Banned bat rubbers From 1st July 2008 a number of long-pimpled rubbers were banned by the ITTF. The ETTA recommended to local leagues a year’s “cooling off” period. York agreed to this so the ban came into effect on 1st July 2009. Attached is a link to the ITTF list of authorised rubbers, which indicates those that are banned.
