Dear all,
I am sure there are posts before on this, if it is entirely repeated. Admin, please kindly help me delete this. I didn't see any late posts on this forum when I used the searching engine.
I just wanna spark some discussion again. I heard the new plastic ball is less spinny, and all that. I mean why change? I think spinny-ness is one of the key feature of tabletennis that beats other sports, and I am really proud for TT about that, but it seems now ITTF is changing it for no strong reasons?
I saw that Sharara said there's hazard created during manufacturing. I don't know the detail of manufacturing yet, but it should be pretty machinary I would think, and why not by adding some protection in the manufacturing side. And people couldn't even seem to find the evidence according to reports online. Even if it's true, is it a good enough reason to change the entire sports so much with such low motivation, and bad feedbacks from many places? Is it good to put forward a decision with so much negative feedbacks? Is Sharara so used to changing, that's so much power with ITTF imo (but I guess many countries agreed?). What is the point of changing to put it simply, and has this proposal gone through a process that is reflective of all the negative comments everywhere (I have seen little to none positive comments).
I am feeling really sad about my sport. I hope what I heard were not true.
2 areas of discussions:
(1) Do you think it's good or bad
(2) What can we do about it? (if it's bad)
I am really posting so some of us can work on (2) I see petition made months ago, but that was not enough, how can we talk to ITTF? maybe posts like this can made important people notice. thank you!
