I am confused about wide pips and anti.
I am not even sure if some of the wide pips are really wide pips because they seem to act like slim (flex) pips and vice versa
And some rubber claim to be anti and they act like spinny inverted and vice versa

Are you talking about medium pimples Dr Neubauer KO and Chinese "anti-spins" Friendship 804 and Tuttle Prevention Arc? Medium pimples like KO, although technically wide pimples, but their aspect ratio is at the upper limit of wide pimples and due to low friction they are close to frictionless type slim (flex) pimples. As for anti-spins that are not anti-spins, they are simply not anti-spins. Friendship and Tuttle sell slow inverted rubbers, which they called anti-spins to increase sales.
