Ban of frictionless long pimpled rubbers

The ITTF did ban all frictionless long pimpled rubbers as from 01 July 2008.

This includes all our seven long pimpled rubbers as well - as - all frictionless long pimples from other manufacturers.

The "Minimum Friction Level" of 25 milli Newton established by ITTF is so high that only pimpled-out rubbers with total friction have been homologated after 01 July 2008 (the friction level concerns both the surface and the side of the pimples).
