To me a low percentage shot is a bad shot, even if the result ends up okay. I won a playoff on a bad shot once. I released a bit late and my teebird flipped into the really thick rough. Fortunately, it managed to miss everything and fade back out into the clear. It was a bad shot with a good result.
I get what you are trying to say here. And with this point I mostly agree. You had a bad shot that ended well. Though here you were not planning on doing this, so to call it a bad shot is understandable. However, it is undeniable that the results were a "good shot"
A shot that's traveling high speed chain high is probably a bad line because if it doesn't catch the chains, it's going to cruise well past. But on those rare occasions, it can get lucky and catch. Again, a bad shot with a good result.
This point I disagree with. If you are some crazy skilled player that practices nothing but 100 foot lasers with a star boss and make the shot 10/10 times, that isn't a bad shot for that person. It does seem crazy, but when someone pulls off what they are trying to do, it's definitely not a bad shot
But you can also have good shots that finish in the chains. A disc that's fading out and finds metal is probably not going to end up outside the circle even if it misses everything.
