wow I remember when they were making the video.

Talked to luis about it at the time.
He reckoned his biggest problem was actually balancing something as small as a lead glande on his sling.
The fact that he managed to do it at all and hit something - tells you how good he is.

yeah he is an awesome slinger, and a thoroughly good bloke as well
He's one of those that slings full power for targets.
Has a really neat technique where he partially crouches and uses the uncoiling power from his knees and leg muscles to add to the throw.

I think diego has video of me copying it during a slighlty inebriated evening when I was doing slinger style impressions.
Not entirely sure my knees could take it any more

And david was over the moon when they asked to use his video footage.

It was sometime either last year or the year before.

And I wouldn't worry about being outclassed by luis - there are maybe a half dozen guys in the world as accurate and none who sling as accurately and as hard as he does. 

And No I STILL won't stand against a wall while he slings tennis balls between my legs
Having him and Raul (new generation menorcan no1) target me when we were just slinging sea sponges at each other, was bad enough lol

Tried various ways to get in but cannot watch it.

Saying Luis is the best slinger in the world is controversial He's a much better slinger than me (and better than I'll ever be) but I think Jaegoor might have him beat.

it takes him 30minutes to make a balearic sling? pretty fast

Hmm, jaegoor versus luis.
Luis throws a lot harder - always.
So in a combat situation - I'd always give luis the edge.

Jaegoor on the other hand is unmatched at low power snap accuracy - he does train almost every single day !
It shows

Certainly luis is one of the top 5 in the world.

As there's never been a competition that tests all the aspects of a total slinger.
It's impossibble to say who is world number 1
There are certainly a good half dozen who would be in the running.

Some are better at short distance accuracy, some better at distance.
There's never been any competition for distance accuracy - say 100-200 metres.
So that would be a fascinating competition.
If I ever winf the lottery I'll stage it

It's fairly safe to say that luis is the most consistently hard throwing slinger currently in the world.
I mean when you're 6 feet 5 inches tall, built like a tank and a professional fitness expert - you do have a certain natural advantage

i will put my my money on RS as the best slinger in the world
