Hello all,

i dont know if anyone has seen this video but i think this is where real accuracy comes from. if you look at some of the good throwers there is still alot of power to be had in their shots. i think notable shots are ones at 0:01, 0:15, 0:20. it also seams they are holding the cords in a different fashion then we are. this is open for the general review and disccusion of all.
Very Respectfully

P.S

you might want to turn your speakers down, the music is annoying, sorry.

The "music" happens to be sung in Polish. Weird :-? :-?

The first guy in the 1st video is the best slinger. Muscle memory is something that has to be developed.

Yes he shoots really very well. With a huge power. His movement is very liquid.
The distance amount to about 20 m I think.

I think its pretty cool how they are all using baleric style yet they all do it differently with their own special addition to it. Also I noticed the best shots started out baleric style and then kinda morphed into a sidearm I will have to try that some time.

my question is, how are they holding the strings? it looks like both strings are being pinched between the fore finger and thumb?

That's how I do it, with the retention loop on my middle finger.

i thought the string that was tied to the middle finger was comming out bewteen the pinky and ring finger?

Whatever works for you is the right way to do it.

I believe eoraptor uses a grip similar to that also.  I tried it but couldn't hold on long enough.
