Bio: In case anyone is curious, the star of this video is Dr. Torsten Küneth of the Equipment Committee of the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF). He was, amongst various things, pivotal in authoring the specifications and test procedures for non-celluloid table tennis balls and coordinating the ITTF approval process for them. He is a mathematician by academic background and writes crime fiction in his spare time. True story.

All of the winnings gave me the luxury life style equaled only by drug barons and porn stars. Those were the wild days, the real wild west. I was even using rubber suppliers that are not on the LARC.

Well if that shocks you, you must not have been around for The Turn of the Millennium Table Tennis Tournament in England, 1999, when Rodgar Oblevinsky used an illegal racket with a thickness of 4.06 to increase the power and distance of his shots ten fold. His accuracy and strength were unmatched, and his advantage caused him to burn holes in the tiny net in the middle of the table. Henceforth, racket thickness and net material are standardized. Nets are also commonly lubed up with Vaseline now before matches begin in order to avoid inflammatory friction. Table tennis might seem like a joke to some people, but I've seen spectators spontaneously combust during matches. Stay safe out there, friends.

[@Azothify]

funny enough. testing for 'gasses' isn't so much as it's finding bubbles. More so that it's checking if the rubber is porous or not. A more porous rubber means it's going to cause more bounce and give higher control due to the material being more yielding, which gives a slight but noticeable advantage in a high speed game like table tennis. As for glossiness. table tennis is in a well lit room, and there have been examples of reflecting overhead light into an opponents eyes while serving to make it harder to follow the ball.
