Be warned that LARC seems to change at will
It does not seem to be every 3 months as before

So it is like buyer beware.
If you want to play in the ITTF's top spin only Olympic table tennis domain , check the LARC before you order a rubber.
Then again, that rubber could get de-approved any time LOL

So check the LARC before you drive to a tournament 100s of miles or fly to a tournament 1000s of miles.

There is no clear official statement from ITTF on this

DMA (Der Material Spezialist) seems to have all its wide stiff pips & slim flex pips in all 6 colors

Sunflex spinny inverted is also available in all 6 colors
But DMS Spinny inverted is only available in 5 colors (No pink)
