You might want to include this grip. Apparently it’s popular.

ya know, I’m more impressed with his right hand. It’s like he’s just typing away on the keyboard of facesmash.

getting my stick this week and this thread will be handy, good video mate.

just need to find a style that’s comfortable for me, i’m liking the wine-glass (used to be a waiter so might find that the easiest lol! j/k) or the eagle, those 2 have my eye :smiley:

can’t wait!

Cool video, i use the wineglass method.

:rofl: That’s just hilarious, I can’t get this out of my head now!

Does anyone use the douchebag? For serious.

I tried the douchebag this morning and found that it worked better on ball than bat. X-Arcade guy should try a Japanese stick for optimal performance.

More hand paintings plz
They are cool :slight_smile:

Like 5 days ago, I was at an arcade playing KOF with a few mexicans (think they were an entire family, not sure) and every single one of them used the douchebag hold…they were good too

The stick art reminds me of Altered Beast, awesome.

The stick reminds me of the infamous wolf shirt that is known for it’s chick magnet and the cure for aids.

This one?

lol… that review is priceless! :rock:

!! cross armed !!

lol you forgot about seth Killian’s cross armed method

heres the best pick I could find

lol @ the douche bag grip :smiley:

i use a combination of the wineglass and eagle grip but most of my palm is over the top of the ball. hard to explain. would provide a pic but I have no camera.

good vid lol

great vid! i use the wine glass but i curl my palm over haha

The “No homo” most comfortable when using his friends stick… hmmmmm

I’m the only one that read this in this manner…:wtf:

Great video! I’m one of those people who had questions about holding a balltop when I first got my balltop stick (I’ve been using a Happ my whole life, pretty much exclusively), and although I pretty quickly found a comfortable way to hold it I’m sure this will be useful for people who were in the same situation I was in.

Personally I use a wineglass, except I hold the shaft between my ring finger and pinky (shades of No Homo…so…“No Wineglass, Homo”?). For some reason I have trouble doing supers from 1P side, but this is a problem that’s plagued me forever, it must be mental. Or I have stone hands…probably a combination of both.

I use my index finger and thumb

Whats hilarious is that customers who recently viewed this item also viewed Zubaz pants. Seriously though, I wear Zubaz pants every sunday at Bills games durring football season and nobody has the Three Mountain Wolf shirt on though. :smile:

I’m pretty sure Daigo uses the “No Homo” also as seen in that video.
