Trick bar use...

My legs are a little too short to effectively bar hug on an entire song.

However, on a few catas that require stamina (something I don't have yet), I'll bar hug on part of it. Either that or I'll use it for balance on some crossovers or spins to make sure I don't do a faceplant into the machine or the floor.

And, usually on the songs I know I can do without bar, I end up doing worse when bar hugging.

NERD ALERT

"If you bar rape, you are not exerting your full mass onto the pads. Therefore, there is a lower chance of fcuking up the pads due to too much force being applied. F=ma. If m decreses and a is constant, F decreases. (Yes fellow maths nerds, its not the whole story)"
True/false? I could do some straightforward calculations to explain in more detail, but quite frankly, I can't be arsed.

I think it'll have more to do with how hard you step. A no-bar player stepping lightly is going to do less damage to the pads than a bar player slamming their foot down with every step...and I see a lot of bar players do that. Since using the bar conserves energy, the player will have more leftover energy to apply extra force to the panels.

For those who use it for better PA competitively or expert ITG players, that's fine. But if you really need a bar for anything lower than a 10 or really hard 9 footer, that's pretty sad...I just dont see how it's possible to make it any easier on steps that slow.
And about it doing less damage to the pads, I dont really thinks that's an issue...it's not hard to avoid stomping

I think Bar Raping is okies as long as you don't start off Bar Raping. If you start off a song with Bar Rape then you are a really huge n00b.

I sweat to god, I saw some 13 year old Bar Rape Broken My Heart. I wanted to laugh, yet at the same time I wanted to cry.

I'm just wondering, why do people get mad when someone "bar rapes", maybe they like to use the bar. Why the hell would you get mad if u see someone use the bar?

Have you seen some of the videos of people playing with no bar? it looks way more retarded then ones playing with bar, in my opinion.

untill last week... or the week before i never played with the bar on anything 9 or lower, but i thought, "if all the itg players are doing it now, why shouldn't i?"... so i used it... come to find out i now can play on X3 solo and AA almost anything i play now.. even Accross the nightmare heavy X1.5. I don't need it but i use it now on eveything even Butterfly heavy X3.. and i got 9 greats a new record for me at least.

I make bar-raping look really good =)

Bar-raping is good for PA, along with 3X mod(applies for 95-158 BPM) and solo.

In a tournament, the best PA wins. Bar use or not doesn't matter. Both has its weakness, depending on how you play.

^no no no, you're not weird. It's different for everyone. Some people like you do better without the bar. That's perfectly fine. I just developed a skill with the bar, that's all.

I read the title and thought is was going to about freestyling while using the bar..

I know I use the bar when I free style...Slide under it and jump back onto the pad.
