I just got to thinking (probably not a
good thing) but if one was using passing sticks, and you want the receiver to run a down and out pattern, how could you do that when placing the passing stick in front of the receiver would spot the ball out of bounds?? That would require the player to run inbounds a good 10 - 15 yards first, instead of straight near the sidelines and turning.
Would it make sense to have a special passing stick just for that kind of pass???
But then, if you did, wouldn't it make it almost automatic to complete that sort of pass if a special short stick was used for those occasions??????
