Well, OK... a little angle, but I was just saying that it's a little more clear to say the arm closer to the division line. Whatever works for ya'

so you use the arm closest to the division line which would be the right arm if you are on the left end of the court facing the table??? can you still see the players that are not on the line back around the top of the key elbowing each other????? periffeal(sp) vision is blocked by that arm and makes it hard to see.... imho, i think the left arm on the left side facing the table is better to use???
any other opinions and reasons?????

not saying either is better, just wondering who does what and why?? i have been taught that way... [/B][/QUOTE]

Your arm is only raised on the release of the FT. Not sure how it could interfere with viewing the players above the kay. Turn a little left or right to eliminate the issue if it is really a problem.

Arm away from shooter's field of vision is the only way to do it (and that is the arm closest to the division line). [/B][/QUOTE]

Yes - unless you're raising your arm before the FT is shot (which you should not be doing) then the shooters field of vision has no bearing on this. That arm is raised for the benefit of the table.

As for the wrist flick, I already told you I use the hand that is closest the opposite sideline so it is *not* the only way. And if you do the wrist flick such that your leg hides it there's no need to be concerned with the shooter's field of vision.

And if you completed "Walking and chewing gum at the same time 101" it won't be a problem.
