Table abuse
In one-handed speedsolving, table abuse is the technique of frequently using the table to get unstuck or to more easily execute a move. Roux OH solvers are especially known for their table abuse for M-slice turns and have turned it into a veritable style.
The term was originally negative. Indeed, the legality of table abuse was a common question for several years and still is, although it has never appeared in the WCA regulations. Some, including Thom Barlow, dispute the term "abuse."[1]
Angles
Many people ask what angle to place the cube on the table. Most Roux solvers press on the DR edges at a 45 degree angle onto the table.
Another way to do it is to lean on the FR edge at a 45 degree angle. An example of someone who uses this is Alex Lau, as seen in the video linked below.
