It was informative, but seeing as it was so obviously scripted, I think they could have added some suspense using close-to-threshold readings, pointed questions about boosting, and maybe some footage of the ITTF enforcement arm in their riot gear.

But that would be infringing on player's privacy, bringing table tennis (well at least the ITTF) into bad repute, and against the handbook of match officials, or so a friend of mine was told. |

They could have used a fictitious player instead! I thought some of the most interesting parts were that Simon Gauzy uses Rakza 7, and apparently it’s not that thick. Also, that his blade is a Sanwei M8. OK, I made that last bit up. Because the ITTF wouldn’t.

They claim to be able to test for boosting - and I have said this before - they can only catch bad boosting, ie boosting with a material containing VOCs or boosting badly applied so that the rubber is no longer flat, or boosting with rubber that ends up too thick. So they put a gloss on that, then measure the gloss  They also still do not have a test for the minimum friction of pimples out. |
