Get ready to boosters and tuners Ban (19)

| Hi Fadil, I think all the major manufacturers are coming out with tuned rubbers. I know Joola, Donic, Stiga and Butterfly have come out with some. You are right about rising prices, I payed $30 for my first sheet of Joola Energy and I now pay $47. Although prices will initially be high they will eventually get lower then remain flat as supply versus demand lowers. Regarding the making of frictionless rubber sheets I was speaking with a tournament referee this week and he said that "if the rubber is on the list then they can play with it". When I asked him about people cooking their long pips/pimples in the oven and testing the "Legal" long pips for friction he said that "the friction testing machines will only be provided to ITTF events so all I can do is rub the ball on the pips and take a best guess". I pointed out that there is nothing official about that and he agreed. So in other words I could buy a sheet of Hallmark Frustration OX, which appears to have the same pimple geometry as Original and cook it in the oven if I wanted to. Thanks, Ben |
