The minimal level of friction is now 25 micro Newton. Glue Ban (Glues containing VOC) The ITTF site says "1st September 2008 is the date agreed by the ITTF Board of Directors at the 2006 Liebherr World Team Championships in Bremen when the use of glues, which contain Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s), will no longer be allowed for affixing racket coverings to blades." Apparently only water based glues / boosters are allowed, however if you go
to the ITTF site, currently as at 17 June 2008, there are NO glues approved. 2007 Player Registration / Renewal / Practice Pass Form CLICK HERE to download the 2007 Player Registration Form for NEW players or those re-registering.
