Material used to make Indonesian long pips

As most of you may not know for sure, pips rubbers listed on ITTF LARC are 200% functionally useless in the 40+ plastic ball ONLY era. This section is for discussion about older rubbers from 38 mm ball era & 40- celluloid ball ere that may be still more functionally useful in the 40+ plastic ball era than rubbers designed for 40+ plastic ball ONLY era. This section also discusses new rubbers that are not listed on ITTF LARC but are functionally superior to rubbers currently listed on current ITTF LARC. Contrary to popular myth ITTF is NOT the sole supreme authority on table tennis & you are free to use these super functional rubbers as you wish. The question of who will play against you is a just only a matter of who are your true friends in table tennis & not ITTF rules or regulations especially at lower levels & especially in tournaments not affiliated with ITTF (incorrectly referred to as “unsanctioned” tournaments)

I chatted with an Indonesian dealer who sells long pips on Shopee website etc
They told me the Indonesian long pips are not made of rubber but are made of Silicone material .

Shopee is a horrible website.
It does not work outside South East Asain & few South American countries

You may want to use (click link) Tokopedia

I have not bought from these dealers but you get to at least look unlike Shopee where even viewing is blockedm which seems so stupid
Shipping is probably high too & I do not know if tariffs are high for Indonesia (I doubt it)

I guess at least silicone feels more natural than saline :D ;)
