good sides of this, the retention cord won't be hitting anyone and sending them to the ground for a few seconds (my friend was rolling over in agony from it), and the stone would get a lot more power

Are you possibly referring to the release cord?

aren't those the same thing (release cord retention cord)? either way yes

My Dad sent me some cool new slings,and I thought ya'll might like to check them out.The baseball slings are untested(by me),but the shorter golf ball sling works well,and the caulk tube bucket sent both golf balls and misshapen rocks out at a dizzying speed.The caulk tube bucket boasts a small tube near the rear to keep things from sliding out on the windup.

All of the slings have "Thomas' non-traditional captive release mechanism".The handles are all fairly similar,so you can change them out quickly with the swivel snaps.

Thank you Dad!!

Brett

These slings are impressive!!I've been throwing golf balls with the caulk tube bucket,and I can't believe how well it works.The rocks I used just slid right on out.Thanks again,Thomas.

I recommend to all slingers;try out some of these designs,and you will start to notice improvement in your style,performance and velocity.I think I'm finished with the traditional sling.
