See my attached tracking demo. It uses color segmentation. You might be able to use optical flow but then you'd also have to deal with the other things that move, like the paddles and players.

I doubt whether your algorithm would be fast enough to track a ball during a live game. Regardless, you'd need a very expensive high speed camera because I don't think the frame rate of a standard camera is high enough. I mean, the ball may travel across the whole table in just one frame time.

This is a video based algorithm first i will go for an image where i can pick a ball and then go for direction if ball is coming in this way then where it will go...
