Medium Pips or Long Pips

Hi Pingskills!
I've got a question. How do you determine whether a rubber has long pips or medium pips? Do you measure its length? If so, how? Thanks!

Hi Kong,
On the ITTF website it mentions that Long is determined by whether the Pimple height / Pimple diameter is greater than 0.89.
In practice the long pimples can be seen by when you rub them they bend a lot more than a medium pimple or a short pimple.

Tone is in Your Fingers
There's is an old saying about guitar playing - tone is in your fingers. And If you've ever seen a really good guitarist play an old guitar then you'll understand how true that saying is. I know we go on a lot about this topic but it is so true. Once you've got yourself a decent bat, it's no longer up to the equipment, it's up to YOU!

0.89 cm?
Not cm, but if the Height of the pimple divided by the diameter of the pimple is greater than 0.89 then it is considered long.
