If it is the one I am thinking of, you swing a sideway figure 8 or an infinity sign in front of you.  Once the momentum is reached you can let fly on either side.  I tried this but it is not very powerful.

Huge props to Tint, Cando and anonymous others for filling in (and reffering people to) the wiki on this topic. Everyone should take a look, and add to the info where appropriate. If we can start tot get the rest of the topics filled in in a similar manner then we'll *really* be on to something...

I'll try to get off my butt and transcribe some of the physics discussions this summer....

You're a real standup guy, Matthias!    Wink

I am such a derelict when it comes to detail.

Yes that the one. It is much like using a numchucka. I find it useful in tight cover. I have ocasionly use it in a pine forest. I also find it useful for releasing the stone
on your non firing arm side.
As for power of it if I make the final release side arm I find that power may be gained
But I find that true of all styles the final pitch can always become side arm.

I see.....


Using my keen powers of de-'duh'-ction....I surmised that if it wasn't an overhand figure eight, it must've been an underhanded sort of affair.


Cheesy

That's another thing about the Savage figure 8
the release can be overhand or underhand.
I should add when learning this style. It is common to strike your self with the loaded pouch. Considering it crosses across your body more than once

You need to pitch that one to Jackie Chan.

I can see his next Shanghai movie now....


Standing on a muddy main street in the old west...surrounded by gun slingers.....He whips out the old sling, starts going 'Savage'....patiently swinging it in exaggerated Nunchaku fashion...waiting for a flicker of movement.....suddenly, he releases it over shoulder to the rear.  Bam!  One man down....a quick reload and he's ready for the next stupid cowpoke to show his hand....


Or, maybe not.


His whipchain work is stellar though.
