    ForrestLeigh:
    isn't that wrong? your shot outcome is already affected by 'shot data'

    The way I understand it, the actual results of shots aren't predetermined but when,say, 1000 shots are taken, the random results are going to be spread out from the worst to the best, forming a range of results. As more shots are taken in that range, the odds of getting a specific result will decrease. 

    If you flip a coin 1000 times you're probably going to see a pretty close number of heads and tails. That doesn't mean, along the way, you won't see 10 straight heads flipped but in the end it will even out. The same could be said for that range of shots. 

    Heh-I'll beat the wiseguys to it and say no, your shot is not like flipping a coin although I'm sure there's a few that think it is.  ;-)

    I remember a post sometime ago from either nivlac or icon stating that the ball wasnt affected by being in the red on the meter......
