About the "Power" Shots
"Power" Shots are super throws that have a special destructive power.
There are all kinds of unique "Power" Shots, and most players have a
"Power" Shot or two hidden up their sleeve. The "Power" Shot doesn't
happen all the time, it requires a "special timing" for its occurrence.

This throw is fast, powerful, and destructive. It flies straight toward
its intended target.
The Uppercut - Jack (Pro All-Stars)
This throw flies straight at the target and as it hits the opponent, rises
straight up into the air, taking the opponent with it.
The Wave - James (Team England)
This throw moves in a wave-like motion and slams the opponent to
the ground.
The Stinger - Rajiv (Team India)
This throw buzzes around and follows the opponent until it gives him a sting.
