In an apparent "final decision" the USATT has decided to utilize the Nittaku Premium 40+ poly balls for all events to be held at the 2014 US National Championships. Their press release reads, in part: "While this is a departure from information shared a month ago, we have had ample input and assurances that the new Nittaku Premium 40+ poly ball is the best option for our upcoming National Championship. The input leading to this decision included direct input from both the Nittaku company, the official ball sponsor for USATT, and Paddle Palace, the distributor for Nittaku products in the US. They have assured us that the Nittaku Premium 40+ ball will be available in October of this year." |
