I really doesn't matter what you think. It matters what the refs decide at competition. My post is still correct, as the rules state, controlled direction of the ball is a catch. However I'm pretty sure that either the GDC or refs will change the rule or it's interpretation as soon as someone tries it. I'm betting that they will rule impelling the ball via an angled sheet is not a catch, so I wouldn't put any time into trying that as a strategy since it will become useless after week 1.
