Prove it. 330 has been known to go
over opponents this year, when said opponent got between them and the rack. They aren't the only team to do this, either. Last year, that strategy only worked on a low-mounted shooter. 2005 is that last year that that really worked. (OK, some teams it does work against. But those tend to be a minority.)
The corner clip works much better, but is still risky if there are multiple targets and doesn't work nearly as well if a turret is involved.
Single-speed defense, played well, can be a real pain. Played poorly, it's a minor annoyance. (These are from the team being defended's perspective.)
