Here is the current approval status of Yasaka Phantom
Take note of new ITTF column called OX version allowed (or not)
The symbol ~ is wrong as shown on LARC

The 1998 chopper massacre was actually the second chopper massacre
The first one was in 1977 when all long pips were banned at the Birmingham BGM of 1977

Yes there were only 3 or 4 Chinese choppers that were the nuisance issue for robotNazis but Liang Geliang was a massive nuisance

There were about 12 or 13 pro choppers (men & women) that were massacred with the 1998 Durban change but the 1977 change was also huge because all long pips were themselves banned (but ITTF has successfully brainwashed the choppers ever since then that long pips still exist in ITTF) & Liang Geliang's highest level of play (which actually caused the Hungarian team to call Chinese prime minister Chiu Enlai to complain & have the Chinese not play Liang Geliang , according to Table tennis historian Tim Boggan in his book)
