From the 1/7-08 it will be forbidden to play with non-friction long pimples in international tournaments in most cases it will be forbidden national as well there are a few countries that will allow it for a while longer.
What do you think about this new rule? Is it a rule that will improve the game or not?
Among the top players internationally it’s not so many players who use these kind of rubbers personally I only know of 2 Fabian Åkerström SWE and Amelie Solja GER I probably forget someone but those 2 are the best.

But what will happen with all the players that just play for fun who use these rubbers? What will they play with instead?
Can someone tell me why they forbid these kinds of rubbers?
My personal thinking in that question is that it is because of economical reasons, the big companies in table tennis want to sell normal pimples instead, they have lost a lot of money the last 5 years cause of the non friction pimples.
I hope you readers will tell me what you think about this.

I believe you have reached a conclusion close to the truth since some suppliers of rubber has contacted ITTF Equipment Committee to ban frictionless rubbers.
Citat from Mr. Odd Gustavsen from Equipment Committee ITTF:
"Det ble vedtatt av Board of Directors i Bremen i 2006 at vi skulle bli av med treated eller friksjonløse belegg.
Bakgrunnen er spillere og leverandører som ba oss om å gjøre dette. Det tok litt tid å finne noen som kunne måle friksjonen på nubbene."
Maybe players need more practice instead of new restictions.
