I posted this at MyTT but people here may find this useful also. It turns out that if you just search the ITTF Laws of Table Tennis, there are quite a few important things you just won't find there, especially about rubbers, balls, blades, and other arcane stuff that are of interest to more advanced players, and fans of the top events. ITTF does not always make it easy to find what you need to know. Here are some links to ITTF literature that provide answers to a lot of questions that come up here. I think (hope) I have found the most up-to-date versions, but this stuff changes periodically. Sometimes you need to search ITTF Technical Bulletin T3 for balls http://www.ittf.com/stories/pictures/T3_Ball_BoD2015.pdf Technical bulletin T4 for blades and their coverings http://www.ittf.com/stories/pictures/T4_Racket_Coverings_BoD2013.pdf . Sometimes you need to search the ITTF Handbook http://www.ittf.com/ittf_handbook/2014/2014_2015_ITTF_HB.pdf Or something different, known as the Handbook for Match Officials http://www.ittf.com/URC/PDF/HMO_15th_edition.pdf List of approved balls http://www.ittf.com/_front_page/ittf1.asp?category=balls List of authorized racket coverings http://ittf.com/stories/pictures/LARC_2015A.pdf This being the ITTF, some of what is written is not as precise as you might like. Feel free to add more if you know about it. |
