If I slung underhand, I threw underhand, and if I slung overhand, I threw overhand. My overhand throws were about 31 paces, while my underhand throws were closer to 25 paces, so while the 2 O-SAST numbers were about the same, I actually got almost 50% more range overhand. I attribute this to simply letting go of the ball higher in the air, ....like throwing while standing on a tabletop, so no surprise. It's best to compare overhand to overhand, underhand to underhand, sidearm to sidearm, etc, I think.
My O-SAST with a 20"sling was just 1.7, so the longer sling gives increased range, but not as much as I might hope for inasmuch as quite a bit of accuracy is sacrificed.
