"PERMANENT SPONGE" RULE
Good to hear a novelty Rule to govern the use of sandwich rubbers is now underway. The core idea is that you can't use any of sandwich rubbers unless the Red Circle label is stuck on the retail packs.
This is to avoid players inventing some crazy rubber combination with some no-name sponge underneath, those weird sponge materials ITTF disfavours strongly..
A honoured IOC official, native of Japan Mr. Kimurra-san, he is the mastermind behind the novelty rule.
I am not a boss, but only a humble Pf versed pretty well of structural engineering.
CHEERS.
