Description\HOWTO:

This version of the map features two ways of holding your stick.
You can either pick it up with zero point, or use spacebar and grab it.
Each type of grip has it's advantage:
Spacebar pickup: assuming you are the same distance and select the same point to pick up, your stick will be alligned everytime, but if you mishandle the stick, swing too fast, you can drop it.

With the gravity gun, you risk no chance of dropping your stick. However, your stick will always remain an odd distance away from you and may not be alligned. 

Q: How can I score better???
A: I found I can get a really good success rate doing some neat tricks.
If you notice, the ball or watermellon isn't perfectly shaped. It's like an odd deformed cylinder. Trail the ball along with you to give it some centrifigual force, then hit it, not too hard, but not too soft. The centrigifual force will help it stay on target. I've had balls that were going to go outside the goal but swerved back in. From half-court I get a pretty good success rate doing the method mentioned.
