So what do you like if you have one of these guys and they're about to go into the championship tomorrow or a week from whatever, what kind of structure would you, what would be some advice, like, as far as testing the dogs, how, like, I guess what I'm asking is how can somebody really put mental pressure, because that's pretty much what is left without the stick yet, and be a

What do you think between if you go really fast drive with a lot of like maybe make like 35 motions with a stick versus much slow down drive.
