may I, for instance, use a tip to perform a dink?
btw: in the definition of 'roll shot' the word 'their' should be replaced by 'his or her'.
Although it is not excruciatingly correct, it has become acceptable to use “their” in place of “his or her,” “his/her” or “his and her” when referring to a person whose gender is unknown or irrelevant. Linguists refer to this phenomenon as the “singular they” usage.
the goal of a tip always is what you defined as a dink.
As a result of your concern, I did a bit more research and found two that indicate they are the same thing.
To remove any ambiguity from the quiz, I have replaced one of those terms with something else.
