It's a semantic distinction, not an architectural one.  Change "force" to "reward," Paul.  Reward the ground approach, make the aerial more risky for the reward.  What does that?  It's Pavlov, Man, not Feynman.  (Having a two year-old son sure changes one's way of thinking about gca. 8))

OK...reward or force...it really depends on what side you're on ;).
I just like the idea of an occasionally smaller target that utilizes a bigger area to get you there.

Paul:

These guys on here will drive you nuts demanding that you use the exact, perfect, right, precise word for what you're trying to explain.

I know exactly what you mean, man---let's just go out there and do it, and anybody can call it anything they want to.

One spot you could do that in spades is on #2. There's 30 or 40 yards in front and left of that green site that could be used almost as it is as a kicker, filter or whatever you want to call it. And there are some other green sites that could work great in all kinds of ways like that.
