When I look at the ITTF's LARC , there are so many rubbers that I have no idea where I can buy these rubbers from.
I have seen somewhere a separate list of manufacturers but it is not complete.
It would be far more more useful if both these lists are merged
I think it would help from all aspects, ITTF, Manufacturers, dealers, players, coaches etc etc if ITTF would change the LARC page to include dealers & manufacturer names & especially contact email & phone for each dealer & manufacturer. If they want ITTF can charge a fee to the dealers & manufacturers.
This way, dealers make more money. Players get better access to these rubbers & have more fun. The more EJ's, the better off (financially etc) the sport . Unless of course the ITTF wants no EJ's, in which case ITTF can just standardize to just one racket with same two inverted rubbers 2 mm, in which case the LARC can be just a list of approved manufacturers
Right now the LARC page looks like a law book for table-tennis lawyers & police (referees) to "enforce" the holy laws of table-tennis
It would also be more useful if this was in spreadsheet format rather than the rigid PDF format
