Lumberjack TT Kicks Out Pips-In, Goes Pips Out!

I, NextLevel, master of Lumberjack TT, have trained for 5 years in order to look like a respectable table tennis player. After working with my first coach for four years, he gave up on me, saying that no matter how hard I tried, I could not look like a true or good table tennis player. So I joined TTEdge and worked with Brett Clarke.

Brett gave me the sad news yesterday - my form was irreparably bad, and that my inability to bend my knees had his colleagues wondering why he was wasting his precious time coaching me. So henceforth, he told me that I will no longer be appearing in TTEdge videos. This was pretty much the nail in the coffin. My dream of breaking 2500 was done.

Then it all hit me - why do people glorify all this knee bending? All this technical trash? I shall take my brand of Lumberjack TT over to the dark side. I have resolved to use pips for the rest of my TT playing career. Yes, no more inverted, just pips. Janitors shall no longer have to wonder about hiding the ugliness and dirtiness of my game from young people - the pips shall tell it all.

So I decided to go into training. Here are some of my training hours. I am re-energized. I think with my pips, my new goal is the 2020 Olympics. Bring it on!



I also played some matches. I am undefeated with the pips! I am not even undefeated with inverted. This is going to be a piece of cake. Lumberjack TT is taking over with the wood! David Zhuang, watch out! I'm coming for you!

I know many players who I would beat 3-0 with inverted and because they use long pips I end up 3-2 struggling.
so it's really more effective to play long pips unless you are very good with inverted.

if you are using short pips sorry but you have to bend your knees even more to use them correctly than with inverted.
why do you think ito mima and fukuhara are so good with them?
because they are small and stay very close to the table.
imagine samsonov playing with short pips lol.

as for this being april fool's joke, I think you'd have to be really super high class in order to pull that one off.
and even then, it might make sense for some players.

Hmm... I only have one point from this match, but it shows you my potential to be high class.

I know VERY good players who have switched to long pips because they were getting old, didn't have time to train or just wanted something different.
I even know players who play inverted really well and have played in a high level competitive matches with long pips.

so when you make a joke about switching to pips I find it quite funny and it also shows how highly you consider yourself.
I just remembered that ocassion you showed me a set of a match and asked "how would you rate me based on this?".
also shows your ego is really on the next level!!!!!!!!!!

Don't worry. Train hard with pips.

On a more serious note, I told my friends I had found my ideal combo earlier this year and I would not switch. That's part of the prank as well.
