Gates and pullout
I'm sure this has been covered but in different ways. Would you'all just give your thoughts on the visual ques you use for the pullout and setup for gates and when to pull thru to gates. I have taken to a one handed keeping up the speed on pullout. Hitting 15 off @34 no sweat and getting 22@33 regular now, but know gates are going to have to get better and better. One course I get on has no 55m balls. So even more important to use other ques. Anytime anybody is in Myrtle Beach. ping me for a pull.8432227040

Re: Gates and pullout
As far as pulling out without the 55s goes, just try and keep your eyes @ where you're going to be ... skiing around 1. Keeping the widest-lense peripheral vision is the best thing you can do. You can't just time it by looking at the entrance gates alone, as you've figured out. You want to be able to see 5 line up with the gates. The exact timing is something you're going to have to experiment with.
