nothing wrong with your first question on time, I didn't think it deserved the back lash, but you got a strong response from this statement

the days that the 1st rule that everybody learned was not to SPIN the rods!!! GOOFY is the snake shot!!! All you guys keep on spinning, the best players in the world shoot a pull, Horten, Loffredo!!!

Dead spots are completley natural on all foosball tables.
The spacing between each of the rods is just far enough apart to keep your rod and the oppositions rod at a distance so that the ball (while on the playing surface) will not become pinched between the 2 during play.

I honestly think that with any kind of ball control that he time limit is perfectly fine where it stands. If you can play, you can set a shot and shoot it (with plenty of time to watch the defense) with the current rule on time limit. I honestly think the pull takes just as long to set up as the snake. It also has just as many variables to consider while setting and shooting. This question is ludicrous.
I think you shoot the snake and that was my 1st ? so ease up. But either you dont have any kind of ball control or you know it takes longer to set the pull.

I wasn't trying to be sarcastic. I was just stating that I felt the question was really out of the realm of reality. Imagine adding 10-15 seconds per shot. Now realize that the tournaments are already running well over their  "time limits". If you add 10 seconds to every shot then you really would be slowing things down even more, and right now people are trying to figure out ways to speed up the tournament scene to run more efficiently (at least I've read a lot of concerned posts about this topic).

You're right, I don't have the best ball control, however, I can set a pull and snake both with relative ease. As far as what shot I shoot... I shoot a little bit of everything, I like playing in the net so I don't really practice as much forward as I should. You're right though, I'm leaning towards shooting a snake, to keep my wrist in good shape for blasting invisible pull shots from the 2 bar.

So, in that regard... sorry if I came off as being harsh, sarcastic, or even rude. It's just kind of how I express myself, that's one of the problems with message boards... the expression I would make while saying that would tell you that I wasn't trying to completely dismiss your idea. Just stating that I thought it wasn't very viable.
