The Nittaku 3 star ball was generally considered the best ball in the world until ball size increased in the year 2001. Since then quality of balls has been generally lower.
Nittaku Butterfly and Stiga 3 star balls all have good repuations.
Over 2/3rds of the worlds Table Tennis balls are made in the DHS factory in China and DHS 3 star balls are also high quality.

The best ping pong table for you is dependent on your needs more than anything. Table are categorized differently into what consumers typically buy them for. ex: Home recreation, Tournament Quality, Outdoor.
Building a Table would be ill advised. Manufacturers use certain grades and types of MDF or Particle Board tops. They finish them in a special manor using a certain type of paint often times. Then there is also durable chassis designs and top thickness's.

^^This website has tables separated into categories and on phone help.
Other than that there is plenty of credible resources out there through the USATT.org or ITTF.com
You can go on amazon and put in this: Cornilleau Tacteo 60 Fibre Composite Bat
but the Stiga Jet is a very good one but it has stopped being made
For most amateur players, virtually any tennis ball having the "USTA" and/or "ITF" logo on the outside of the tennis ball can will work for hard courts. However, most such tennis balls are clearly indicated somewhere on the can. Most tennis ball manufacturers use colored inks on the ball to indicate which is suitable for a given surface. For example, black ink tends to mean that it is for blacktop (i.e., hard courts), red ink for clay, and green ink for grass, although there is no official standard (i.e., although the ball color is strictly mandated by the ITF and USTA - - the ruling bodies of tennis - - the ink colors on the ball are not).
There is no one best table tennis brand because everyone could be looking for something different. First of all if you just want to buy one for you or the family to learn on, I would suggest investing in a Sportscraft that you can find on sale at times for $149. That way you won't be worried about breaking it while learning.
When struck by a tennis racket the factor which effects the ball is how much spin is applied to the ball (more specific top spin) and the surface which you play on. For example: hard courts will bounce alot higher then grass courts.
Three types of tennis courts are hard courts, clay courts, and grass courts.
hard tennis ball
The three most common surfaces are grass, clay, and hard surfaces like pavement, concrete, acrylic, etc. The Wimbledon uses grass courts, which add pace to the ball and the ball's bounce is harder to predict. Clay courts are featured at the French Open and usually have a pretty predictable ball, but the ball has more spin and moves slower. Hard courts, most common, have a fast-paced ball and are the easiest to predict.
It really depends on how much experience you have. For a beginner, any surface other than a hard court surface will be difficult to play on, especially clay courts. Without knowledge of how the surface plays (i.e. where the ball jumps, how fast the ball plays, etc.), the player will be stumped at where the ball is going to go. Clay courts play very differently than hard courts, while grass courts are not as drastically different. For an experienced/professional tennis player, it is all a matter of opinion. Many Spanish players prefer to play on clay courts and find that hard courts are more difficult to win on. For many Americans, however, hard courts prove to be the easiest while clay is very difficult.
I am assuming you are talking about tennis. On a grass surface, the ball will bounce fast. On clay courts, the ball will bounce slower than on grass. On a hard court, the speed of the ball bounce will be in between clay and grass.
It is quiet hard. It has a cork centre, covered by leather. So it is harder than a tennis ball, but not as hard as a Baseball ball or a cricket ball.
It really depends how hard you bounce either one, but i think the tennis ball.
Obeying the laws of physics, the speed of a tennis ball will increase with hard surfaces, such as cement, and decrease with soft surfaces, such as clay.

It depends on how hard you want to hit the ball
