  4. Changing original sponge. Pros and Cons.

    ITTF URC has now came out with an updated FAC For Umpires to clarify some knotty points in competetive play. We have had some expert opinions from our domestic umpires and this is our summary opinion on the ITTF URC ruling 2.7 -- We do find that the ITTF URC present ruling 2.7 doesn't agree...
  5. ITTF got indignant seeing China fraudulent commerce.

    729 was enforced to a good discipline because of ITTF being indignant. 729 has now dropped breeding bastard rubbers. Their latest rubber of 729 Dragon PRO is branded with two different names in a direct obedience to ITTF new requirement that tacky and non tacky products may not have one...

    DETRIMENTAL MATERIALS ITTF T7 "Administrative items" has a provision as follows - - ITTF BoD is entitled to discontinue any rubber(s) that found detrimental to the sport. Dear James, may me remind all the past LPs you lament for were purposely designed to enable a cheater's game...
  11. New Rule of the "toxic rubbers".

    NEW RULE is to prevent the many frauds oncoming. TOXIC RUBBERS NEED TOXIC COLORATION (conspicious tints). The core idea is to preclude those players with anti / long pips from taking unmerited advantage too much, by using different colours alternately. The new rule states as follows —...
  12. No bounce shot. Is reception possible?

    In the strict sense of Rule 2.10.1.3, the rolling ball should be viewed as a single touch of the table, and it is OK for you to get the ball back without being penalized. Is your muscular reactivity good enough to grasp the ball ? -- that's the question.

  16. The dead balls.

    The dead balls. What good is it..? These given hints on long pimps all come from our practical studies on the variety of long pimples we took from today's market over years. It is to sustain unofficial information we have learned from a factory rubber engineer --that is, none of...
  17. Should we forgive substandard rackets.

    Should we forgive substandard rackets. Never we should, unless you like receiving self-humiliation (Sacher-Masoch syndrome). Another good reason for banishing substandard rackets is the need to always maintain fair play with all players. What is more, using trashy rubbers is some...
  18. Chinese all boosting, yet never caught red handed/ Why?

    Why Chinese national players avoided being penalized for oily treatments on the rubber (= boosting). Yes. Chinese all boosting their Hurricane rubbers prior to a competition. It is believed the black oil will get Hurricane sponge as bouncy as ESN super-tensored sponge. Players associated...

  20. WTT anti-COVID Regulations still in force.

    Umpire on duty is the person to enforce those Regulations during a match. The lesson to remember -- Those unruly players will get scorched badly. The skinny China boy has already got a good lesson unforgetable.
