The Yinhe Table Tennis 1-Star 40+ Balls are a type of ping pong ball made by the Yinhe (Galaxy) brand, which is known for producing various table tennis equipment. Here’s a brief overview of what these balls typically offer:
Key Features:
Star Rating:
1-Star Rating: These balls are usually considered entry-level or recreational. In table tennis, balls are often rated by stars, with 3 stars being the highest quality for professional play, 2 stars for intermediate players, and 1 star for beginners or casual play.
40+ Diameter:
40+ mm: This refers to the official size of the ball, which is the standard for international competitions. The “+” signifies the slight increase in size from the traditional 40mm balls used prior to 2014, when the ITTF (International Table Tennis Federation) made the change to improve visibility and performance.
Material:
Most 1-Star balls are made from celluloid or plastic (such as ABS or similar materials). The shift from celluloid to plastic has been a trend across many brands to comply with modern regulations, which aim for more environmentally friendly products and safer manufacturing processes.
Durability and Performance:
Since they are 1-Star, they are designed for casual or practice use rather than competition. They are not as durable or consistent as higher-rated balls, which might affect bounce and spin consistency, but they are sufficient for recreational or beginner players.
Color and Design:
Typically, these balls come in white or orange colors, with the standard table tennis markings, and they may be printed with the Yinhe logo.
