Saw Carl Prean play here in the late 70 s  early 80 s  against waldner in a sponsored tournament I looked at his blade and he played with pimples called  LINTEC  SWING  I aquired a sheet and it is the most disruptive pips I ever played with.

you are welcome. And by the way that rubber company was out of business years ago. I found my Swing rubber sometime last year and it is in great condition .
 
The problem with this rubber as I remember clearly was that the pips fell out on a regular basis.

I heard from; Robert Roberts (USA Rated player, over 2500) while he was playing in England, he played against Carl. Robert think that he is one of the best pip player ever played ... I may believe that.

I was a junior at the same time as Carl, he actually made it to world no 18 (men) whilst he was still a junior. His pimples were made by Lentec, not Lintec as previously stated.
The Older I get, The better I was.

carl had a freakish looking style but he was a good player did not like his style at first but when I saw him dismantle Robert Earl (our best player) with such disdain I gave him his respact.
