Spin is definitely not a real selling point for TT. It's the problem. Excessive spin is what makes 75% of the people who try it say, forget this.
Spin is the most distinguishing cahracteric of table tennis aamong all rackest sports.
Creating & solving diverse spins is the biggest fun & attraction for table tennis.
Spin is what get smost players addicted to table tennis.
So if you do not enjot that table tenni is not the sport for you.
The real problem is not spin but top spins at excessive speeds created by illegally boosted & spein glued rackets.
The speed should be reduced by reducing the maximum allowed rubber thickness from 4.05 mm down to say 3.5 mm
This will slow the sport down for longer rallies for spectators as well as all players by creating a somewhat more of level playing field fo defenders liek choppers.
Oh I am sorry I forgot, you do not want long pips , nackspin & choppers. My fault. You only want exceeeive speeds & spins with top spin. I understand
