Hey everyone, so i came across some members talking about modified long pimples. Now i know they're illegal but i want to create one for fun playing as i got a new set of pimples. So what're the ways to modify your pimples? And this is just for a fun bat. Not competition play so lets not, start on about them being illegal and all :D

Sylicone Lubricant Spray will make your pimples super-slicky.
A very common mischeaf with the elder players being eager for a victory.

Before you ruin the pips, why not try to have fun the easiest way first? Glue the rubber to the blade, but only glue it around the edges and leave the center unglued. This creates some weird effects, while the rubber is still useable and perfectly legal if you should decide that you want to use it in competition again.

The trickiest pips steps:
1. Soak in paraffin for 1 hour
2. Clean, dry, and let settle for a couple days
3. Pour salt in between pips so only tops are exposed
4. Expose to UV light or the sun for a few days (only tips will be frictionless)
5. Glue edges only to blade

This covers just about every treatment and makes some really crazy return. It is really only accurate to control against pushes and some bump shots. Trying to chop block loops and drive become kind of futile. Best used for someone with the pip it and rip it philosophy because you will definitely get lots of setups.

Never would try this in competition, because it's too hard to control for my style. I like to chop block with varying spin, and a normal rubber is actually much better in my case.  I love goofing around with it for sure, though.

I would try aging some cheap anti like GD Guard or even 804.  These are not slick antis but if one could make them as slick as the expensive Dr N anti then one would be on to something.

Aging the tips of 755 with ultraviolet light is an interesting concept.  755 and a few other LPs are so cheap that one can afford many experiments.
