nice :tup: I got to play a little recently since my brother is back from AK, which meant my younger bro had incentive to get his shit all off the table at my parents. I sat them all down :lol: I'm curious how I'd do against "good" players....frick if I've been able to find any...not that I've actually looked, its usually random table somewhere, hey want to play, sure...bing bing bing...ok fuck this I cant play you :dance: nowhere near as good without a real paddle, though, most you find out at places are those grip-less pieces of crap that you cant spin the ball worth a damn on.

all about spin - it prevents the ball from being smashed back in your face

its part of the rules of the serve - it must be held in a flat upward palm and basically tossed into the air without imparting spin on the ball...="legal" serve...like you cant even take the ball in between your thumb and forefinger to serve, has to be flat palm



why did this image come up when I googled flat palm :lol:
