Once again, Richard steps in where many think, but few dare to "go there".. I, too, hope this thread doesn't become a "Special Ed" project! Boys, school is out, we are in the big world now, so lets focus on the subject at hand, "Bouncing Balls..." No matter how titlating that may sound, it has a specific purpose for us, and watching which way our balls bounce has to be serious business on this forum! If one doesn't pay attention to the particulars, a ball that takes a bad bonce can seriously hurt or kill someone, anyone, within range until it's kinetic energy has been spent! So, we are looking at a rather serious discussion, (At least, that was the intent!) and we can and do have fun with it, but lets not carry it to extremes! If I'm oversteping boundries here, forgive me for sticking to the safety issues....I for sure ain't a prude, just interested in the concequences of badly bouncing balls! (Huh?) LOL, BoomLover
