Allen, Ted, et al, The main reason I _might_ choose _not_ to increase the letoff distance has to do with volume. Certainly, under _most_ circumstances, this would be good. Here, I think that approach might simply result in having the folks pound more. Truly, maybe not - a very great deal will depend on watching _how_ they play.
