Smashing Time, World Series of Beer Pong V Champs!

For the first time ever a WSOBP team was able to defend their title successfully. Smashing Time (Mike Popielarski and Ron Hamilton) from Long Island are now World Series of Beer Pong IV and V champions. Smashing Time plays the majority of their Beer Pong on Long Island and travels both locally and nationally for large tournaments. Smashing Time has become the "Yankees" of beer pong, after winning the Atlantic City Championship and the World Series twice in a row. These three events alone have won the team over $125,000, and they are looking to repeat as champs again in AC in June.

Overhand Grip

Overhand Grip
Majority of Players use this grip. Do not forget to snap your wrist

The Trigger

The Trigger
The most effective technique. Lining up your thumb with the cup allows you to be more accurate, while giving it a little wrist snap gives the ball top spin. Top spin is important because it will allow the ball to bounce into other cups more often

Reverse Grip

Reverse Grip
This is a rarely used shot, but it can be rather effective. The ball is held between the tip of the thumb and the tips of two or three fingers, with the back of the hand facing the cups. When shooting the ball, the hand is pulled away from the body with a flick of the wrist at release.
