    Back in the day I have won many tournaments using rackets with volatile gas rates of well over 6. Many opposing players have been blinded (or "unsighted", as we called it in the trade), and I have pulled INSANE spin effects using slight convex rackets. All of the winnings gave me the luxury life style equaled only by drug barons and porn stars. Those were the wild days, the real wild west. I was even using rubber suppliers that are not on the LARC.
    And I would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for this damn regulator.

      Well if that shocks you, you must not have been around for The Turn of the Millennium Table Tennis Tournament in England, 1999, when Rodgar Oblevinsky used an illegal racket with a thickness of 4.06 to increase the power and distance of his shots ten fold. His accuracy and strength were unmatched, and his advantage caused him to burn holes in the tiny net in the middle of the table. Henceforth, racket thickness and net material are standardized.
      Nets are also commonly lubed up with Vaseline now before matches begin in order to avoid inflammatory friction.

    This guy drives a Vauxhall Cavalier from the early 90s, maintained to the exacting specifications as the first day of purchase, an absolutely immaculate machine: the glove compartment contains an official up to date AA road map, hand torch with spare Duracell batteries, compass, tissues, antiseptic wipes, a hi viz vest and all official documents pertaining to the vehicle. A double laminated A4 health & safety sheet is stored in every door unit and all head rests are angled and raised to Vauxhall’s own specific recommendation.
    There are 2 cassettes in the tape deck: “The Best Of The Lighthouse Family” and an audio book of “Frankenstein”
