ITTF STARTED CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE BASTARD RUBBERS.

You get it right, indeed. There are several bastard Battle rubbers differing in sponge and amount of tackiness.
The present edition of ITTF Technical Leaflet T4 Racket Coverings dictates as follows
- It is the responsibility of the suppliers to keep their brands on the LARC by paying the fees
and maintaining the original properties of the racket covering as authorised, without alterations.

Yes, many of Chinese rubbers are now reported to differ in sponge composition and quality from a model sample as having been approved by ITTF, -- in defiance to ITTF laws. Yes, Chinese suppliers did never respect the T4 prohibition to not alter the original rubber composition. Yes, Chinese took liberties by composing and marketing derivatives a lot. . This is the reason that ITTF came out recently with a revision of the T4 document so as to discourage manufacturers from the liberties in marketing sandwich rubbers. ITTF prepared a set of new regulations as regards the use of sandwich rubbers. T4 remarkable revision is now underway.

Be happy.

Since the Chinese suppliers didn't 'respect' the first set of rules, the ITTF is going to fix it by creating another set of rules?
