Sportly® 3 Star 40mm Training Table Tennis Balls (White, 12)

I thought I give these a try, as I couldn't find any orange Nittaku, and they're just okay. They're not as good as the Nittaku balls. They feel slight lighter than the Nittaku and about the same as the Butterfly 3* balls. I also feel the bounces are flatter than the Nittaku or Butterfly. Also, these Sportly balls tend to dirt stick to them more when they rolled on the ground. Not sure if it's because they're new. I don't experience the same with Nittaku or Butterfly balls.Here's how I ranked the ball quality.1 - Nittaku 3 stars2 - Butterfly 3 stars3 - Sportly 3 stars

These balls are super durable. We have a table at work for “stress relief” and have 2 on 2 battles every day at lunch. We are on pace for one ball per month. With that many people delivering out of control spike attempts, our previous balls were lasting 4 or 5 days max. We will absolutely reorder these next year when they finally run out.

We were using Stiga 3-star balls prior to these, and we cracked a ball every couple days. We've now been using the same ball for a week and we find it sturdier than the Stiga ball, not too dense or anything like that, but so far no cracked balls. If things continue like this I'll be buying another set of these once these are gone. They also seem good and round, no issues there.

I know they're not "meant for beer pong" but these balls performed great on our fold out plastic table. Durable, and felt like they were very well made VS. cheaper ones I've bought in the past. I'm very please with my purchase.

The balls crack far too soon under normal play conditions. We've gone thru 6 (of 12) in as many weeks. And 2 just today!I would not buy these again.

Absolutely a step above the standard balls. Forget about the cheapo balls at Wal-mart. I tested dropping this and another ball (three-star Stiga balls which I also like - that came with my Stiga paddle set). This Sportly ball has an interesting property of dampening the number of bounces faster than the Stiga . I enjoy playing with these.

These seem very high quality!

After using these, we could not use any other ones.Perfect bounce, responds well with spin.Very high quality material.It even sounds better.I highly recommend this product.

I have to confess, I did not purchase these to play table tennis. I wanted to make a ball pit for my degus to play in so needed something that was of excellent quality but I didn't want to have to pay the inflated prices of 'professional' makes.They were ideal for my needs but, having played for an amateur table tennis team in my younger days, can attest that these are on par with the quality of dearer brands.Very please indeed with the purchase.

A review from my husband:I received my pack of Sportly 3 star 40mm table tennis balls a few days ago. That same evening I brought them to my table tennis club to try out. During the course of the evening they were used by myself and several others - all of whom were league players. They were all entirely satisfied with the performance of the balls. The general opinion was that the weight was good and the bounce consistent. They seem every bit as good as the more expensive balls we normally use at the club. As to the long term durability, well, only time can tell but so far the omens are good.I will certainly continue to use them in future.

The cat loves them, and me too. The bright, friendly colour means that I don't step on them as I seem to do with her old dirty white balls. Very happy with my purchase and I'm sure if I played table tennis that they would be great for that too. Thanks!

Work just fine, not top quality but decent enough for practice!

What a great ping pong ball. If like me you're using them to play ping pong then you can't go wrong. If your intention is to undertake some sort of special activity as featured in certain East Asian establishments then I couldn't comment having only hit them with my bat.
