B_R, You have that Ac/Dc on the way, you will have to nudge or slap to get that ball from coming SDTM sometimes. Its just a fact of life to avoid those short ball times. But you know when it's excessive with the tilt warnings, even without them you know how much is too much.
A recent classics tournament taught me how to nudge, it doesn't have to be too hard, just a gentle jitter to get away from those outlanes.
