Donic Schildkröt TT Ball 1-Star ELITE POLY 40+

The Elite 1* plastic table tennis ball for advanced recreational play. 3 balls in the most common white color and 3 balls in orange for better visibility due to more color contrast. Diameter: ø 40mm, in the new Poly 40+ quality. As early as July 2014, the classic celluloid balls were replaced by new plastic balls at ITTF tournaments and then gradually in most high-ranking leagues. Plastic balls are more environmentally friendly to produce with comparable playing characteristics. They are standardly distinguished from conventional celluloid balls by the imprint "40+".

Schildkröt's table tennis ball production goes way back. As early as 1896, the so-called blow-press method was developed by Schildkröt in Mannheim, according to which the balls are still manufactured today. No other brand is so closely associated with the table tennis ball as Schildkröt. Donic enjoys an excellent reputation worldwide in the competitive table tennis segment and is the outfitter of numerous well-known top players, including Dima Ovtcharov, who is the best player in the ITTF world rankings at #1 (as of JAN 2018). The traditional German brand Schildkröt has been established in the market for well over 100 years and is considered the inventor of the table tennis ball. Donic-Schildkröt is today the undisputed market leader in recreational table tennis in Central Europe. Production takes place in the BSCI certified Schildkröt factory in China under the highest social standards.
