The learning curve for table tennis is very steep. Many beginners are put off by the game due to lack of training and coaching. In order to encourage more people playing table tennis, "Large Ball" table tennis using a 44mm ball emerged from Japan in the last 10 years and become more and more popular all over the world.

A 44mm table tennis ball significantly slow down the game and makes it much more fun to learn and play table tennis for beginners and elderly people!

"Large Ball" table tennis uses a 44mm diameter ball, 10% larger than the standard 40mm ball. On the other hand, it weights 2.4g, which is about 10% lighter than a 2.7g standard ball.

Because the ball is bigger, softer and lighter than a standard 40mm ball, you need to use a soft pips out rubber bat to play it. Using normal pips in sponged bat can be hard to control the ball. The advantage in choosing different bats and rubbers is therefore minimized.

The ball is a great equalizer in terms of skill and reflex speed required to play the game. Beginners can have more funs in longer rally. You can spin the ball, hit pretty hard and high and it won't fly off the end of the table. Spin and speed are not as important a factor in differentiating players in large ball.

This "Large Ball" table tennis is ideal for kids, beginners, older people, and for social playing for fun.
