If you hit it hard enough, it has to go in somewhere. (y)

I found it especially interesting that they were fretting about which way the nap ran on the nose of the cushion.
 
Robbo started that. But I'm not sure if that was actually based on data or just a general feeling that it might be slightly easier to pot the ball with the nap on the cushion than against it. I've actually asked a few old pro's when the nap was thicker if they actually took the nap on the cushions in consideration and their answer was no.
Wish the mythbusters were still around so they could test it!
