That is true, but absolutely not the point, as you already mentioned, people using the same program for their "fun". Illegally btw, or who paid 600 bucks to buy CS3 for their "fun2"?

Anyway, back to topic: When it's about baseball, I have never ever seen those fun guys waltzing into the next stadium and asking "Hey guys, we have seen you playing for a while now and it's amazing how people love your play and how great it looks like. What technique do you use?" And even if they did, the answer would probably be something like "Well, in general we try to hit the ball and run around this white cushions on the ground, that's it" But the fun guys keep bouncing back after 10 minutes yelling "Hey, you were lying!" We exactly did what you said and there is still no crowd cheering! There must be some special technique and you just won't tell us because if you did, we'd become better!"

No, those guys are smart enough to know it's a totally normal thing to just keep playing in the park, having fun and admiring the pros from the distance. Yes, they use the same gear and play by the same rules, but they play in a way the fun guys just can't keep up with.

Luckily I got my program legally. I once bought a game system for $400. Fun can be expensive. No need to make unfair assumptions.

Not every single person on this forum is a professional. Professional players get asked for tips a lot and some teams hold clinics for fans. There are often many ways to get the same result. This was actually mentioned on the first page by another poster here. Those guys that play for fun still play hard and many of them play well.

No need to try to "argue" or condescend over the Internet. I asked a simple question and some replies were the helpful tips I was looking for. I've been done posting in the thread but wanted to thank "insensitive" for the helpful link. I just added in my reply an agreement with anther poster here. It was definitely interesting to see the thread still around.

No problem hun. Its a really fun technique if you use it well
