The previous Guinness world record was also set by Ma Deqi, after catching 17 flying ping-pong balls in one minute on China Central Television.
The 40-year-old man recalled his performance on TV, "I was nervous, so my result wasn't that good."
Guinness World Records also recognized a related world record: the most times to flash two ping pong balls with the mouth: 180, achieved by Jiang Guoying (China).
According to the Guinness World Records, the world record for the Most times to flash 4 ping pong balls with the mouth was achieved by Francisco Tebar Honrubia (Spain), who was able to 'flash' four ping pong balls 14 times with his mouth on the set of El Show de los Récords, Madrid.
Ma said he began to practice it two years ago after he saw someone used chopsticks to pick up glass balls on TV.
An avid ping-pong player, Ma practices by catching balls spit out from an automatic server.
Currently he's working on catching balls while walking up stairs and blowing a harmonica.
