no. but i have started gathering some of the info for mr. skinner. in a way i feel bad about doing it like that, but i will show him a couple things regarding it anyway. it is a chore but one i am not too burdened by. but i am going to start making a series of training videos later this spring and summer. drills for slinging improvement, one of the best places to do said drills, show a few neat things about different styles that i have not seen others show, and among many other things..."the game"...
the game is the ultimate in slinging games, witht he exception of playing war. it involves one certain type of slinging move called,(for a loooong time) "the floating backhand." the playing forum requires a small bit of a set up, but really is easy to adjust. each man, for the most part will have a slightly different webbing height...according to his personal 'full' cubit(measured from the bent outside elbow to middle finger tip, or two and a half spans of the hand. (span is used here to mean length and not full area or expanse as it also means) as a cubit and two and a half spans are virtual equal). so no one has advantage. the projectile leaves the sling, cannot go over the man's webbing which is set at his cubit in height and the longest thrown distance wins...it has to be done with the floating backhand only which requires a certain hold and follow through....the entire maneuver feels completely unnatural but is call by the name that it is because when the projectile is released it floats a cubit or less off the ground for as far as it can go(if it touches the webbing it is disqualified, if it goes out of bounds sideways or touches the sticks holding the webbing, it is disqualified, and when it touches the ground it is dead, i.e. rolling does not count towards distance.) as each man's height is raised or lowered according to his own body, no one can claim disadvantage one way or another....it is supposed to be the deciding factor of who has the best working understanding of slinging dynamics...today i got, and with my non dominate hand i might add...approximately 16 metres,(i had no webbing but was easily within height) a new record for me...when i do the video to show how it is set up, i will offer a trade forum challenge, prized for any who can beat my distance, which will be recorded at the time of instruction and show u the results.
side note: the same source in which i got this and the staff info. also lays out, what it calls, the proper sling to body size measurements. but i will hold that down for now as well.
iow's i am going to wait on much of what i have to say until the videos to keep assertion slinging loudmouths at bay. i will post them on youtube and perhaps leave a link here.
Why can't you post that information that has been requested here? In mutiple posts across this forum, that you have done. Multiple people including myself has requested you post links to information. To which you haven't done it yet. Also when you started on this forum, a few members had issues with your attitude, that you are the ' all knowing sling master' which if you can't backup your information to what you stated. It seems you are pulling this information out if thin air. This forum is for sharing knowledge, and discussing it. Not picking random stuff from your 'secret ' crystal ball that has connections to the past.
