So as you see it's a long process and must
have general support in order to be accepted. You should start with
your idea at your National Association level.
I thank you for your interest and your input and I wish you a very
Happy New Year.

Hi Adham,
It appears that the recent rule changes have been made to
enhance the excitement for spectators (11 point games), to produce
longer rallies (40mm ball) and to reduce the perception of unforced
errors (new service rule). I would propose that the ITTF consider
banning long-pips. In all other racket sports, the equipment is
the same. The general public that we are trying to attract
wonders why, what appears to be a normal return, is missed.
Matches should be won by skill and not deception. While this may
not be a huge problem at the Pro Tour level, it is definitely a
problem to the non professionals. Why not keep the equipment
uniform and have matches decided by skill alone.
Cheers,
Wayne
