Rubber Ban (frictionless long pimples)

The ITTF has banned all frictionless long pimpled rubber from 1 July 2008. 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.
