Looks like a couple of my early PJ pouches before I started them in the middle and worked out to both ends. Personally, I like a nice even pouch but I guess if it works for you then a wide at one end and thin at the other end pouch is ok.  

Like the guy in the other thread I've always figured you were going for a symetrical pouch for best slinging. Looks like this might not always be the case. Looks like you learn something new everyday.  

I made one from jute woven into cotton that had a much longer taper and came out really well, but I gave that one away already, before I took a photo.

There are some asymmetrical pouches similar to this in the threads about medical tape pouches.

pouches are asymetric made of medical tape,    

Thanks, Jerry.  I got a chance to give a white cobra, cotton on cotton, a really good workout today.  We visited my buddy Del at his campsite at a little lake in the Pines.   He used a tape pouch bamboo staff sling I'd given to him and I used a TSSS and a cobra sling.  The wind was doing funny things today.  It was gusting to 40 mph today around here in South Jersey.  From the shore where we were shooting  the wind was directly in our faces.  With the Cobra I was able to snap the shot high over the lake.  Once at around the half way mark if the trajectory was high enough our shots would reach a point where the wind reversed directions, which would carry the stone almost to the other side of the lake.  The hang time was phenomenal.  Del had been shooting his staff sling incorrectly.  When I gave it to him there hadn't been time for a lesson, so we took care of that today.  He had a great time.  His short shots would skip across the lake six or more times.  Several times he nailed the shot and hit that zone where the wind reversed and the stones sailed.  I think Del became a slinger today.  I hope this makes sense.  I keep falling asleep while trying to proofread it.  Time for bed.  'night, all.

Thanks, Steven.  I'd seen this thread before and was actually thinking that I should have saved it.  I want to try a design like that... a very long taper on a tape pouch sling.  Tape pouch slings are good to experiment with because if your design doesn't work you haven't invested a lot of time in it.  If it's a good design than you can probably create a woven counterpart.  
   You can get the wrong spin (top) from a long taper too.  It depends on your style of slinging.  So far the long tapered Cobra head and other asymmetrical designs have  worked out well for me.
