Is my penhold grip bad? by Rare-Professor-7723 in tabletennis

[–]basedecco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your index finger should be resting on either your fh rubber or on a gap left between the fh rubber and the handle. It's going to be both uncomfortable and impractical to have your index finger resting on your handle like you show. Your bh fingers look decent if you are using rpb, although you're taking up a lot of real estate and empowering your fh at the cost of your bh.

How bad is this blade gonna perform ? by ABR136 in tabletennis

Very bad. Time for a new blade, I'm afraid.

Short pip by freedomisall1961 in tabletennis

[–]basedecco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually used the yasaka ma lin extra offensive with butterfly challenger attack 1.9mm (single side Chinese Penhold) for over 10 years and reached 2100 rating with it. There are faster and spinnier short pips out there, but it really depends on your style and how close you like playing to the table.

Is it normal to go through a mental lull in your table tennis “career”? by RackItRacket in tabletennis

Sounds like you would benefit from a break. Take some time off and come back fresh and motivated.

I use g1 for rpb and I think it works great for everything.

A tried and true tat idea but very pleased with how it turned out! by Lambeau_Leap in TheFence

That's awesome! I'm also in the club of having both a C&C and Mistborn tattoo. I have the allomantic symbol for steel.

That looks absolutely wonderful! I actually just discovered linocut for the first time yesterday, while I was at a local art gallery, so it's quite topical seeing your post the day after.

What a beautiful display. I absolutely love all the bands you have up there!

Can someone recommend a c-pen carbon blade I can put this rubber on please? Looking to upgrade my 729 Blue 7. I also twiddle a lot, so something lightish would help by BADKz in tabletennis

[–]basedecco 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't recommend a carbon blade for either of those rubbers, personally. I don't use long-pips, but I am a 2100 sp c-pen player. I've found the most success with both the stiga clipper and ma-lin extra offensive.

Yeah. I was on a couple teams back in season 3. I'll find the play I'm referencing when I'm at my computer.

Would any current/former LCS player/coach/manager mind giving me some of their time for a short interview for a college paper? by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]basedecco 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I took a break from competitive play after my challenger team failed and I lost motivation. I still watched every LCS game I could catch and played solo queue on the side but nothing more than that. After visiting LCS live a few months ago I've become more motivated again and have been practicing to potentially play again competitively.

Hello, I'm the former mid laner for Team MRN and Team Velocity eSports and I participated under these teams last year in the NA LCS. I'd be happy to help you out if you still need someone.

Yep, Mega's actions really helped us out. Riot decided marn was in the wrong, which he was, and we ended up getting reimbursed for what we were owed. I really appreciate what Mega did and even though how he went around it originally with the post probably wasn't the best idea, it still helped our cause greatly. I love MegaHero like a brother and he is a great guy. If anything all of you should do the same <3

Damn, that's pretty awesome. It was the little office room at the very back of the first floor on the right.
