The Champion 3* ITTF is the top competition ball from Schildkröt and the only and legitimate successor to the most famous table tennis ball of all time, the “Schildkröt 3* Super”. A competition ball with tournament approval by the ITTF (International Table Tennis Federation ITTF), it can be played at all official tournaments. Absolutely high quality hand-selected quality from the inventor of the table tennis ball. Precisely round, best bounce, durable and robust. This new competition ball Champion 3* from Schildkröt is now celluloid free; the Super 3* as its predecessor was still made of celluloid. In July 2014, the classic celluloid balls are gradually replaced by the new plastic/poly balls during tournaments. Plastic balls now have absolutely comparable playing characteristics and an identical quality and durability. However, they are significantly more environmentally friendly during production, which is why the conversion was initiated by the ITTF. The plastic balls can be recognised by the + behind 40 (40 stands for the diameter. 40+ is therefore always and consistent with all manufacturers a plastic/poly ball. The Schildkröt Champion 3* ITTF is like its predecessor, one of the best competition balls ever. Box of 3, colour: white, black stamp. The table tennis ball production from Schildkröt is very far back. In 1896, the so-called blow press method was developed by Schildkröt in Mannheim, after which the balls are still produced.
