THAT'S the MatchUp. The essence and heart of MatchUp flavor. Not " immediately jumping" into par charts , par times, or adjustments when "this" can be done. Once a level of MatchUp proficiency is achieved, "little things" like this and stuff in the chapter titled "The MatchUp Guys" can polish our performance. Brilliant observations and methods of Mr. Bradshaw. Sometimes stuff can be so efficient ,simple and straight forward, our brain "conditionally" complicates it. We need to find drills and methods so the above quote is natural , MatchUp instinct. Tons of practice. VoodooFan
