Is there a reason you keep switching styles? For a beginner do you think using only one style would be better until you get some accuracy?

Sticking with one style andand practicing it religeously is the best method for accuracy. Unfortunately for me, I get bored easily and sticking to one style when there are so many different ways to use a sling sounds extra boring
I started off with helicopter and got good enough that it wasn't going backwards. After that I've tried to learn every sling style there is and I think I can do all of them now just not all perfectly with certainly not with perfect accuracy. The style I'm most accurate with is Greek but it's also possibly my least favourite style which makes practicing difficult

I've found (thanks to the help of this board) that this really kills slinging for me. I can't use the same technique for an extended period of time, even if I switch styles between then. In the end I loose all ability to use that technique.

Same for me
I am constantly switching it up and trying to learn all the styles.
