Ping Pong Balls Poly 40+ Ø4 cm, 6 pcs

Set of six standard-size ping pong balls made from durable ABS plastic (poly), in a mix of fun colours. 

The name 40+ refers to their slightly larger size compared to traditional celluloid balls (up to 40.6 mm in diameter). 

In real terms, poly balls have a slightly rougher surface than celluloid, are a touch lighter, and just a teeny bit bigger.

In professional table tennis, poly balls bring a higher bounce and slightly slower flight and smash speeds. The switch to poly balls was made because the game had become so fast, you could barely see the ball anymore. 
For casual ping pong enthusiasts who love a quick game of round-the-table at recess, poly balls have the advantage of being more durable and less likely to lose their shape—even when things get creative and a library book steps in as a makeshift paddle.

It stimulates your child's depth perception to play ball games using their hands, feet, head, or a racket/bat. Some ball games have rules, and it's good for your child to practise following them. So, when your child persistently claims that there's definitely NO penalty, or that the ball was not out of bounds, don't worry - that's a learning moment. Also, your child's proprioception is very much engaged in ball games, and that's a sense which really can't be overstimulated.
