You can tell by the way the ball reacts. On a beveled plate it's really easy.

That's how you can tell it hit the black. But, how is it obvious it hit the black only?

I agree with you completely, Dakota.

It's the beveled ones I was referring to where it's physically impossible to hit black and not white (unless the dirt is dug way down). If a plate is made differently, such that it's more easily possible to hit black without hitting white, it seems to me it would be FAR from obvious that it hit black without hitting white.
