This "mechanic" has saved me several times in those bang-bang pass situations. When my partner sees that I have a tipped ball, he knows to give it back to the offense.

And, yes, I know that this is not a "real" mechanic.

Thoughts?
Big Dave,
On my partners Line, if I see a tip, I just stand there like a stump, unless he looks at me, and then I give a direction.
The only tip I give is a "Foul tip", and only if someone is on base.
