Drop

[Stéphane Collin]

Hi Phil.

I don't understand why, but I did also notice clearly that a lessen of even up to 5 mm blow distance was not perceptible as a lost of power.

One more situation where real life shows to be more complicated than theoretical formalization.

| 
| Real players know how to create power. It's our job, in my opinion, to give
| them control.
| 
| Good luck with this.

| just my humble rook opinion,
