The tournament where you can only play with pips or anti

[spinreversal]

Toxic is the only tournament—at least the only one I know—where you’re allowed to play only if you use pips or anti-spin rubbers. No mercy. Just pure disruption. 🏓☠️

After taking part in this edition, I’m excited to share the Vlog where I show you what it’s like from the inside: the players, the tactics, and the beautiful weirdness of it all.

This sounds like a fun project. Btw what happens when two antis Meet? Does the world implode?

Serously, doesn't Anti work by using spin against the opponent. What does when he gets no spin balls by another anti player

Yes, implosion of the world and destruction of internet jajajajajaa actually playing with anti in this tournament was so difficult because of this reason you have mentioned. Antis depends on spin from the opponent and pips and antis are not the most spiny ones. Then, at the end you need to push with it long and attack with your forehand as much as possible as you can see I did in the vídeo. But, honestly, for this kind of tournaments, pips would be a better option, more dynamic.

TOXIC CHAMPION
Oh, my Lord 🙀
This all looks some daring mockery of sport.. How can you deal with those treated and substandard pimples? What rules did you adopt, if any?
I should admire to take a close examination of the actual racket as being used by the TOXIC champion.( the name explicitly indicates viperous character of the player 😆) This racket should be some impressive device, I guess.
None jest of mine, nothing malice of mine but natural professional inquisitiveness of mine, nothing else.

Yeah i would assume a short pips smasher like an old school penholder could really dominate that tournament.

Maybe you had to make it just anti or long pips

Actually I didn’t have the chance to check each of the rackets, but all of the players that I have play with showed into the tournament with pips not treated. Being a small tournament I can not tell you that they were all checked, but as pips user for more than 20 years I can notice if a rubber is treated because of the answer to spin. An, in general I didn’t see any special player winning because of the racket. The winner was a profesional defence with great talent. At the end this kind of tournaments shows that it is not about racket, it is about the user. Nice to hava an interview with you for the channel speaking about test and checking of the rackets before tournaments. Let me know if it can be possible. Regards.

Actually no, the final and semifinals where all long pips, just one short and one anti in the final stage of the tournament. At the beginning I thought like you do, that short pips would have an advantage, but it was not the case.
