I don't understand this discussion at all, because I thought

1. Dead rubber is same as anti (which is legal at all levels of play)
2. If I show up to play again with my dead but fully ITTF legal 40 year old Sriver or Mark V (that was hidden in my attic by my spouse so I cannot play ping pong, along with some dead bodies), what rules prevent me ? Is there a minimum friction requirement for anti as well, just like for pips ? Maybe there is but how do you test it in a low level tournament (where most of these dead rackets are more likely to show up than at an international event).

Unless this is a new backdoor way of whining about anti


I think this is the right way to think about (or play against) dead rubber. There is however the question-is dead rubber unreactive to spin, but actually faster to hit with than anti (realizing characterizing all antis are the same is a fallacy of overgeneralization)? I do not know, but I think ancient mark V would have at least some different characteristics than anti.

I confess that I did it before. I brought a pre-made racket to the club on my first day there, everyone just didn't like me :rofl: That was a $20 racket and it was sold for $2 as a clearance item in the local sports store. That was the best table tennis racket I had at that time, the other one I got was $10 and sold for $2 as well but it doesn't have a ITTF label on it while the one I brought to the club has it.

That's not a happy day to me. But in fact, I didn't beak any rule.

If I play with someone using similar racket, I will be nice to him. He didn't do anything wrong, and it is a good chance to test my fundamental skills.
