Hi All,
For those interested in C-Pen SHORT PIPS at higher Korean Amateur levels...(OSPH and maybe @Lula !!!) Here is a finals in a national level Open tourney Div 1 vs Div 1 final. Lady is pretty well established Bak Ji-Soo Div 1 Natl standard. Dude is someone I never saw, never heard of, but he is so old school all the way, almost no one in a Korean TT club uses his equipment (In 2010, MAYBE 1 out of 1000 did) and play style, which is traditional single sided pips play bump it and smash it style.
Both of these players show why they are ELITE Div 1 level, which is WAY above the average level. They can play fast and flat and the lady can spin some... but that C-Pen SP dude isn't exactly giving her all the balls to spin slow and heavy... PJS never really plays a slow heavy spin style anyway, she drives, loop drives, keeps ball in play, soft rolls some, cuts some, and smashes.
There are a LOT of long exchanges very fast pace here you only see at top level in Div 1. These are 2400 USATT+ skills. The old-school dude is increadibly consistent with his pips hits and also is not a slouch at his old-school BH sweeping smashes using FH side of rubber. USATT 2500 level players in USA rarely see this style form the penholder and it would trouble a great deal of that crowd.
There is a Korean dude in Boston, trained by a former J-Pen Korean Natl team player (Lee Jae Chul is the Natl player from 70s) who plays single sided C-Pen (and old Stiga ALL C-Pen) style mostly with MP/LP or LP/LP with occasional bump from BH... That dude is JAY LEE and famous on east coast he is 2200-2250 lelvel and gives fits to a lot of inverted players a half level better than him. Dude in vid is likely 2-3 levels better than Jay, but if in USA, Jay Lee is closest you see to this. You gotta see how Jay Lee plays... I should make it a point to video some of his play. Jay Lee is over 60, drinks beers all night long in club, and takes on all-comers... and defeats them all except the local elite, and wins those sometimes.
Enjoy.
