Well, ITTF is on a mission to slow down the sport.
So manufactures and players are on a mission to speed up the sport that ITTF has slowed down.
The only thing that has not evolve is umpires that still using 1900 technology (maybe at most current technology is the spectacles they use in front of their eyes) to make sure the game follows the same rules that umpires are enforcing. But due to umpires lack of humane ability, they are allowing cheating to occur - hence they are in support of cheating by turning a blind eye, or need more advance spectacles?
I'm just twisting the plot - of which these are all the truth, as you get umpires who call boosting cheaters, but are okay with other nonsense that is going on.
Including umpire awarding of yellow/red cards, giving points away, without any public apologies for power abusing.
Some world circuit player even suggest umpires should be audited to see if any funny activity is going on in the bank account part... but ITTF does not have such investigation department for players to report any suspicious activities (ie same umpire keeps on calling the same player for serve violation - but no other umpire? it might not be money related, but what if there is grudges?)
