Re(4): 'The Perfect Placement' shot or not?
Posted on March 14, 2012 at 11:11:09 AM by Joe V

The only player I ever throw the shank on purpose was the old Patxi (backcourter) who played middle / late games at Milford in the late 70's to mid 80's. I saw him score with it many times. He thew that shot when he caught the ball on his reverse and the opposing frontcourter was to his left.

99.9% of every other shank I have ever seen was by accident and why they call it a perfect placement makes no sense.
