What tactics work best with the flatline? Obviously long-balling, but what else?

I tried using it in speedball and it gets people off the break really well.  You can fire through brush better with a flatline.  Do everything a front player would do, you have an excellent advantage with a flatty.

yeah I play front with my Flatty and it works great for that.  The only prblm is the weight and size but experience and tight snapshooting technique can make up for that.  Just get used to it like in your backyard.  Another speedball plus is that if someones in a very tight bunker and you know that theyre right up against the edge or you can barely see em then you can just turn the Flatty and gun on its side and send a curveball right around their bunker.  This is another thing that takes practice.  Also with my setup (in my sig) it is very easy to sweetspot guys off break with the help of the Flatline

Surpressive fire, at top range. Meaning shoot at ur opponents at top flatline range so you can hit your enemy with out them hiting you, pin them down, then have someone else flank them and hit them from a different angel.

curving balls around bunkers also works very well once u get it down right.

Here! Here! I completely agree. But you just can't give out info like that. Takes away the advantages.
