To hear that from a team such as 469 is really something. I've always loved how your designs are always different yet utterly dominating.

It does! Spinning them forward (collecting) while throwing keeps the ball on the arm longer, flattening the trajectory. Spinning them backward while throwing causes the ball to come off earlier, creating more of a lob shot. Lots to play with and tune!
