I don't see this rubber on ITTF LARC listing of July-September 2023
When was this dropped ?

I don't use short pips but I tried to, using this on my forehand.

I think this is a great rubber if you are power attack player because the pips are huge

Interesting hing is that the PDD (pip distributiong density) also seems high (pips closer together), which will giv emore spin
Another interesting thing is that the pip tops are rough . which will also give more spin

So I never understood such a design because the pips are huge. (Larger diameter pips are faster).

Overall is a good power attack (strong side or forehand) rubber with lots of speed for flat kills & punch blocks when contact angle is vertical
But this probably can produce some spin also because of loser pips & rough pip tops.

I think Sanwei probably dropped it because they did not want to play licensing fees due to possibly low sales.
But would probbaly sell like hotcakes if they released a new verison with smoother (glassy) pip tops instead of rough, because the pisp are huge for speed

I heard it was removed from ITTF LARC in October 2022
