Good ol' grandma, of course she said it in Italian, not until I was older did I realize what she was saying all those years.

I my opinion, passing sticks are in no way a crutch, they can be and are used by some as a crutch, but that is the person's perogative. Any man worth his salt should know how to use the TTQB, there is no doubt about it. The sticks have a place too though, but in serious MF the TTQB will always rule. I have brought the game to work in the past and some dudes were all pumped up, we played at lunch a time or two and they could not get the TTQB, in this instance the sticks made for some exciting games.

You have to learn the TTQB again, but the sticks can make for some good ball in the mean time. The other good thing about them is they can be adapted to many different rule sets and hybrid versions of play. They are a good thing!

That's my two cents worth!
