Long Pips Kid BATTLES against 2100 DOUBLE SHORT PIPS GIRL😵‍💫👊🏓

Vikhyath Bulusu (1849) VS Amina Batkhuyag (2166)
Under 2400 Round Robin
2024 United States Table Tennis Open Championships
12/19/24
In this match, I play Amina, who uses short pips (not hardbat) on both sides of her paddle. This was a real headache for me, as short pips are probably my worst matchup due to the lack of spin to reverse with my long pips. I did way better than I expected here, though, and I feel like if I was better against Amina's style, I might've taken the W.

Nice match

Thanks!

I've never seen a match like this. Btw those aggressive long pip strokes put fear into me as a beginner.

[@big_pip_energy_tt]

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😅

[@kd6613]

short pips seems to be able to allow her lift weak underspin produced by long pips with a very short and swift action. Is that true? What happened in the third game? She kept hitting out of bounds.

[@big_pip_energy_tt]

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

I always tell myself when I watch these games or playing myself, when you're up 2-0 it's a good time to relax. and then they usually lose at least a game because of that. Just look at Amy Wang in semifinals.

@@chimyshark makes sense!

[@guanpu5809]

I hate long pips😃

[@big_pip_energy_tt]

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

[@guanpu5809]

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

[@Alexander-y2d]

Long pips are for people who has no backhand, and doesn't want to learn it )))

[@big_pip_energy_tt]

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
