Pimples showing on Chinese rubbers...

Hi guys, see I have a Skyline 3 and my cousin has Mercury 2. Thing is that both has visible pips from the get-go. Are these pips normal for these rubbers? What do they mean?

Pimples showing through the topsheet? Could be wear, could be that the rubber was stretched during application, could be low QC standards for regular Chinese manufactured rubbers. Mercury 2 in particular is pretty cheap and the poor QC of commercial grade DHS rubbers have long been a discussed topic on the internet

I see, is it anything to worry about though? Like quality of shots or whatnot?

Show some pics. Its hard to tell without seeing the rubbers.

Stretch is most likely. It's hard to roll flat without stretch when you're enthusiastic or nervous about it

It was NOT this bad

Looks like its stretched for the most part but you also got some wear markings from the contact spot. Nothing to worry about
