She likes the pips the best around 2nd week, and around 4th week, the pips will start breaking.
Of course we talking high level player, with 40+ hours of hitting a week.
So 160 hours to kill a pip is a bit fast, but not unnormal.
if we take 45 days, it is more around 200 hours.
She hasn’t found a pip that can last 2 months yet.
Maybe for you, old = 160 hours of play? if you play 2 hours a week, that is 80 weeks, so 1.5 years old for you?
But for her, it is only 30~40 days old and I’m sure no different to Manika.
So unless you spoken to Manika, please stop making assumptions or fake news.
