can someone provide a better translation than google translate of Jaegoors post (reply #23)?
In this case that doesn't pay off. Jagoor said a lot of such trivialities you already know or views that are not true:
1. Sling-tuning needs a lot of experience in slinging and manufacturing
(wrong! Sling tuning needs only two hands, some tools and perhaps some material)
2. Slings can be customized to individual slingers.
3. You can vary the length of sling
(... Aha! Great knowledge!)
4. You can vary (resp.: influent) its thickness / mass (by vary the number of strands)
WOW - I already thought the same!
5. You can decrease the speed of release cord by giving it more or less "cracker" (= the brush at the end of release cord what makes the sonic boom)
6. With this cracker the sling would open later (slower)
7. This cracker is the critical point for accuracy at all
(... what is definitely wrong!)
8. If your hits constantly lands too far on the left than there is to much force / strenght in your arm
(... what is nonsens too!)
10. Here a "break" (means "cracker") ends in astonishing / amazing results (means: If your release cord would have a cracker, than you would hit the target much more often or "better"
... if not, than not ?¿!
)
11. The most difficult part of tuning relates the pouch
12. The two halfs (sides) of the balearic type of split pouch should have the same thickness as the release cord, but you can vary the length of each half. At the most they are of the same length.
13. If your hits lands to far on the left, than shorten the left half (side) a little bit. Than your hits went more to the right automatically.
14. If your hits lands to far on the right, than shorten the right half (side) a little bit. Then your hits went more to the left automatically.
15. The perfect style is a requirement for sling-tuning
(... ??? Solches Deutsch versteht nicht mal ein Deutscher richtig)
16. You always will throw evenly (means: ... if you would tune the pouch as said here -
Jaegoors german speech often tends a little to "broken german speech" here - dont know why
)
17. No pains at any point of your body (means: ... if you would tune the pouch as said here). Even then if you would throw very much.
18. If you have pains then work on your style - not on the sling
(... what a contradiction! Tune your pouch but do not work at the sling)
19. Before you have achieved "rank red" or "(rank) brown", than do and use no kind of sling tuning
(... WHAT ???)
20. Here you can read the separated ranks of novizes - unfortunately only in german.
http://www.ottonenzeit.de/slinger/slinger4.html21. It is similar to martial arts sport (means the ranks: "yellow belt", "red belt", "brown belt" ...)
22. That would be a good method for keep an international standard
23. Ther are only very less slingers which adress oneself for this - but there are also very less slingers who practice regulary actually. But for this "system" (of ranks) this would be absolutely necessary.
(all red typed remarks are only from me!)
In totally that means that other types of slings (simple leather pouch or sth. similar) can't do their job actually: "When using a simple leather pouch then you always throw to far on the left".
"Do not throw very strong or with force - otherwise your hits went to far to the left (if you are a right-handed slinger)"
"If you are a boxer and got some pains on any point of your body, than you do something wrong - to prevent pains do not work on your bloody nose or your boxing gloves but on your trainee!"
"But tune your
belt ... ähh ...
sling first when got / achieved the red or black
sling ... ähh ...
belt in slinging-karate or taek-won-doo-slinging! Otherwise comes the geman sling~ pendulum~ and nunchaku police and wobbels you to death."
In his post before Mr. Jaegoor also wrote such interessting things like: "Accuracy is an interessting thing, what can be learned".
Did you already know
THAT
incredibly new fact(s) ???
