How does color matter for table tennis rubber functionality ?PenHoldSandro wrote: on Friday June 3 , 2026 at 9:26 AM #1
As the title states, I'm looking for a purple long pip rubber with sponge, which my cousin, @kaist, will use for his next racket.
@kaist wants to be a chopper and likes the color purple, so right now I'm looking for equipment which ticks both checkboxes. Does anyone know about such a rubber? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!
You are not choosing some clothing for a social function
Is your cousin a pro or semi-pro player ?
If not sponge is out. OX is the ONLY best rubber for chopping for amateurs
How does he know he qualifies to be a chopper ?
Does he have the physical skills & body style / build etc to pull it off
Everyone fantasizes of being a chopper & fail & go back to bad mouthing long pips
Also , there are no "long pips" in ITTF's version of Olympic table tennis. IOC does not welcome choppers
All the pips listed on ITTF LARC are useless dysfunctional crap after the (click link >) 14 rule and regulation changes since 1977 by the ITTF to severely limit the choppers in the current 40+ mm plastic ball only era
