On the high sticking rule. Example: I am not that tall, me as compared to someone who say is 6' 2", my shoulder would be naturally lower than his. To prove a point, I have had elbows in my face playing in London, such is the height difference, hence how is the ref gonna enforce this? As it is, the smaller player (i.e. me!!!) is being penalised more than the 6' 2" player no? Also, if you take a swing on a more upright position compared to a more leaning forward (aero?) position, wouldn't the person who is upright get away although his swing is much higher compared to the one leaning forward?
Just 2 pence worth.
Well, regarding the shoulders, the new rules make no mention at all, of what contact is allowed, so you could argue that elbows to the face are fine (I know that's not the intention).
Regarding a high swing, it seems to suggest that making contact is fine, as long as you are taking a shot. Which basically means "facecage-or-shutup"
