Filus uses Feint Long 3 which is a gripper pip.
How does it matter as to what a pro like Filus uses for a player switching for the first time to long pips ?
TOTALLY irrelevant
Feint Long 3 is more expensive compared to Chinese rubbers
First time long pips usesr should start with various inexpensive so called long pips on ITTF LARC

So I was thinking about getting an oversized blade to accomodate for the lightness that long pimple rubbers have. Id prefer it to not be too expensive. Does anyone know something around €40?
LOL
There are no oversize production blades in table tennis.
However you are correct, you need an oversized blade if you want to use rubbers deceptively named as long pimples on ITTF LARC
Manufacturers confuse everyone expecially newcomers calling semi large blades as oversized blades.

You will need to make a custom blade if you want an oversized blade

But if you're looking for an oversized chopping blades under €40, you can check out the Donic Defplay or Yasaka Sweden Defensive from TT11, but be aware they are both a lot slower and more flexible than a Ma Lin Carbon
HELLO !
Do you even know what an "oversized" blade is & what are its dimensions ?
