Congrats to all competitors on both versions of this game.
I have recorded 593.5 on the long hitting site and 323.5 on the shorter hitting site.
I dont think either can be bettered, (20 of us at work also agree).
We need to find a site than can go over 600 !!!!!!

I hate to tell you guys, but one the conclusion of my techie pals is that the scores are actually randomly generated. If you keep going long enough, you'll get the high scores, but it's got little to do with your skill.
How depressing is that?
😉
593.5 is my highest score too. Looks like that that is as far as it is possible to go.
