As you may or may not know, ITTF no longer uses 3 month approval dates.
They approve & de-approve rubbers on random dates.

The burden of proof is on the player to make sure your rubber is approved TODAY and had not been de-approved
If you go to a tournamnet & if the umpire checks today's LARC on his mobile phone & doe snot see your rubber listed there , you are out of luck

Anyway FWIW here are the new slim pips rubbers (ika long pips)

Chulong rubber
Is this by the Australian player Chulong Nie?
Or TOTALLY unrelated?
