Paul,
Thanks. We were tweaking out launcher and control system, and beefing up our arms right up to the playoffs. We knew we'd be ready to go when/if we were chosen. When we played together in the playoffs and were able to hurdle 3 and 4 times per match plus get the 3 or 4 lines in hybrid, I think that was a real significant boost from a third alliance partner, and as you called it a "rope-a-dope"! Plus, when they played D on you, it left us free to shoot and hurdle balls to you which was such a blast. My wife said that "hand-to-hand" ball transfer was really neat to watch. We opened up our arms and it looked like, "Here! We've got a present for you!" and then you reached in and took it and we sped off to get another. What a riot!
