Competition-ready balls also go through a series of quality checks by hand—testing the balls’ surface, veer, hardness, weight, and roundness. Go behind-the-scenes at Double Happiness (DHS), the Shanghai, China-based ball production company profiled in this Pingsider episode from The International Table Tennis Federation.
