Well, I don't think the odds are any different from in testing. During testing, if we control all the conditions, roughly 1 out of every 12 times the ball will end up in a significantly different location (like missing the hole all together) and we have colcluded this is due to the hard spot contacting the pitching wheel. We arrived at this conclusion by controlling all the other conditions to the best of our ability.
