Guido's style is fantastic but hats off to George for figuring out how to force errors from a very cool, careful OX LP player. Thanks to GS for the freeby lessons. Long Pip Players RULE!!!!

good match...I figured Guido Schnabel out...all he does is 3 different serves: side spin, top spin or backspin from the left corner. He tries to force you back using his serves. This gives him an easy smash to keep you back from the table until he wins the point. Like Greg Cooper did in the whole match, all you have to do is return with a push or topspin his serve which forces Guido back from the table :)

George, hope you get to see this comment someday. This is Larry from Oklahoma! We used to play back in the 70s. Glad to see you're still moving smooth and mixing the D and O. My play against your long pips back in the day has stood me well :) Good luck, and God Bless!
