STIGA 1-Star Assorted Multicolor Recreational-Quality Regulation Size 40mm Table Tennis Balls (6 Pack)

I now have a nearly four-year-old feral cat living with me. I believe that his transition from a part-time to a full-time employee was smooth. Playtime with me and alone accounts for a large portion of the time spent inside the cat. There are mostly hardwood floors throughout my home, as well as two sets of long stairs. These have quickly become one of the cat's and my favorite toys. He bats them around and hunts them alone most of the time, but every now and then he paws one over to where I'm sitting and we roll it back and forth for a while. I like these colors because they make it easier to find them underneath furniture and they don't look as dirty as white ones. The biggest blunder I made was only purchasing one package to test. I got plenty of extra exercise by getting down on my hands and knees with a broom handle or yardstick and retrieving items from underneath furniture several times a day. Even though I moved furniture to look for them, some have mysteriously vanished. The only way these could be improved as a cat toy would be if they included a digital signal for electronic tracking. I now have a container full of extra ping pong balls and sponge balls, so I can go on a weekly hunt for the rascals. Otherwise, if only one or two balls are visible, I simply drop a few more on the ground. While waiting for my second set of Stiga multi-sport balls, I picked up some inexpensive white ping pong/table tennis balls. (I didn't need the extra exercise of crawling on the floor six times a day to find trapped balls under furniture and in tight spaces while wielding a broom handle. ) ) Anyway, I've noticed that my cat prefers colored balls to white balls. In addition, I have plain and soccer-themed sponge balls. I've noticed that he plays more often and for longer with any colored ball, especially one with a pattern, such as the sponge balls used in soccer. I'll make a point of buying pattern table tennis and sponge balls the next time I go shopping. (At Amazon, Stiga sells a package with a sports pattern printed on the balls. ) ) I'm not familiar with the behavior of indoor cats. I did some research online and discovered that cats are more drawn to movement than color because they are, for the most part, color-blind. Despite the fact that they can distinguish some colors, they are colorblind. So that explains why my cat prefers colored balls to white balls, as well as those with printed patterns. I hope my findings help you save money on cat toys.

. Yes, my house with its wood floors looks like a rink during hockey slapshot practice with balls all over it, but it's a great way to keep your cat active, and I'm not worried about tripping or stepping on the balls because they seem to fly away at the slightest bump. I simply keep them off the stairwells, particularly at the top and bottom of each stairwell. So far, everything seems to be going swimmingly.

These balls have a star rating of one and are primarily novelty balls. I'm only now becoming aware of the star rating system. br>Stiga appears to be a popular brand name for table tennis products, and they cleverly place the rating stars of the specific balls right on the package's front, which is fantastic. My friends and I had picked up a short table on the spur of the moment, and we had been playing with yellow Stiga 3s. br>That's actually TOO NICE a ball to use on that table, because you don't have the standard distances to hit the ball with. These single star balls appear to be a little harder (and, I believe, have a more visible seam), and they don't react to spins as well as the multi-star balls. I suppose it's to be expected that there would be star balls. br>br>The advantage of these less expensive balls is that not only do you get a purple one (which is nearly impossible to see while playing), but they are also a harder ball that can withstand a slightly larger swing of the paddle on this smaller table. br>br>These are ideal for the price and for our needs.

I purchased these because they were inexpensive and I needed beer pong balls for the upcoming New Year's Eve party. Then I notice a warning label on the back of the package. "This product contains chemicals that the state of California has identified as being known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. " What the hell is going on here? I'm not going to put these in the beer cups we're drinking. It wasn't even worth the effort to return it, and $2 on China was a waste of money, but oh well. br>br>UPDATE: br>br> Even with such a low-cost product, it's nice to know that a company cares enough to respond to my concerns, and the point they make seems perfectly reasonable. Still, I'll choose a low-risk option over a high-risk option. However, I increased the rating from one to three stars because I prefer to support businesses that provide excellent customer service.

Kids, even older ones, are fighting over certain colors to the point where I have to take them away permanently! br>br>Consistency of Bounce (7/10) - br>They're one-star balls from a generally recreational-oriented company. a production firm Expect nothing less than a world-class experience. It's not of the highest quality, but it's good for a quick hit. It's ideal for use with robots and for beginner games. br>Durability (eight out of ten) -
Hey! They last a long time! Not to mention getting scratched and stepped on, but it should last a couple of weeks in general. br>br>Overall rating (8/10)- br>Once again, they're fantastic, long-lasting, and ideal for having a good time. However, some colors, such as dark purple and bright yellow, are difficult to see. I play professionally, and I can honestly say that some of the colors on the ball moving at super slow speeds, or even at 100 mph, are impossible to see. However, they are suitable for use by children and for recreational purposes.

These are a lot of fun if you don't expect too much. They're only 1/2 star balls at best (lower quality control than Stiga 1 stars), but they're good for amusement and recreation. I bought them to work on my visual acuity and perception with different colors, and they're perfect for it. This set also good for breaking up the monotony of regulation colored yellow/white balls if mixed in with others in a ball serving/practice machine, but don't be surprised by soft spotted and out of round balls that were not fully pressed together at the factory, perhaps that's why. br>Some balls as good/better than Stiga 3 stars, but don't be surprised by soft spotted and out of round balls that were not fully pressed together at the factory, perhaps that's why.

Every cat I've ever had had a penchant for batting it around in the tub and on the floor. Ping pong balls are so light that even if the cat tries to attack them, the ball will fly away at the slightest provocation, and the feline will be off to "catch" it again.
