I see a business opportunity - someone in Europe should import a bale of this Indonesian stuff and sell it.. There definitely seems to be quite a bit of interest, and a market for it. At the very least it'd annoy Igor..
Iskandar

Iskandar,
You are in academia. Do you write academic research papers without giving credit to others ?

This idea of distributing real "long" pimples in Europe was posted scores of times in all ITTF worship forums but was promptly deleted. Now you post it as if it is your idea LOL
This may not be 100% exactly plagiarism but but yet do not have the decency to give credit.
Because I know you read other forums & also post under many sock puppet names

Reach aren't Indonesian.

In all fairness t IsandarI don't think Iskandar was referring specifically to Reach which is made in China
Iskandar was referrimg to similar long pimples from Indonesia

But Iskandar is right. There is a massive business opportunity for real "long" pimples regardless of which country it is made.
But it will probably too expebsive to make them.
That is why it makes sense to make them in China, Korea or Indonesia etc (Asia)

The big problem to import is that people living in these countries doesn't speaks English so it's very difficult to comunicat with them and more for a non native English speaking person like me.

Years ago asked Iskandar by P. M. at the fòrum to buy for
me long pips and he agree but weeks first and month passed and never send me nothing, always excuses to no send the pips....

Why am I not surprised

It is pretty sad about Indonesia because I am not sure why they do not want to sell outside the country.

I contacted one of the dealers who advertised on Shopee. They agreed to send a couple of £2 rubbers but wanted £40 for shipping.
The price was not the pronlem but I did not feel comfortable with the dealer.
It was probably ok.
But I did not order because Rockaphish said these rubber were leaking oil literally.
I don't think treated ptps are ethical because then there is not much differnce from you & a booster cheat.

10s of 1000s of players are booster cheats but if a handful of players cheat by treating pips, the booster cheats force their ITTF puppets to change more rules & regulations.
If the booster cheats say "Jump" the ITTF does not ask why but they just say "How high"

The problem is that people outside these countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, Phillipines) cannot even take a look at Shopee sites let alone order.
I can even understand if you cannot order outside these countries but not even being able to view these sites is EXTREMELY stupid. Not sure why they do that. BTW this is not for just table tennis items but for any item on Shopee

If you try to go to Shopee , a login link pops up . It said you can also login with Google or Facebook but that did not work either.
I also tried to VPN form many other countries including these 3 cointries but same issue.

Goto https://shopee.com and try to goto any one the country sites on the bottom.
They all take you to a login page

Mybe you have better luck from where you are

I asked Iskandar the same thing to too.

Iskandar as usual accused me of being a troll and Alex deleted my post

I was able to take a look at the Dragons Tail rubber
Click this link after switching VPN ro Singapore

This rubber can be aligned vertically or horizontally (it has logo on two sides & you can glue it with pips vertically or horizontally).
But I an mot sure if this any good because The Aspect Ratio is only 1.2 (Height 3 mm divided by diameter 2 mm)
