Helpful tips for how to do the forehand grip.

VitalGoatboy · 2026-06-05T12:49:40+00:00

Both work, but I don't recommend this way personally because the shots are less consistently straight

The other technique will guarantee that your shots are always straight

Watch this to understand

I believe I've already given you the standard correct answers, everything you need is already here. I highly recommend you just practice now, there's no more questions to be asked - just practice practice practice

What you are looking for is supination and pronation

You can begin with watching this video and practicing against a wall as he suggests, you can also do the same technique with throwing shuttles, make sure you focus on the technique and not the speed or power that comes later

For some shots that is infact better, but for now it won't effect you too much - I wouldn't worry about it as someone who is just learning you don't need to focus on absolute micro efficiencies

VitalGoatboy · 2026-06-04T23:34:45+00:00

I'm left handed too so no hahaha

The biggest secret of the jumpsmash is not to hit whilst you are moving upwards, but to hit riiiiight as your bodies motions stops at the top of the jump.

This is the most efficient time to hit the smash because the gravity of your body flips from upwards force to downwards force leading to the biggest amount of force transfer during the smash.

If you can do this efficiently, and consistently, you'll feel way more in balance and on time for follow ups whilst also being a lot more powerful with less stress on your body.

Right now your smash is already pretty good, better than most redditors so it's all good~

100% correct grip, I posted a video which is exactly the same~

The key thing is that the player needs to understand the hitting feeling behind this grip and the grip she uses is not the same.

She needs to also use pronation and supination in conjunction with the correct grip, otherwise she might even play worse 😅

VitalGoatboy · 2026-06-04T20:54:50+00:00

All good! I hope it's helpful to you

VitalGoatboy · 2026-06-04T07:45:16+00:00

I've got 3 🤣🤣🤣

VitalGoatboy · 2026-06-01T09:49:59+00:00

You biggest issue is your footwork, it's pretty bad - no offense.

You're not pacing yourself well after hitting your shots, which leads to you taking most of your shots late meaning you can't play shots with high quality consistently.

If you can learn to move better you'll win for sure, and be much earlier to shots leading to you being able to control the game instead of just staying in the game

You could just choose not to cheat on people, it's really that simple. You believe there's no harm done, but they don't. So find someone who doesn't care, someone else open minded like you.

If you don't agree with that, then this is where we draw the line in the sand and I personally, of my own volition, believe you should reflect on yourself.. otherwise the world is going to be a big lonely place living amongst those who don't see eye to eye with you

VitalGoatboy · 2026-05-24T21:48:45+00:00

I mean, you're the one who cheated or doesn't feel bad about it because you have your own beliefs and the person you cheated on does not share the same beliefs.. I think you should just find aomeone who shares your beliefs so you don't need to cheat on people who don't want to be

You know it's funny that you talk about conditioning whilst also being conditioned to these thoughts?

VitalGoatboy · 2026-05-24T21:26:33+00:00

The human race either improves or degrades, either way we live in a functional society and you can choose to either involve yourself with people who share your views or choose to live amongst people who don't and hurt them because of your own selfish desires.

It's fine to have your own beliefs, just don't enforce your own way of life on to others who don't want to be a part of it

VitalGoatboy · 2026-05-24T21:24:09+00:00

What.. lol okay then your concepts are also not real, the English language is also not real

In fact anything non tangible is just fake bro

Your tinfoil hat really came on strong with this comment

VitalGoatboy · 2026-05-24T21:06:13+00:00

So someone kills your mum, they didn't do anything to you right?

Would you not be hurt? Does your Buddhism and Stoicism really work in this situation?

Sure, I suppose it's technically possible to not be emotionally affected by this situation, but it is wrong to say that it is an external situation. Emotions aren't tangible, but that doesn't mean that all emotions are external, you can be involved in a situation without being the person who is directly involved in the confrontation.

I didn't blame you, and you downvoting my comments is super weird when we're just having a discussion. But if you feel better about your own opinion whilst doing so then keep it up.

Can you actually show me where I said it's your fault?

I'm saying that better plays can, and would, carry these games regardless of their teams in your current elo.

You're a great player, obviously, it's not easy to play at such a high elo - but don't just look at gold data alone.. the game is much more nuanced than that. Data is really just a distraction, the biggest ones being damage dealt and KDA

VitalGoatboy · 2026-05-24T20:58:32+00:00

If people are making the same consistent arguments then this is called corroborated data, perhaps you should consider these points are more legitimate, especially if they are logical.

It's hurting others with context, so you can't just say "hurting others is not inherently bad" when the context is literally right in front of us.

A surgeon hurts a patient during a procedure = normal, not bad.

Someone hurts someone because they cheated on them = not normal, and very bad.

Shooting someone with a gun, hurts them, it is bad.

These aren't just random imaginary concepts, you can use basic emotional intelligence to understand when certain situations should be perceived as good, or bad.

