    I have a few questions about the wind and adjusting the shot according to the wind.

    1.  If the wind indicator is directly into your face does it affect the ball more than if the wind is at an angle to you and not directly in your face?  I ask because many times it seems like even if the wind is more of a cross wind it seems to affect the shot pretty much the same as if it were directly in my face.

    2.  Can I increase or decrease the affect of a cross wind on a ball by hitting the shot either to the left or right of the "perfect" ball strike line?  I ask because I've played 1 vs 1 matches where my ball moves significantly left or right because of a 25 mph wind but my opponent's ball goes virtually straight with very little if any affect by the wind.

    Could use some answers on these questions.  Thx in advance for your responses.

    Yes it does!

    It's like a side spin on the ball, most desastrous when spin adds to the wind...
