What do you mean NEW ?
The Aspect Ratio(AR) was reduced by ITTF from 1.3 to 1.1 in 1998 to turn long pips into medium pips by bringing it closer to the short pips AR limit of 0.89& it has not changed since.
Only difference is that there are 8 more rule & regulation changes since 1998 to further restrict pips.

Mykonos96 ,
Does it really even matter ?
ITTF fraudulently keeps calling useless social pips as long pips in their LARC doucment

Long pips were banned in 1983

ITTF has been very successful in sweeping this truth under the rug for more than 42 years
