Just a quick note about pips. There are about 17 or pip design parameters But the primary parameters that differentiate the two primary pip types is NOT the length , when ITTF banned long pips in 1977 at the Birmingham BGM , they set the maximum allowed pip length for any & all pips at 2.00 mm. ...

So this is somewhat confusing. because what exactly are "long" pips as of today in 2024 then

So if they were banned according to you , why were they banned in 1977, 1983 & 1998 and so on

Are any long pips available today

Of late I have been hearing quite a bit about "slim" pips and "wide" pips
I have never heard of that
