Lei Ren wins NJ U-2250 event
Recent Fairfield TT Club addition Lei Ren earned his best career rating of 2144 in the process of winning the U-2250 event in the May Princeton Pong tournament in New Jersey.
While only joining us, and the Northeastern tournament scene recently, Lei is a USATT tournament veteran, playing in 40+ different tournaments starting with a 1300 rating in Texas tournaments in 2013, and gradually building to about 1900 level before relocating here from Texas.
Lei's Unique low-spin penhold game, using long-pips-out rubber with an occasional shot thrown in from the usually hidden spinny sponge rubber side of his racket, originally surprised some of Connecticut's best players in area tournaments including past tournament wins over now club-mates Rich Dewitt and Adam Sahar.
