This helps NONE maybe if it helped you... IT WOULD BE MORE USEFUL!!! You could also just put some magnets on your paddle. If your buddy asks about them, say it's some crazy medical procedure (I don't know, okay?)

Even though this would change the bounce, I highly doubt that it would be an advantage to either player.

I'm sorry, but I don't get how this helps you cheat

wow..... you could just add a small dab of hot glue on the ping pong ball and it would work to.

If you're this desperate to cheat, you could just throw your paddle at them. You can't loose against a unconscious opponent! (JK Don't do this)

Winners never cheat and cheaters never win.
yummahcupekakez in reply to Hawaii00000Apr 28, 2009. 9:00 PM
cheaters win unless they get caught
2fst4u in reply to Hawaii00000Dec 29, 2008. 12:51 AM
wrong. cheaters always win and winners are always cheaters. its all about perception of the 'cheating'
that one guy in reply to Hawaii00000Jan 5, 2008. 7:07 AM
they can have a lot of fun before being busted, though.

what does it do
acaz93 (author) in reply to litledrumdrumbigblackMar 20, 2009. 10:19 PM
Since the screw gives a little off-weight the ball looses balance and change it's trajectory

What happened to the "be nice" policy?
acaz93 (author) in reply to yutzwagonDec 9, 2008. 6:36 PM
it's just within instructables...
acaz93 (author) in reply to OriginalMacManOct 8, 2008. 7:18 PM
YAH , BUT HEY YOU WERE HAVING FUN
yutzwagon says: Dec 9, 2008. 4:07 PM
I might try something like that but with paint injected into the ball...
=SMART= says: Jun 17, 2008. 11:24 AM
COOL but when they hit it back isnt it equally hard to hit ??
linkmaster03 in reply to =SMART=Sep 6, 2008. 9:07 AM
No because they won't be able to hit it back lol. On the serve you hold it so that it will hit the flat side of the ball on your side, and when it goes to their side it hits the screw and they fail.

This is really smart and I will probably use this against my bro in a mini tournament I shall have with him...
kmelon says: Jul 9, 2008. 10:35 PM
isnt the screw a bit obvious?
acaz93 (author) in reply to kmelonJul 10, 2008. 12:24 PM

NO

yes it is ...
theRIAA says: Dec 7, 2007. 2:43 PM
inject the ball with glue so it rests like 1/2 full, then no-one will see it
adamthiede in reply to theRIAAMar 3, 2008. 6:41 AM
awesome! how would you get them not to suspect you if they saw a hole though?
acaz93 (author) in reply to adamthiedeMar 3, 2008. 7:09 PM
you can use a little white-out or paper corrector , to , you know ,cheat
theRIAA in reply to adamthiedeMar 3, 2008. 6:53 PM
"inject" and sand the tiny glue-hole smooth
pandaboy292 in reply to theRIAAApr 14, 2008. 4:20 PM
then you could paint it.
acaz93 (author) in reply to theRIAADec 8, 2007. 10:18 AM
Good idea , Yes , actually it may work and look less 'cheating' so The 'cheating engine ' will be cloaked Thanks for the idea :p
zoundsPadang says: Feb 23, 2008. 3:02 PM
alright! make the ball's flightpath unpredictable! that's SURE to help you win!
EnigmaMax says: Feb 7, 2008. 6:26 PM
nice, but that screw is pretty obvious to see and hear...
the_burrito_master says: Dec 27, 2007. 3:57 PM
lol nice but you should paint it white so you cant see the screw.
iKill says: Oct 28, 2007. 6:05 PM
