Unless ITTF bans long pips and anti like yesterday , this problem will get much worse
I talked to many players who left & they stated this as the only reason they left

This should not surprise anyone.
ITTF was approaching all this the wrong way such as changing ball size or starting TTX etc
None of those worked.
ITTF should face the truth that pips and anti are the real cancers in the sport
