They are taking skill out of the game. Now table tennis is not the most difficult sport in the world.

i am signing this petition because i dont believe the desicion that ittf has made ( to change the balls from celluloid to plastic) is for the sake of the sport itself. if the players around the world are complaining about it, ittf should listen to them. dont do it ittf,

This change is not normal, tests have been many players that have given an unsatisfactory result. If players do not agree, per why change? Quin wins with this change, who benefits? economically secure some, but not a player.

I have been a member of a table tennis club for 10 years and from the reviews of the new proposed Poly ball I certainly do not want to change to replace the existing ball.

You keep changing the Table tennis Equipment and you lose the authenticity of the sport. teweaking is fine however significant changes, that effect changes in many years of trained skills are frustrating and degrade the sport.

The sport that I love since high school is going to be a past because of the plastic balls. I've been training my son and daughter to play this game for a year now. All the hardships, time, and money for equipment will just go down the drain. I don't believe that the ITTF is really qualified to change the sport since I these people are not real players. They're just grumpy old people who are not good enough to play the sport because they don't understand strokes and effort to become good at this sport. I'm training my kids to be great players and hoping they could also get college scholarships by playing this sport. I'm a fan of table tennis. I eat, sleep, laugh, cry, and work to put table tennis into my family. I've helped many kids and rewarded of the scholarships they have. We have a great friendly community of amateur players who have great jobs and because of them, they also help our players find great jobs as soon as they graduate from college. It's really obvious that we put table tennis in our hearts that we created a great community in Iloilo City, Philippines. Just today, I received news that Ma Long , and other great players are out of Qatar open. I suspect they used your damn, stupid plastic fucking balls straight from your incompetent style of playing. ..........ITTF, fuck you!!!

New ball is an error like all previous changes... At the end nobody will enjoy playing table tennis!

No possible good reason to make this change. What advantages are there?
