    Understood, but you have to try it first. It may work like it did on mine. If I didn't try it I would have never known. See what I'm saying?

    Yeah, that's good and all, but I wouldn't just toss it in (thats just my opinion) They may wanna try the whole danggling routine to try and get the ball interested. And yes, simple first, I agree!

    Sadly, none of these things work for me. All of mine just either ignore it or seem bothered by it.

    I'll just stick to what works for me: Live.
