Below are the 11 rule / regulation changes that were passed by the robotNazi controlled ITTF since 1983 that fully or partially aimed at limiting the pips.

1. 1983 : Initial ban on long pips by setting Maximum Allowed pip length at 2.0 mm
2. 1983 : Two color rubbers (Red / Black) rule
3. 1995 : Repeal of Speed glue ban (within months of implementation)
4. 1998 : Durban Aspect Ratio Reduction Regulation
5. 2000 : Ball size increase from 38 mm to 40 mm
6. 2004 : Pip Distribution Density Reduction Regulation
7. 2008 : FPB (Frictionless pips ban)
8. 2008 : Fake ban on boosters to fool the IOC
9. 2014 : 40+ ball change from celluloid to plastic
10. 2022 : Total official ban on 40 celluloid balls
11. 2024 : Rule change proposal rejection for women’s equality
12. 2024 : Increased maximum allowed rubber thickness from 4.00 mm to 4.05 mm to protect illegal (potentially criminal) boosting

One may ask : Why would ITTF want to oppress choppers ? It makes no sense

All the councils & committees of ITTf and its National associates suchas USATT, DTTB, CTTA, JTTTA ect are totally controlled by robotNazis .
They hate the chopper nuisance and would love to ban all pips & anti completely.

But they can't . Why ? Because if ITTF bans pips / anti, they will defintely start their own association. just as the robotNazis themselves threatened to form their own association in 1995 when speed glue ban was imposed by the ITTF (ITTF repealed the ban within a matter of months)
ITTF of course cannot lose their TOTAL & absolute control over table tennis and especially lose Olympic funding & IOC could even expel table etnnis Olympics like they did to boxing and replace it with pole dancing (this is NOT a joke . Pole dancing is making a serioud bid)

So ITTF is doing the next best option. Keep pips & anti but keep imposing maximum limits and render pips & anti totally useless & dysfunctional.
This is why there had been these above 111 rule and regulation changes

Had no idea.
Most of us new players have no idea that ITTF is this corrupt.
