Thanks for the compliment--I feel like expressing your passion is unrelated to skill, and at least for me I do it as much for the match situation/to calm down as I do for a big point

thank you! I'm trying to work on being more aggressive this year. I play in Seattle and this was the first event of the first day of the tournament where I played with my normal setup (day 1 was just hardbat) so I definitely had to get used to the high altitude

hello ammu, I believe we know each other.

Thanks a ton man!! I don't pull it out often but since I lob down shorter players so much you never know😅

@@graveman5704 Who are you?

@big_pip_energy_tt Well you executed it very well!

thanks for stopping by Parth! somehow I've played your brother twice and Pradyun twice but not you since 2023 open😅

Thanks for watching! I use the Der-materialspezialist The Wall Carbon Blade, Yasaka Rising Dragon II (max sponge) on my black side, and Tibhar Grass Dtecs (no sponge) on my red side.

@big_pip_energy_tt thanks

Hi! Thanks for watching! Both me and Akhil are using Tibhar grass d.tecs with no sponge

@ what blade? I forgot to ask. I’m using neubauer texa carbon and desperado reloaded ox. I’d like to try dtecs but reviews say it’s difficult to control. Thanks.

@olivero-j1r no prob! I'm using the der-materialspezialist the wall carbon. How's the texa? been thinking of trying it but just concerned about the feeling of a hybrid blade. Also, how often do you have to replace desperado? I tried it and pips started breaking in about 2 months😬

@ I like the texa carbon. I have D80 on FH and feels good and fast. I’ve have the green reloaded since August and no pip break yet. I have a lot of blades MJ, HL5, Joola hybrid, Freitas, etc but I found the right one texa carbon with d80. Reloaded is good and I’m planning to stick with it. My EJ is just kicking in lol. I just noticed your shots with dtecs sometimes pops up. Dtecs lasts longer than reloaded?

​@@olivero-j1r it lasts really long--about 8 months to a year. It's somewhat hard to control, which explains why my shots pop up, but what it makes up for in that department and disruption it makes up for in reversal and consistency

I have leg disabilities (congenital vertical talus in both feet, more severe on my right) that prevent me from doing that so easily. With hardbat, there's also the issue of confidence--I'm just not good enough to consistently step around and forehand on serve. Thanks for the advice, though!

@big_pip_energy_tt well my fault, sorry

@@speedyspin ur good, didn't mean to shut down your valid criticisms

I don't think Justin is world level but in the US he's definitely one of the best players in the country for his age group

Good sport? They're not illegal...

​@big_pip_energy_tt to be honest, I've noticed that some players become upset when losing to pip style

That'd be me--I have a few foot problems that prevent me from moving as much as most players, so I have to sacrifice where I can

@big_pip_energy_tt Oh, okay! Well, you play really well for not moving around as much! You have a wide variety of forehand and backhand moves that are really effective. I'm just a beginning player and have been watching the pros and how they move around so well. I watched this clip and that stood out to me. Thanks for posting it!

@@jeromycaballero91 thank you so much! I really appreciate the support! Since you're a beginning player, I should clarify that this is a different format from standard play: the paddles have no sponge and the scoring is different as well. Most of my other videos are standard play though!

@big_pip_energy_tt I was wondering about that. I hadn't seen the term before. Thanks for clarifying!

does dan seemiller still compete? I was thinking currently active players

I'm running out of ideas lmao

hahahaha guilty as charged😅I hope you're as big a fan of the match!

that's what I'm saying this guy loops almost everything long lmao

Yup--for lighter under spin, short pips is great for lifting and looping it. I'm not super sure what happened in game 3--I think feel like things just started clicking for me partway through game 2

Thank you so much!! I really like uploading matches where I play against unique styles--just adds on to the weirdness. And don't worry--I'm by no means the best, but I am one of the most aggressive long pips players I know😅

As the level increases, long pips players have to slowly develop a backhand to keep up along with their pips skills--mine is admittedly not at the level I'd like it to be

keep practicing, you'll get used to them😊 alternatively, if you can't beat em join em😂

@big_pip_energy_tt You're right, bro. More practicing will enhance my ability to handle long pip players.

