In Response To: Rollout settings (Stick)

I chose 360 cuz it is easy for me to do the math, I really think anything that is a multiple of 36 is a valid approach. I would start with 360, then 720, 1080 and 1440, after which i would switch to 2592, 5184 and the other multiples that Stick seems to prefer.

I understand that Paul Lamford rolled out the positions with Snowie 1, which was the strongest available at the time, and in hindsight did not to a great job of analyzing cube plays, as the newer rollouts show. Irrespective of the results, I thought it was a good book, presenting positions that you had to think about in most cases.
