I'm glad you're happy, while most people are very annoyed and upset by all this.
Just because you (and perhaps Adham) feel this is for the benefit of the sport, does not make it so. Did the change from 38mm to 40mm really have positive impact for our sport?
If this is indeed the purpose of the new ball, why was the ITTF not open about it and discuss is publicly, instead of sneaking it in under some unsubstantiated theory that celluloid is dangerous and becoming rare, and plastic is the solution? Why not delay the change to the plastic ball until an acceptable alternative is found?

I am a tireless gospeller of a slower ball. It is utterly necessary that we have play more controllable. And now we can expect much longer rallies with the new DHS larger sphere of 40.3mm. At the long end, Adham Sharara did responsed to my many written submissions to change the ball in weight and size. He ultimately validated a larger ball, so wise of him. I am really happy now, after having been reported the two-halve ball by DHS would produce a sound much like the samples of celluloid material.., So happy, so delighted to hear such a good news.,,,, Bigger ball is a great benefit to the sport of table tennis. Yes. |
