Yasaka 38mm Celluloid Balls Table Tennis Balls | Classic 38mm Speed and Spin
The celluloid Yasaka 38mm table tennis balls are a rare throwback to the golden era of table tennis, last used in official competitions back in 2001. A perfect item for nostalgic older players and curious younger generations who want to experience the classic, fast-paced feel of traditional celluloid. Because of their advanced age, they have a slight green tint but are otherwise in perfect condition. Needless to say, they are no longer ITTF Approved.

- Nostalgic value: Ideal for collectors, exhibition matches, and players wanting to experience the speed of legends like Jean-Philippe Gatien.
These Yasaka 38mm celluloid balls are a unique piece of table tennis history, offering a fast and spin-intensive throwback experience.
Are these balls ITTF approved for modern tournaments?
No, the ITTF switched to 40mm balls in 2000 and plastic balls later. For modern tournament-legal balls, check out our plastic balls category.
Why do these balls have a slight green tint?
The green tint is a natural result of the celluloid aging process over the years in storage, but it does not affect their roundness or performance. To explore other vintage celluloid models, visit celluloid balls.
How does the playstyle differ from modern 40+ balls?
The 38mm size and celluloid composition make the ball fly faster and spin much more intensely, requiring quicker reflexes and shorter strokes.
