Slinging Rocks!

finding the wiggle(wig) around point is important if you wish to take ur accuracy to the next step. but do know you will need a sling whose loop can be tightened up on ur finger to utilize it once it is discovered...it does not take a sling to find it, but a limber sling can be used.
each finger has a wig around point on it. but somewhere on ur hand is a finger with ur main wig around point. while many share the same wig around point, as there are only so many places on the fingers, it is not the same spot for everyone. mine is on my pointer finger, in the midsection of it with the knot to the top left.
to find it is not hard, but may take time to get right. get get a heavy string or limber sling, and put it securely on ur finger. let ur wrist go limp, and just allow ur hand to hang down with the string on one of ur fingers. do not use any of ur wrist or finger muscles. move ur arm in a motion that makes your line/sling start to rotate around while ur wrist and fingers remains as limp as possible. the proper wig around point is the place where it can rotate, and make a whooshing sound in both directions of rotation and while doing so is only a 'U' shape and not an 's' or more curvy for ur main spot(though it may be 's' shaped for a secondary fingers wig around spot.). move the sling to different points on ur fingers until you find the right spot. once found, that is where you are to place ur loop. after a lil practice u will note an improvement in ur accuracy. find the point on all ur fingers where each individual finger's wig around spot is so you know where it is and can switch up with styles and so forth, but you can easily tell where ur main one is.. for example when backhanding i use the wig around spot on my pinky finger but use the main one which is on my pointer for all other styles of slinging.
slings that just slip on a finger down to the hand knuckle are fine, buy you will never be as accurate as you can be until you find ur wig around. sincerely, RS "have u seen my wig around?"..jane's addiction
