andro SPEEDBALL 3 STAR

A table-tennis ball is equally round with a diameter of 40mm and weighs 2.7g. Insiders know that it is a big skill to produce a top-competition ball. A „smashed ball“ ís not only a deadly weapon but moreover can speed up to 170km/h. Playing a hard stroke the ball contacts the rubber only 1/1000 second but deforms up to 25%. (measured 1970/71 at the TU Braunschweig by Martin Sklorz).

In order to sustain this high quality requirements, we have developed the andro speedball. Not by accident andro was the official ball sponsor of the German Open , the European Championships 2000 in Bremen and at the Europe Top 12 2004 & 2006. Moreover speedball is the official playball of the DTTB for the years 2007-2010. After the production the balls run through a selection process, where each ball is tested mechanically and manually regarding weight, hardness and roundness. Due to the fact that celluloid is hardening by the time-factor, our andro ball ripes specially stored. By beeing stored 6 months, the andro speedball becomes rounder and hardens additionally.

The result: An excellent equal ball bounce for more precision.