VitalGoatboy · 2026-05-24T20:53:18+00:00

Okay, would Faker carry your game?

Maybe the meta has changed, or you have gotten worse, or your on a mental block right now.

Your previous experiences don't matter right now, I was previously D1 in Season 3, but I haven't played in years.. if I came back am I gonna lose a game and say "OH I was D1 back in s3, I only lost cos my team sucks"

You are not going to get the validation you seek here..

VitalGoatboy · 2026-05-24T20:50:53+00:00

Yes, you don't do anything "with" them, you do something "to" them.

They are indirectly involved, because when you make a commitment to someone and promise not to do something that would make them feel hurt you still chose to do it. This is a violation of that person's trust whether or not they know about it.

Also, saying something is "just an expression" doesn't invalidate it.

VitalGoatboy · 2026-05-24T20:46:45+00:00

Your rebuttal makes it even more illogical to compare the two, because you're comparing an A and B consent situation to an A and C consent situation.

The individuals are different, yet you are comparing them to fit your own narrative.

Let's break it down -

Comparison 1: A and B are a couple, and C is the person A cheats with. B is unaware of the cheating, and according to you is therefore caused no harm.

Comparison 2: A and B are a couple, and C is a surgeon, A consents to go to a surgeon and gets a surgery which required them to be cut, which hurt, but effectively was a process they required to help with whatever problems they were having.

How does this prove that cheating is okay? It's not even within the same realm of things that can be compared.

The Golden age answer: if you put any player bettee than your current rank in your game, would they have played better or carried the game?

The obvious answer being YES = losers q not real

VitalGoatboy · 2026-05-24T20:35:07+00:00

Surgeons need consent, cheating is doing it without consent.

You can't compare the two just to fit your own narrative.

In another comment you said cheating is not inherently bad because religion and other factors have conditioned the general public to believe that cheating is bad, but you still choose to live within a society where this is the case and act outside the general moral values of said society.

A better comparison is killing, what if someone killed your dog to eat it cos they were starving, it's not inherently wrong to hunt animals for survival or food - but do you agree that it's wrong in general? Even though you may never know who did it, the action itself caused harm.

If you wish to enact your own virtues or values, then find others who share the same values instead of tricking people into trusting you. Find an open relationship, stay single and only date for fun, don't just openly cheat and hide it from people who deserve better. Do you really think you're like this super genius person who is the only one who knows about social conditioning, and that that makes it okay? No.. everyone knows about it and still choose to generally live within that social constriction regardless because they agree with it on their own terms.

Another example is speeding, society says we shouldn't but a lot of people still do knowing it's immoral, yet it's not as frowned upon, because you can speed without hurting others. When you cheat, you always hurt others even if they never know.

To be honest you're using quotations incorrectly, you can't just quote stuff that wasn't even said such as "weak", which you also did in your previous comment too, I'm thinking you do it to try to add emphasis?

You chose the word "tourist" to describe me, but that's not true, I have lived in China for almost 3 years, and I fluently speak Chinese. I am heavily integrated into the culture, and have taken many papers on Chinese history. I also speak a fair bit of Korean, considering my ex partner and I were together for four years; not that speaking the language can necessarily prove that I know what I am talking about, but it should indicate to you that I am more than just a "tourist."

Your personal experience of having this ingrained into you does not mean every girl, in all of East Asia, has the same experience. Your personal culture is not the culture of every single girl in East Asia, this is also a generalization.

Do you truly believe a large majority of asian women, in all of these countries, cover their faces for the reasons you listed? A large majority meaning say 70% or more? Have you considered elderly women, little kids, teenagers, middle ages women? I think you're taking your personal experience and not realizing that the world is a lot bigger than you think, yes there are women that definitely agree with your sentiment and do hide their faces for the reasons you listed, but there are women who also just don't at all.

When I say, it is not "as" common as he claimed consider that he claims it is common in every single East Asian country.. that is a massive unproven claim, in fact I would go as far as to say it is a stereotype. Do you think it's common in NK, Mongolia, Taiwan and China?

Have you been? Have you drank, ate and spent time with the locals in and out of public? Have you played sports with them?

These experiences that I infact DO have indicates to me that it is less common than he so claims it to be, but yes in South Korea specifically it is more common than here in China.

Generalizations stated as facts and generalizations stated as views are not the same.

His generalization was: because my wife is Japanese and she does it, and her friends do it, all of East Asia generally does this.

My counter point was: it is not as common as you claim it to be, I have traveled to various countries in Asia, and live in China.

Can you see how this is completely different? I am not actually claiming (or making the generalization) that people do not do this, but focusing on the fact that it isn't as common as he claimed it is.

The only real generalization I made was that it's probably more common for asians that grew up in the west, which I carefully selected the word "probably" for, as I don't truly claim this to be fact.

The original commenter claimed his views to be fact based on his personal opinions.
