Fair Play first
To begin with, here is the most common definition of the "bastard thing".
--no longer in its pure or original form; spurious; illegitimate.
E.g. "a bastard Tenergy-05"
ITTF STARTED CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE BASTARD RUBBERS.
The actual edition of ITTF Technical Leaflet T4 Racket Coverings dictates as follows:
- It is the responsibility of the suppliers to keep their brands on the LARC by paying the fees and maintaining the original properties of the racket covering as authorised, without alterations.
Yes, many of Chinese rubbers are now reported to differ in sponge composition and quality from a model sample as having been approved by ITTF, -- in open defiance to ITTF laws. Yes, Chinese suppliers have never been respectful of the T4 prohibition to not alter the original rubber composition. Yes, Chinese took liberties too much by composing and marketing rubber derivatives a lot. . This is the reason that ITTF came out recently with a revision of the T4 document so as to discourage manufacturers from the unduly liberties in marketing sandwich rubbers. By now, ITTF prepared a set of new regulations regarding the use of sandwich rubbers. T4 massive revision is now underway.
Be happy.

Well, you get it really right. There are several bastard Battle rubbers differing in sponge and amount of tackiness.Originally Posted by Kuba Hajto said:729Friendship Battle 2 rubber has 3 distinct variants. Commercial - the most tacky Prov - middle tacky, still tacky as heck Gold - not that tacky And they are actually easiest to play when going from Gold to commercial (the gold was the nicest to play in my hands). This is weird btw, because they should not change top sheets between those versions.
