Basically i always start the set with a fist bump regardless, but afterwards i take a glance at the persons hand and see if its sweaty, if it is, fist bump, if it isnt, fist bump.

I always start a set with a fist bump, but I generally end with a handshake.
I feel as though a fist bump says "Yo we're chill, let's have a good set / that was a good set", whereas a handshake says "I respect you, that was a good game". Very slight differences, but they vary.

Handshake feels a lot more professional, although fist bump feels a lot more chill. I think starting off the set with a fist bump is the way to go, makes you both feel more comfortable.

loooool I am not sure if that was on purpose or not.

I try to just do whatever I think they're gonna do. Fist bump after RPS is nice though.
