Default Tell me what you think!

I have created a different type passing attack by using the passing stick method. I don't know if this is original, but please let me know. I use the passing stick method, but instead of using a ball target, I use a pendulum football. My point is the receiver is pivoted toward the pass and the defense pivots also. Once the switch is turned on and, if the receiver hits the ball, the switch stays on an he keeps on running. (the receiver will actually run through the football). This has created a really nice game. It helps eliminate the defense just trying to hit the ball. They must also angle some defenders to make a tackle on the catch. It also eliminates the second round of pivots if the pass is caught. Just thought I would pass this method around.

Default Pendulum

I will try to explain what the pendulum is in a few words. The football hangs down from a thread which about chest high to the players. The thread is tied to a long piece of thin wood which I have mounted to a leg. The football is about 20 yards from the leg, so their is plenty of room for all the action. You just let the football hang above the spot of the pass and the player will hit the football, and the ball will swing out of the path of the player. The player can just keep on running.

Default leg

The leg is mounted on a magnet. This type of passing really opens up the game. It definitely makes the game faster!

Let me try one more time.. How does the suspended football stay in place? Im trying to picture it hanging onto?? I can see it on a string then on your "leg" as you call it and then its staying stationary HOW? Is someone holding it above the field? Sorry for all these just trying to understand fully how this works.
