The wider the gap between the retention and release cords is, the faster the ammo exits the pouch after you let go of the release cord.
Would it then be even better to place the retention cord on your ring finger?
I wouldn’t say wider is better necessarily. It just changes the timing a tiny bit. Wider spreads will also cause the pouch to roll back and forth during a swing too, so your ammo position in the pouch will change depending on the relative angles of the two cords when you let go.

“My final hour is at hand. We face an enemy more numerous and cunning than the world has yet seen. Remember your training, and do not fear the hordes of Judas. I, without sin, shall cast the first stone. That will be your sign to attack! But you shall not fight this unholy enemy with stones. No! RAZOR GLANDES! Aim for the eyes! May the Lord have mercy, for we shall show none!“ -Jesus the Noodler

So THAT is the weird thing I have felt since I placed the retention on my ring finger
