Back in 2022, Japan, like the rest of the world, was just coming out of the worst of the pandemic. During that time, Nittaku developed a ping pong ball they called “Premium Clean”. Identical to their other 3-star balls, it has:
Nittaku’s antiviral and antibacterial coating, single nano composite particle coating
“Medical Nano Coat”
This antiviral and antibacterial coating uses a unique technology to uniformly coat various functional inorganic materials with particle sizes of less than 10 nanometers, keeping surfaces clean.
Thanks to Derc for making me aware of this product. Never available widely in the US at regulation size, it has now been discontinued completely. Seems like a good idea, whether or not it can be proven safer…
I’m help a friend sell this table. It is an older indoor table, probably from 1990s (maybe older). Two pieces with folding legs. Indoor table. Table has noticeable damage: bubbles on top which will require sanding and touch-up paint, as wells as some damage to edges in a couple spots which would require wood fill/putty and paint touch-up. Comes with net mount (not shown in pics). It is a super solid table but definitely shows some age. Made in Germany. He’s looking for $100 or best offer. If interested, contact me through this site or at the club.
For those still looking for masks, the Joola company is making some here in the USA. Free shipping through 4/15. Nice to see a table tennis company making this happen.
I have nowhere to put one of these, but you see similar tables throughout Europe on the streets and parks. If serious, they have a 25% off shipping deal going until November 15. There is a similar table outside of Louden Nelson in Santa Cruz.
