[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by eolafan</i> <br /><br />Mookie, some engineers will switch from forward to reverse just before the energy of the forward motion is completely expended and so they are pushing against that momentum and must "get things back to zero" before they move in the other direction, thus resulting in the "straining" you speak of, all of which I have seen many times while "foaming". Does this make any sense at all to all of you folks? <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Yes it does. <br /> <br />Sounds like doing that would also be pretty hard on the motor itself.
