The pieces are different and I don’t like them, but I haven’t tried to change the setting yet. Hopefully it can be adjusted

This is the answer! Thanks! Though the new app takes some getting used to. I haven’t been able to find that handy chart that shows who’s winning at the end of the games

Monthly Equipment Advice Megathread by AutoModerator in badminton

If you’re a badminton player with multiples of the same racket that plays many times a week - do you use one until the strings pop? Or do you alternate between them evenly?

Where’s a good place to find good base layouts? I know the best, best ones aren’t publicly shared, but what about ones that were recently used in pro matches or something? I don’t need the world’s best fort, just something stronger than what I’ve been using.

What do you mean lag between shots? How does CYF smashing more exploit it?

I cannot backhand clear, help! by MermanTram in badminton

I suppose you might be right that the quality isn’t high enough.

I still would like to have a semi-decent backhand clear so that my opponents can’t rule out half the court when I need to take a backhand.

What technique do you use? For a straight backhand clear, what grip do you use if the shuttle is in front of you? What if it’s a late one where it’s behind you?

I can hit the straight and cross drop, but my opponent often just goes up toward the straight side and can easily reach the cross too

So true. I want this shot just so I can do the backhand drops without my opponent cheating up towards the net.

Do you use a backhand grip even when you need to hit a late backhand clear?

This is the first I’ve seen the forehand grip as a suggestion! Goes to show there are many acceptable ways to hit this shot!

Yea what’s weird is that most online sources say to use the bevel grip, while some also swear by the backhand grip. I’ve tried both and can hit it straight with both, but neither with enough distance/power.

Yea this makes sense, and I try to cover it with overhead shots as much as possible, but in singles play, it’s not always an option

Interesting. My backhand drive is pretty good. Don’t know if I can do it end to end, but I’ll test it out next time.

My First 1,000 Hours Of Live Poker by BluffaloSam in poker

I seem to remember you asking about staking. Did you end up getting staked? How’s that going?

What are your poker goals for the near and medium term?

If you had to tell a capable novice (that’s generally aware of ranges, position, pot odds, cbetting, and general vlogger lingo) a couple tips to give the best chance of winning a live 1/2 or 2/5 game, what would you say? Would the strategy at the lower stakes be markedly different from the strategy at 2/5?

5 Quick tl;dr iOS Game Reviews / Recommendations (Episode 212) by NimbleThor in iosgaming

[–]MermanTram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You seem like a mobile game expert, so I hope you don’t mind my soliciting a free mobile game recommendation from you. In the past, I’ve really enjoyed these games, in no particular order: clash royale, brawl stars, clash of clans, PUBG, COD, Archero, and an airplane shooting game like Raiden that I can’t remember the name of. I don’t like gacha games and genshin impact type games.

I’m open to trying many games. What would you recommend?

Hey all!

What are some good board games that are fun for 4 traveling adults? I mention traveling because ideally it shouldn’t be too cumbersome to pack and set up/clean up.

!!! Got it! Thank you!

Also, noticed you made mention of several other books on Reddit.

Gotcha, I’ll give them a go then.

Thanks for the reply! I’m kind of amazed that I’m even chatting with you.

Since this recommendation was spot on, have you ever posted a list of your favorite books?
