you really can't expect people to know your background and experience without telling them. the question you asked is something i knew the answer to before i ever got my first ball, so it's understandable that people would think you're a rookie at this. the way i see it, you can be defensive and rude or you can take the advice from others who have more experience.


i'm not trying to be rude or "put you in your place" this is just the situation as i see it. you asked for advice, so if i were you, i'd take it graciously
