Anyone tried this new Dawei Saviga Dark Devil rubber

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)

Aspect Ratio 1.8 mm / 0.8 mm = 2.25
That sounds insane

Surey works very well for classical defense due to slim pips & high aspect ratio.

You mean "slimmer" pips :D
I ask because only ITTF LARC pips are either slim pips or wide pips no
This rubber is not on current ITTF LARC
