Wie vielleicht schon bekannt ist, wird der ITTF ein Antrag vorgelegt werden, daß ein Labor einen Reibungskoeffizienten für alle im Handel befindlichen Noppen-Außen Gummis ermitteln soll mit dem Ziel, letztlich einen für die Zulassung vorgegebenen Minimalwert zu definieren.
In dem Antrag ist explizit die Rede davon, den "unvorhersehbaren" Störeffekten der jetzigen GLN den Garaus zu machen, damit wieder mehr das spielerische Können und weniger das Material entscheidet.
Wem diese gequirlte Kacke ebenfalls stinkt, der sollte sich bei der ITTF schon jetzt darüber beschweren. Ich habe an einen Herrn Odd Gustavsen (Kontakt für die Liste zugelassener Beläge), -

Zitat:
Hello,
I am very upset that again a changing of rules is under discussion with the aim to hamper the defensive players. First the lowering of the aspect ratio for pimple out rubbers than the larger ball with its lower rotation and higher inertia braught severe disadvantages for defenders. You might ask the former top player Matsushita for his opinion about the above mentioned changes.
Now a minimum friction shall be defined because some "normal" players are to dumb to understand the action of low friction pimples. Everybody with at least some knowledge about the physics of tabletennis knows that the use of low friction pimples means a restriction of possibilities to arrange the game. For the lack of susceptibility against rotation one lacks control and any option to start an active game. So the use of low friction pimples is a fair deal. In tabletennis the saying "there is no free lunch at the table" holds true, too.
If low friction pimples will become forbidden I will first try to ignore this and if this is not possible I will give up official competitions and just play in my club for fun. Additionally I will try to gather like-minded people and start an alternative league. As many older players use low friction pimples to compensate for athletic deficits due to aging there is a good for chance for an alternative league. Time to say "Good Bye" to the ITTF and its ignorant rule changers.
With best regards
