Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal longevity and performance, store these balls in a temperature-controlled environment, away from direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can soften the plastic. While these balls are compatible with all standard table tennis tables, they perform best on professional-grade surfaces. After use, inspect the balls for minor scuffs or hairline cracks; even though they are durable, impact with metal net posts or concrete floors can compromise their structural integrity. Clean them periodically with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust or table debris that might affect grip during spin shots.
