Inevitably the ball got stuck in the 'V' of a branch so I heaved on it, winding the cord round a piece of wood to give me more grip on it.

I find my safest option is just setup a sloper, using a 7 metre squid pole is best for me!
My ball throwing ability is not good, my hand grenade throwing ability in the military, was a failure, too :-)
