I try not to get to close to amature sports folks when they are swinging or hitting things. Was it you that told about shooting a bouncing basketball And trying to freeze it in a certain place as a way to sharpen your reflexes? I do that exercise anytime I shoot sports as a way of warming up the ol trigger finger.
