluloid ones and fly faster. Some players have even had to alter their technique after introducing plastic ping pong balls. What exactly are plastic balls made of? Russell Moore (1 October 2010). "Coaching – Grip & Ready Position". Archived from the original on 6 November 2020 . Retrieved 12 October 2019.As you can see in the above chart (Source: ITTF Plastic Ball Q and A), there are a few differences between celluloid and plastic balls, and plastic balls with a seam and seamless balls. If you’re interested in learning more about the physics of table tennis balls, this research paper from the Journal of Human Kinetics does a great job of comparing the performance of celluloid and plastic balls. Some table tennis players use orange balls for practice and switch to white balls for tournaments. Many coaches prefer using orange balls for training to make players more aware of their strokes and perfect their technique before moving to white balls.

The table is 2.74m (9.0ft) long, 1.525m (5.0ft) wide, and 76cm (2.5ft) high with any continuous material so long as the table yields a uniform bounce of about 23cm (9.1in) when a standard ball is dropped onto it from a height of 30cm (11.8in), or about 77%. [27] [28] The table or playing surface is uniformly dark colored and matte, divided into two halves by a net at 15.25cm (6.0in) in height. The ITTF approves only wooden tables or their derivates. Concrete tables with a steel net or a solid concrete partition are sometimes available in outside public spaces, such as parks. [29] Playing area Apart from these regulations, there are also several other physical properties that you can look out for. For instance, the ping pong ball shouldn’t veer and should have a consistent bounce, which ranges between 240-260mm when dropped from a height of 305mm.

Seamed table tennis balls can be made from celluloid or plastic. Many of the cheaper balls you’ll find online are plastic balls. World Championships Finalists - Men's Singles". ITTF.

Some players choose to use orange balls during training and then switch to white balls during tournaments, but there’s no rule about this. You can use white or orange balls at any time. But there’s one more rule to take note of: before an official tournament, you and your opponent must agree on which balls to use, and the ball must be sufficiently different in color to your clothing:
