Review on 6 Pack Of STIGA 3 Star Table Tennis Balls - Quality & Durability Guaranteed! by Craig Kimball

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great value, good performance but need some time to get used to.

I love these ping pong balls, which are not very badly priced either. We play quite a lot at work, where we have table set up in the warehouse in the back with completely white walls. The office had spent money to purchase white balls (also Stiga 3-star balls, don't know much more than that about them), which of course are a challenge to spot against completely white backgrounds. In contrast, these orange Stiga balls pop out against the background, are quite easy to see and a joy to play with.However, I did note that these balls are lighter than the white ones we usually play with, bounce differently and curve a LOT more. When we played the first few times with them, a lot of people mentioned that you could actually see the shape of the path that these balls took through the air, and have to be quick on your feet to pick them up after they bounce on the table. They also tend to change direction a lot more after bouncing, so much so that if you aren't used to them, you can find yourself swatting at air and looking quite stupid at that.All in all, a great purchase and good value for money.

Pros
  • STIGA is a well-known and respected brand in the table tennis industry, ensuring a quality product
Cons
  • May not be suitable for long rallies or extended play sessions
