When that sling I have from Luis is this stiff, it is a terrible sling to use for normal slinging. Like all the rotation solely comes from the wrist. It's a dog to use. A sling must be pliable and supple in order to work, or it wouldn't be a sling, but a solid extension, like an atlatl stick. I like my slings to be ''stiff enough'' so that the cords do not cross each other when I turn my wrist back and forth. Make the sling stiffer than what is required, and it won't release well and suck energy from the system, make it too supple/pliable, and lose control over pouch orientation. I experimented with both. Find the perfect balance that is required for your ammo If you are not able to find this balance due to circumstances, than it's better your sling is too supple/pliable than too stiff, because you can still put a bandaid on that on too suppleness with Greek style, byzantine or any style without a rotor or spherical shot. Or simply deal with a more erratic shot. But a too stiff sling will not sling, or require extremely heavy ammo to open.
