Maybe I'm not hearing you right, but this is not how "pinch the paint" is explained around here. Pinching the paint means stepping into the paint, not away from it. That's how it's used at camps on the east coast, anyway.


You heard me right. They want us to take two steps back to get a wider view. I found it interesting. I tried it a few times and am not completely comfortable with it yet.


If you said "almost never", I'd go with you on this. But there's always that one-in-a-million time when nobody had a look. That's why the rule is there. Hopefully, you won't make it up just to avoid the arrow.


This wasn't necessarily my philosophy Chuck, I was just relating info from the camp and the D-1 clinicians. The philosophy was that it was better to have the third guy take a WAG then have the whole crew look like three blind mice.
