Palio CK531A "Blue Edition"

[Francis54]

Do some of you have informations about this rubber? Is it the same rubber as Palio CK531A, but with another sponge? Why is it not on the ITTF list? It seems that only german players play with it in Europe.

The sponge doesn't have anything to do with the difference between "Blue Edition" and the so called "Yellow Edition".
The Blue Edition is comparable to Joola Fakir and the rubbers from Dr. Neubauer.
The Yellow Edition has regular grip and is quite not so dangerous for the opponent.
The Blue Editon costs here in Germany about 30 Euro, Yello Edition about 13 Euro.

But "Blue Edition" seems to be a "prepared" rubber, and so not ITTF approved, so how to make the difference between the 2 versions?

Of course it is a prepared rubber.
But nobody can explain WHERE it is prepared. People buy it legally in a TT-Shop and don't prepare it themselves.
The company Palio declares, that they produce only one version of the rubber. So Palio and the ITTF make no difference between any versions.
Officially there exists only ONE Palio CK531A, which is approved by the ITTF.

As you said, the Blue Edition is a "german thing". :-) You don't want to know, how much we disuss this topic (wether it's legal or not). :-))

Personally you can only make a difference, if you know how a prepared long pimple rubber looks (or feels) like. But then you still have to prove, that the player has not prepared the rubber himself. That is the problem. :-)

Hello,
the firm "Gold Plam" declared , that they produce only one version of the palio ,but the non slippery version ! I saw the e-mail wiht their answer !
So it is clear ,that the "blue edition2 is not legal !

If you know ,that the firm " Gold Palm" produces only the grippy palio Ck ...,why do you allow to use it ? Are rules for nothing ?

You can find the rubber in the list, so it is allowed to play with it.

A very convincely argument !
