So up for discussion whats your opinion for what should be the designations for the difficulty of the pin placements. I'm putting together a pin placement movement schedule and need to know whats the hard/easy placements for this.

Here are the placements;
#1 Left long/Right Short
#2 Long/Short
#3 Left Short/Right Long
#4 Left Straight/ Right
#5 Short Left/ Right Long
#6 Left Hillside/ Right
#7 Left Long / Right Short
#8 Left Culvert / Right Hillside
#9 Left Hillside Tree / Right Culvert

Let me know your thoughts and I can put together a 4x layout schedule for moving the pins (in which you only have to move half the baskets a month.

IMHO:
#1 Right/short is ever-so-slightly harder.
#2 Long - obviously.
#3 Left. The OB is not quite as dangerous, but there are more obstacles.
#4 Left. In the right you can run right up the creek bed.
#5 Long because, you know, it's longer.
#6 Left/Hill is much harder due to the wind and the trees (and putting on a steep slope).
#7 Left Long
#8 Left/culvert due to the OB.
#9 Neither...I guess maybe the right due to the culvert.

Kent, I think you might be right. I hadn't gotten to actually play some of those placements till yesterday believe it or not. I thought #3 in the right would be harder due to the creek being right behind the basket but I think in the left it plays harder and more people go OB in that placement.
Of course the question is how many of the people who play RH know/play the OB's out there.

On the official list of OBs, I would like to add the following:

On #1, The fence surrounding the park. There is a greater risk of OB in the Right Short placement, as shown by Roger yesterday with his upshot going over the fence.

On #6, in the Left Uphill placement, a high shot has a risk of going onto the baseball field. Over the fence, onto the field would be OB.

On #8, in the Short Uphill placement, there is a sidewalk surrounding the tennis court. I drove, and with the wind, hit the tennis court fence. My disc landed on the sidewalk so I took the OB for that shot.

I will now diagree with myself. After watching all the horrible putting on #8 right/hill, I'll say it is harder than the left placement - plus it's closer to that annoying tennis court sidewalk. Also, on 9, I think all the aces and near aces were in the right placement, right?
