New version of plastic balls becoming available
A new generation of plastic balls made with ABS plastic seem to be a noticeable improvement over the initial plastic balls (poly). For a more official review check out:
I’ve been experimenting with the Andro version which has also been getting decent reviews. So far, I feel it is definitely closer to the feel of the celluloid ball than the poly balls. Need to give it a few more weeks of play to be sure. If you’d like to try it out, post a comment below and I’ll bring one into the club.

Fact or Fiction: The Life & Times of a Ping Pong Hustler
Fact or Fiction: The Life & Times of a Ping Pong Hustler is a documentary about Marty Reisman, one of the most famous American players of his era. Now available to stream on devices with Amazon Prime or YouTube if you pay. I just watched it last night and though it doesn’t have nearly enough ping pong in it, it is worth seeing for a bit of history and the wacky character of Marty Reisman himself at the end of his life.
