Lion rubber products by @Sing Wo Sports Co*, the oldtimer manufacturing company residing in Hong Kong.

Some weird materials are now used by LION anti rubbers giving enormous damping effect on the ball. The novelty sponge is feeling solid, rigid and non elastic. It is rather a plastic material for all given evidence. We strongly suspect legality of this material. We strongly suggest the material should be re-tested by ITTF comissioned laboratory.

I am not argumentative here but wonder if it is really mandatory to be rubber ??????
