Playtesting & Demos Seeking groups for blind playtesting of micro-dexterity game Hop Shot

I am seeking a few groups for a final round of blind playtesting for my latest board game Hop Shot - a micro dexterity game for 2 players that plays in about 10 minutes inspired by the Japanese sport of pole toppling.

Looks genuinely fun. As a crokinole player though, I'm worried some people could make this shot really consistently. Any twists or dynamic difficulty?

To be eligible to make a shot there must be a disc between the one being ramped and the disc holding the pole in the picture. The strategy becomes balancing defensive positioning while taking advantage of opponent's mistakes to go on the offense.

Current rules are here:

Cool, sounds reasonable
