People you need to understand the seemingly subtle but functionally enormous differences between these various rubber types
Not all ITTF unapproved or ITTF deapproved rubbers are unacceptable for use in non-ITTF tournaments
When I say non-ITTF, I mean any ITTF event or an event held under an ITTF affiliate such as USATT or TTAustralia or JTTAA etc
The use of the word "sanctioned" is quite misleading because it makes it sound like ITTF (or its affiliates) the sole supreme authority on table tennis, which of course is not true. You do not need ITTF's permission to use an ITTF deapproved or an ITTF unapproved rubber in you basement or at you local club or a tournament not under the ITTF.
But the robotNazi controlled ITTF (& its affiliates) love to use the word "sanctioned" to make it sound like you are committing a crime by playing in an unsanctioned tournament, whereas the simple fact remains that the only players who are committing crimes are those using spoosters or spin glues that are unapproved under ITTF rule 2.4.7 & USATT RIP 3.1.4 & also illegal under common law as applied to hazardous chmicals as mandated by ITTF (not me)
Not all ITTF unapproved or ITTF deapproved rubbers are illegal under common law. But only rubbers (almost always spinverted) that have been spoosted & spin glued are illegal under common law, according to ITTF (not me) . On the other hand treated pips are ITTF unapproved but not illegal like spoosted rubbers.
A ITTF deappoved rubber does not mean it is unacceptable. There are scores of perfectly fine rubbers that are totally acceptable to ITTF rules & regulations but ITTF disapproved them because the manufacturer did not pay the yearly licensing fees to the ITTF.
Unapproved vs unacceptable vs illegal (criminal) vs deapproved rubbers

Re: Unapproved vs unacceptable vs illegal (criminal) vs deapproved rubbers
Very good point.
Boosting is unapproved under ITTF rule 2.4.7 & USATT RIP 3.1.4 & also illegal under comon law as applied to hazardous chmeicals as mandated by ITTF (not me)
But I had no idea if was actually due to health reasons by ITTF & illegal under under common law
I was confused because players who boost try to confuse others by trying to justify that non-VOC chemicals ar approved.
But ITTF never ever said that. Any modification of rubber (whether with VOC or non-VOC) is unapproved per ITTF rule 2.4.7 & USATT RIP 3.1.4 & also illegal under comon law as applied to hazardous chmeicals as mandated by ITTF (not me)

All these probleme come because ITTF has been double dealing the players & the IOC for so longjackson 3d wrote: ↑August 23rd, 2023, 4:06 am Very good point.

They want the IOC to believe that they have fixed the health issue with the 2008 fakes nooster ban and al the while misleading players claiming that this is just a performance issue.
The joke thickness test gauges are a proof of this
They came up with some Enez tester years ago. This is almost as funny as stores using fake video cameras LOL