Thanks!

Thank you so much!!

Thanks a ton! yeah I got really lucky with that one, I was super nervous and was really just hoping for unforced errors

Thanks Kyle! I think I got caught up in the heat of the moment, especially after going up 5-2 game 5--I was shocked that I was doing that well and wasn't able to think super clearly about Vinay's tactical adjustment. I think as I get more experience and confidence that problem'll go away. I know I didn't warm up with you that day, but I have you to thank for most of my anti spin experience, Kyle!

Thanks! I'm using tibhar Grass dtecs ox right now. I think you're right--I was a little too hasty trying to finish the match, and should've kept my cool and played more patiently.

Great match! Vinay is a strong anti spin player.. what blade are you using?

@@amiramidi1414 thank you! I'm using the der materialspezialist the wall carbon.

Thanks! Yeah pretty much, open singles (mainly Svetlana and Alexander) and juniors (ahan) took a ton out of me mentally

U18, but he's been closely contested by the number 2--just hit usatt 2100

Thank you!

I see, thanks for the feedback. I've found that with my occasional attacks with long pips, dtecs has much more durability than any other pip, so I've been using it to save money. Is there a pip you'd recommend that blocks shorter while still being durable enough? I've tried the dr. neubauer desperado reloaded and punch, and the dermaterialspezialist kamikaze.

@big_pip_energy_tt Giant dragon Talon national team is the best for blocking at the table in my opinion .Hellfire X seems to be working all right as far as the new pips are concerned ,.....from the cheap, classic , Chinese pips Bomb Talent works fine but it is terrible with the no spin ball, however, once you play with it for monts it becomes better and the emergency chops or the ones you use to vary the service return are very good ...

@@sitobroullon5261 thanks for the recommendations! I think I'll wait until after the US open (next week) to switch but I'll keep these in mind

@big_pip_energy_tt Yes, Grass is durable but expensive for what if offers,.....you use a carbon blade so you better use a slower pip for short blocks consistently, not the sporadic short block here and there with Grass,which people do with fast blades,.....we, as blockers , need consistency more than speed,....better not live in the fantasy of fast blades,.... you got a good level and can improve further for sure,... good luck !!

lmaoo thanks, at some point it just becomes subconscious

a lot haha, he doesn't actually come to ping pong club meetings often though so we mostly play at spttc

Thanks for the input--that's why I'm trying to increase my level and get better, I agree that better players can overwhelm me pretty easily if they're used to long pips

😂see I tried that the first time we played and the score was reversed. Besides, it might help him in the long run--perhaps he'll train the Central Kitsap kids for how (not) to beat me at HS championships this year. Thanks for watching and commenting Henry!

Yup--although it should be mentioned that while Armando, Diana and I are all inverted/LP, Ming uses hardbat (no sponge short pips) on his red side to complement his LP. Very tricky if you've never faced it, but thankfully Armando and I both play hardbat ourselves, and I practice with Ming from time to time

(1850 final)

Yeah I plan to! Thanks for watching Chen! I'll also upload our semi if that's ok with ya

Yes

Thanks man--from what I've seen, I tend to win when both of us are low on energy, but at other times it can be a toss up

U1800 always goes late, but this time there were almost no spectators whatsoever

Thanks for watching!

Seriously man it's crazy when they got parents and coaches at the same time. Nearly on par with the California kids of legend😂

Thank you! My blade is the dermaterialspezialist the wall carbon (straight handle to twiddle easier), my black rubber is the Yasaka Rising Dragon, and my green (I switched to red recently) is grass dtecs, no sponge

@@big_pip_energy_tt keep up the good work! Love the twiddle skills and big forehand

welp he's not the owner so I gotta say something lol

Definitely a contender, but I think by virtue of not using inverted at all and defending off the table with anti Kyle takes it

Thank you!

I wish there were more penholders in PNW😓
