Comments or discussion?

Okay, Shorty, I'll bite. I've been waiting for you to post your "different" ideas. I'm more or less conservative in my opinions - right english throws the ob left and left english throws the ob right. There are other variables to consider, like distance between the cb and ob, and speed. Another variable is the condition of the balls, clean or dirty, and the type of balls. I grew up playing with clay balls and I'm convinced I could throw them farther. I also believe that because of their lack of a glossy finish I could see them better, but that's another thread...

Now, hit me with your thoughts!
