My unsubstantiated gut instinct is that an "underhead" shot would be better as it would avoid people's hands and heads. It would, of course, require a glass table and I'm not sure how conducive that is to a stable game of Icehouse (unless you've got rubberized pieces or something). In the perfect land of puppies and candy that is my imagination that's how someone goes about making the supreme "how to play icehouse" instructional video. -- - |) () /\/
