Thanks for the responses guys...
I'll try to throw it at the same length, maybe 5 shorter, and same speed.
Schooledrider - I know what you mean by being better to overrotate. On my third try I came up just short and caught my nose edge to facesmack. That sheot hurts.
I don't know if im ready to slam the X1 just yet; it'll give me something to look forward to next season and give me some time to get my skills down, as well as saving me a couple pennies at the gas pump if you know what I mean. And once I turn to the dark side I'll never want to go back!
Any other input is appreciated.
