1. Don't Be Cynical, Give it a Chance!
Most people have already turned their noses up, of course! We don't like
change. There has been a lot of negativity surrounding the new ball. The new
ball does have some differences but a great effort has been made to create
a ball as similar as possible to the celluloid ball. First important pointer
, it's not all that bad, it's still playable and will require some small
adaptations, but it's not the end of table tennis as we know it.
2. Stay Closer to the Table in Topspin Rallies
One thing we noticed when in loop or topspin rallies was that the ball
trajectory after the bounce was actually a little bit lower than with the
celluloid ball. This means if you are used to staying further back in
topspin exchanges you are going to find yourself picking the ball up a bit
late. Make sure you adjust to the new lower bounce off the table so you can
continue to be effective and deadly on attack!
3. Be Ready for Shorter Serves
A standout of the new ball is that it does react less on the table, this
means a lower and slower bounce and consequently serves which don't often
drift longer. There is a lot more comfort short serving the ball. Most of
the short serves we tried which bounced twice with a celluloid ball could
find three bounces at the other end with the poly ball. So be prepared for
tighter serves.
4. Start Thinking Placement
While powerful strokes can still be achieved with the plastic ball, there is
certainly a small loss of speed and spin. It is more comfortable to block
offensive balls and once you get used to it the error margin on shots seems
to be a little more on the safer side. This means placement is going to
become twice as important as it is more difficult to hit through your
opposition.
5. Close Those Angles A Bit More
While the ball is less reactive off the table surface, it does seem to have
a firmer bounce on the rubber. In short exchanges the ball was a little
harder to keep low over the net and it's more difficult to try and impart
amounts of spin on a short push. You will need to create a little more angle
on your short pushes in order to keep that ball low to the net, otherwise
it's going to be floating a little too far into the danger zone.
6. Put in the Hours
The obvious way of mastering anything new. Don't hesitate, get your hands on
some poly balls sooner rather than later. The best thing to do is to use
one poly ball and one celluloid ball in the beginning and try and analyse
some of the comparisons between them. This will help you understand the
differences between the two balls and you will start to see some things you
will need to alter in order to master the new ball.
7. Defensive Players Have Advantage
With less spin and power on the ball, defensive players are going to be more
than a little pleased. We tested the ball against chop and close table long
pips blocking. It appeared the defensive strokes were more consistent with
the poly ball and it was a bit harder to exploit weaknesses or force
mistakes. So for all you people with pips or chopping out there, you may
just enjoy this new ball a bit more than you think ;) | h*h
