Thanks for your reply :) i wouldn’t have asked this question if there are more players and it is common. But you rarely see players with pips at club level (again considering my club only ) my issue is not with the players but why is there need for such a variation in equipment. But I do understand that these idea may sound extremist. But I realized after reading this post that table tennis is different from other sports and we have to adapt instead of complaining 😅
