GRC and Mike, at the non-mainstream site the guy clearly said there is nothing wrong with knob to the ball as long as you are rotating the knob INTO the ball. What did he mean by that (I think it was Teacherman who said it), and what is the difference in what jack is saying? I agree with what GRC seems to be saying, that just a word or two is crucial, because the difference is linear versus non-linear.
