Pips players need to get over their excessively unhealthy obsession with their rubbers being ITTF approved.
You need to first understnd that as soon as a pips out rubber becomes effective, robotNazis will complain loud to the robotNazi controlled ITTF, who will immediately step in and ban that rubber. ITTF will manufacture some bizarre excuses but they know it really does not matter because they know pips players cannot & will not do anything about it anyway.

I am strongly against cheating without the knowledge of approval from both your oppoennt & your opponeny by not showing your racket or treating your rubber agisnt Rule 2.4.7/

However if you show your racket to your opponent beforehand and if your opponent refuses to play you using sorry excuses such as that it is not on ITTF LARC (while on the other hand they most likely violate Rule 2.4.7 by spoosting or spin gluing with zero chemcial testing by ITTF to detect this), you know who your your freinds are & who the real cheats are in table tennis

LOL
This is very true.
Almost all (long) pips players are either clueless or are in denial trying to convince themselves that ITTF is a corruption free organization controlled by fair minded officials who believe in diversity of playing styles. The pips players are the laughing stock & a pathetic sad joke of the tabletennis world.
