A big number earned due to a wide trip can said to be "ground loaded" (which would be fairly common for a deep closer)....not necessarily fast in terms of the timer but fast when the extra ground is taken in to account. There is a school of thought that believes that such a number is not as legitimate as one earned without losing ground and would therefore downgrade the performance. I never quite understood that position but have seen some of the more knowledgeable posters on this board (Miff for one) allude to it.
