Long Pimp is confusing on spin after 3 returns 😂😂

[@davidchan9979]

Do you think the announcers have any understanding about pips or how impressive some of the things Batra pulled off are? Count how many times she twiddled her racket during the point 5:22

[@anupamprudent]

Wow.. what a match. God bless Manika and India.

[@patjeanti485]

❤❤❤ manika is very strong mental player,well done nice game. 👍

[@Kat-zj5kd]

Congrats Manika, she is the pride of India

[@shiishinchiu6636]

Of course you're proud when you're from the land of cheaters and scammers.

[@saintpetersburg3188]

Wow.. congratulation to Manika

[@owenallenaz]

Her opponent looked incredibly uncomfortable on the short underspin off the pips. She didn't have room to loop when its short and wasn't content to just push.

[@MonktonJohn]

Absolutely fantastic well done do we know what pimples she uses 👍🇬🇧

[@zelandakhniteblade5436]

She is listed as using Tibhar Dtecs 0x but there is some controversy about whether they are legal as she uses particularly old rubbers where the characteristics have changed significantly from the original (approved) form. Frictionless pimples are not allowed under the current regulations and rumour is that she gets very close to this with some of her set-ups.

[@Pablo-vr8sv]

Set up Manika?

[@benjaminmoreau3560]

I really wasn't expecting the way she uses the pimples, didn't know that would work at high level, too

[@taynguyen7792]

Many pro level are using longpips but I have not seen one Anti

[@allanmckellar5328]

The continual change of pimpled to top spin rubber during rallies is hard for her opponents to anticipate

So if everybody in the comments is complaining about those long pips whats stopping the other player using long pips then its even.

Manika played with Sun Yingsha? Sun is the No. 1 in China and the world. How did I miss that match?

[@sijuadeadedeji8324]

Them pimples are so good they should be illegal. They make excellent players look like amateurs. So deadly the way it kills your spin.

[@DhavalBrahmbhatt2627]

She uses her height to her advantage. Her play also shows she is clever

With that much try to backhand,waiting oppo attack,even much of 3rd ball chopping,you cant defeat world class player..bt dont know the rubber pips shoul make any sense,but anyway congrats.manik

[@shiishinchiu6636]

Why is long pips not banned? This is the most outrageous rule allowed by the ITTF.

[@beawarrior2806]

Why it should be banned?Just becoz few idiots cannot play against it??

[@HDSPKSRecords-gi1ob]

LOL Long pips have been around for as long as rubber! You have to learn how to play against them, simple.

[@shiishinchiu6636]

@@HDSPKSRecords-gi1ob Did you know ITTF has received petitions from players around the world? They're still pondering on the idea. Because if a 100th rank player can beat a top ranked player just by using the funny Rubber then something is not right.

Because you don’t know how to play against them? It’s not that hard buddy

Good example of why your comment should be banned

[@HDSPKSRecords-gi1ob]

Or perhaps we should learn how to play against them? Are long pips players calling for flat rubber to be banned?

[@dennisfook2717]

Think of this.. They judges do not want you to use speed glue...BUT YOU CAN USE PIMPS ..PIMPS RUBBERS ARE CHEATING THE BALL IN THE GAMES. .. THE NOBS ON THE RUBBER IS NOT EVEN THE ARE LONG AND SHORT MIX...WHILE A NORMAL RUBBER IS FLAT AND EVEN .

[@mozza1985]

You sound like a child that lost to someone using pips 😂. Pips actually require an awful lot of skill to use properly but I wouldn’t expect you to understand that…

[@thientran9461]

Yeah how many choppers are there in the top 100 compared to inverted rubber players? It's not called cheating it's called not knowing how to play against long pips lol

[@Dave_T.100]

Pips-out rubbers have been on the market for decades if not a century. At one time you were allowed to play with just a thick sponge without rubber. It's not cheating it's variety.

[@hartman4882]

what someone says is true, because the quality of the toy is a bit less attractive when you see a pimple

[@mankenybom9344]

So you mean that long pips is a replacement for speedglue.... are you stupid...?! And all they who says that longpips i cheating hasn't trained enough....

[@ericongid1]

no much skill but win , what an irony. She will not win even one game out of 5 if she uses the smooth rubber instead of long pips.

[@jcsk1926]

Your comments show how little you know about the game. Presumably you use smooth rubbers on both sides? Will you be able to win one game out of five if you use long pimples? What a silly thing to say.

[@anguerrero1]

She rotates the racket, that means, she can handle inverted pimples too. From my point of view, a well established strategy, no doubts on that

[@linsresidence8390]

Your comment is so stupid. It is like saying the Sing Player will not even win a single game if she were to use a long pimple rubber. Why do you even suggest something that the player does not use? In any game, players play within the rules. A winner is a winner.

[@abhinavchaukar4671]

@@jcsk1926 exactly.

[@abhinavchaukar4671]

She has always practiced on pips, why will she use a normal rubber. By the way blocking with pips is not an easy thing. I am long pips player myself. So there is a lot of skill in twiddling and all of it.
