Some Chinese pips out OX rubbers may be available in large sizes, bu almost no Chinese inverted rubber is more than 165 mm

Many Butterfly & Tibhar rubbers come in 180 mm size but I have ni idea why

Because Butterfly does not have any blades made for away from the table choppers because their maximum blade size seems to 165 mm
Also Butterfly (& Stiga) only makes dumb blades (both sides of the blade have identical layer composition) .

Actually no major manufacturer makes large or bigger smart blades (both sides of the blade with different layer composition) for away from the table choppers.

Also Butterfly & Stiga still only make red & black rubbers
Stcking to tradition for no obvious reason is a major marketing disaster
Color is mostly a vanity maketing gimmick but Butterfly & Stiga have chosen to ignore it.
Noone is exactly giving medals to Buttefly & Stiga for sticking with traditional colors
Because Tibhar is laughing all the way to the bank with green grass Dtec rubber even though no Indian women uses it.
All top Indian women seem to use red grass Dtec

Blade thickness chart

Rule 2.4.1 The racket may be of any size, shape or weight but the blade shall be flat
and rigid.

Rule 2.4.2 At least 85% of the blade by thickness shall be of natural wood; an adhesive
layer within the blade may be reinforced with fibrous material such as carbon
fibre, glass fibre or compressed paper, but shall not be thicker than 7.5% of
the total thickness or 0.35mm, whichever is the smaller.
