Real vs fake long pips

Post by Clara Yvonne »

I was just wondering how to tell the difference between real & fake long pips

I heard there are lots of useless fake long pips on the market these days

This is easy
All rubbers listed on ITTF LARC as "long" are fake long pips
In fact there is no such thing as "long" pips or "short" pips in ITTF TableTennis
In ITTF's version of top spin only Olympic Table tennis , there are only slim flex pips and wide stiff pips
ITTF deceptively calls "slim" pips as "long" pips to mislead the clueless chopper fool.

Real long pips exist only outside ITTF LARC
