What the National Weather Service wrote

Ping Pong ball size hail was reported near Morven, near the intersection of Burch St and Mill St.

The wider storm

A weak frontal zone sat and wavered generally west to east across North Carolina. A mid level perturbation along with daytime heating spawned loosely organized thunderstorms, starting in the Triad region around in the mid to late afternoon and growing upscale and expanding across the Piedmont with an east-southeastward motion. Some of the strongest storms became severe and produced damaging wind gusts and large hail. Storms became outflow dominant and weakened as they headed into eastern portions of central North Carolina.

Began near Morven (34.8603, -80.0010).
