Of course, this is subjective to being in the right place at the right time.

Or try this - call it the Push-Pin strategy.....
Do what you said, but then have a partner pin it in their homestretch while you lap and do whatever. Repeat as necessary to achieve proper annoying effect........
Adds even more delay as not only would they have to lap the ball to get it "hurdleable" again, they'd have to waste even more time trying to pry it away from your defending partner first.
Even better, have your partner pass you your trackball across the opponent's finish line as you pass them the opponent's trackball. You would be free to grab your trackball, make the short quadrant jump to your homestretch, and hurdle away. Play a flexible offensive/defensive strategy throughout the match.
This all requires the proper coordination but it would be quite awesome to see, IMHO.
