- Lyman should note that the bang back can be physically dangerous
- to ones health. I also suspect (from experience and using a modified
- version of it) that it can have a long term effect as well.
- In my case I find my right hand can get pretty sore from practicing
- to the point where I had to where a glove on my hand to play in a
- tournament once. That was the hand I always used for the bang back.

- P.S. To Lyman: With regards to slam tilts... Seems to me
- you were the one slam tilting this past weekend and abusing
- the machine needlessly to boot :)
