The best realistic allegory picturing a twiddler table tennis player ( reputed to be a crafty fraud).
It does seem like a funny but true post (crafty fraud according to him)
But in a way I agree with him.
Tabletennis should be a homogeneous society of two winged spinny inverted players
In the 1990's we from Sweden proposed a rule change that would have required both sides of a racket to be identical.
But that proposition was defeated unfortunately.
If both sides of a racket are identical, the twiddling problem will completely disappear.

A lot of long pips players in general struggles with twiddeling game. Because the long pips and tensor rubbers are completely different way of playing. Thats why I made an easy to understand tutorial for beginners to help out those who wants to level up the game by disrupting the rhythm of the opponent! Let me know what you guys think and what to do next!
It is very hard to take you seriously when you have very limited understanding of the history of the sport and casually throw around the phrase "long pips" without really realizing that there are no "long pips" in ITTF table tennis.
ITTF banned all long pips at the 1977 Birmingham BGM
If you use the phrase "long pips" in the context of ITTF slim pips , it is very hard to take you seriously
