Great matches and nice short pips play!  Thanks for posting!

sounds very dead

This reminds me another short-pip penholder player:  Liu Nai Hui.  (2552).

After watching these videos, he is also a master of illegal serves.  Not to take away that he is a good player.  Seems to be a nice guy.  

He definitely uses SP on his FH, and Iwould say he's using either LP or MP on his bh.  Probably more like an MP on his bh as he's able to attack quite well with it.  Whatever he has on his bh it's definitely thinner sponge as it's much slower.  It really seems to cause loopers problems.

Duh...you're absolutely right.  I guess I wasn't really thinking when I watched him the first time. Was just admiring his play.  Yes he uses traditional ph bh.  It's definitely pips.  Wouldn't be surprised if it's TSP Spectol, but he might be using 802-40 with a special sponge.  The pips definitely seems to have some sinking action that cause his opponents all kinds of problems. 

Absolutely agree dalamchops, but some SPs are worse than others and his definitely seem to be causing a lot of problems for his opponents.  Maybe someone can find out which ones he plays with.

I know... but the final match he was warned and was taken off points to his opponent due to his illegal serve. But at other rounds, no body caught him even they got complains. Weird!

I've always been wondering what caused this sinking effect. It seems all pips, including med and long, have this effect. Is it the lack of spin? But lack of top spin would only cause the ball to float, not sink...

Also, when I play against those sinking balls, it seems like they sink after they come over to my side
Why would it do that, or is it just my illusion? I mean it doesn't matter what rubber it is, once the ball leaves the racket, right?

Okay, I've watched about 5 matches of his on YouTube.  Dude can really hit.  Now I know what "fast attack" means!It seems that he has been playing USATT tournaments for only a short while.  Where did he play before?  And does anyone know about how old he is? 

I hope he plays the US Open this year.  It would be fun to see how he plays against other 2500-rated players there.  Of course last year the women's finals featured 2 great short pips offensive players--Liu Nai Hui and Jiaqi Zheng. I would love to see Cui play in person.

Recharster
wow, you really like to post same thing over so many times in the same thread, one after the another and another. I wonder if moderators will warn you for spamming?

Let me try answer you before you add another 10 post to this thread on the same thing.

If you think you can beat him - good luck
phone number - I don't think people will share these things on the internet to strangers (we don't even share our name etc)
arrogant guy? that could be slandering, so just becareful
maybe some one can share which clubs he plays, so you can go and challenge him - remember to post a video for us

good luck
