Why ITTF has not banned abnormal rubbers ?

It is very frustrating that ITTF still has not banned abnormal rubbers like pips and anti. We all know that ONLY non-athletes use abnormal rubbers to compensate for lack of skill and only normal rubbers users are honest athletes. Even otherwise we normal rubber users are in vast majority and must raise our voice in the strongest manner to get these abnormal rubbers banned. We need to keep the sport pure and it is hard for spectators to understand why good players miss easy shots (abnormal rubber user who cheat by treating their pips with chemicals with expoxy etc) .   It is same as is in some countries where less qualified students get admission to colleges or get jobs because of their nationality. This practice must stop. It is as if we are afraid of these abnormal freaks. It is time someone stood up and spoke the  truth and not be afraid of being controversial. What will these freaks do ?  Quit the sport ? I can only hope so.  Please sign this petition to ITTF to ban all these abnormal rubbers 

Your so-called abnormal rubbers existed long before your normal rubbers had even been accidentally invented. Are you sure you have your normal and abnormal terms correct? 

That's as close to trolling as it gets. Could be used as a training material for Site Moderation 101: How to Identify Trolls on your Site.

It would be incredibly boring if we all were two-winged loopers. The different styles is what makes TT (intellectually) interesting. 

Have a rough loss recently against a pips user?

Damned, you made my day :))) kakapo wrote: Excuse me but if these above players are so skilled, why can't they use normal rubbers and win like other decent players who don't cheat  [QUOTE=kakapo] Probably you lack the necessary skills to defeat the players who use non inverted rubbers and you belong to the category of players who cry each time they lose when playing such players. To be honest, they start crying even before the match begins :))) Also, for your information, before inverted, players used pimple rubbers.......those competition still exist and are called hard bat. If these abnormal rubber freaks use trickery how can I beat them ?  We all know they put epoxy on their rubbers also but ITTF does nothing [QUOTE=kakapo] But I agree with you that "threated rubbers" must be banned but...don't forget to ban also boosted rubbers......including tenergies..... What is "threated rubber" ?   And what do you mean "tenergy" ? Why ban tenergy ?

I smell troll!

I hope it is Rick. It's been a long time! He was fun.

IIRC he was actually about 1500. Certainly can understand why he'd be so frustrated by the existence of non-inverted rubbers.

For those who complaint about my style and rubbers (modern defence twiddler with LP), I tell them : take my bat and we will see if you don't need skills and moving your legs:)))

Troll aside in all honestly. Anything less than usatt2150 inverted vs pip is going to be boring to spectator who have no knowledge of table tennis. All they see is the inverted miss some and the pip can't defend some. If that's the point the OP is getting through I understand. 

As to any 2 1800ish inverted rubbers players can put on a show to the general public. He does have a point if he wants to promote tt. I doubt he really meant that tho.

Playing against pips or anti isnt hard at all.... that's what practice is for. Don't see why or even in what mindset you made this thread. Waste of everyone's time tbh
