Tornado Ramps - Coming to a table near you.

[Pixel]

Cons:

You lose the 3 to 5 passing series, which is effective for quick passes in singles and doubles sometimes.

True. It does take away that element of surprise. A 2-5 can still be used.

You lose the ability to defend in singles with one hand on the 5 and one hand on the 3, which is the most effective way if you want the right hand on the 5.

Use one hand for both the goalie and the 2-bar, and your right hand on the 5. Equally as effective, if not more-so.

You can't stop a ball from coming out of your zone by jamming the 3rd man against the corner, trapping the ball, and it will be hard to kick this habit. Many times in the Warrior tournament I slammed my 1-bar against the wall only to realize that there was no man there to trap the ball.

This is true, though it really should NOT take that long to adapt to.

Pros:

There are 11 men.. just like soccer. Whopeee.

Hello, straw-man argument. Care to address the real pros of this change?

Same:

Balls coming off the back well are less predictable and more erratic, leading to as many slop goals as went in off the extra men. So ramps increase off-the-ramp slop while eliminating the off-the-men slop, so that part is equivalent.

I fail to see how balls of the back wall are "less predictable" than they are now. The ramps are less than a 10 degree incline - and they're not marred with potholes and random bumps.
