I love you J
So great seeing all your evolution over the past year.
I remember discussing pouch positioning with you when you were very set on capture release Y slings. Now your almost a traditionalist with natural fibre braided slings.
What is important to remember is how all this data is almost a thought experiment more than a practical guide.
Hard data analysis of slingers/slinging mechanics and form is pretty much all backyard science. There are so many variables we are not able to isolate that it’s almost impossible to tell what is doing what. Our own experience becomes what we believe in and next thing you know your set in your ways.
I’m guilty, how many times have I said ”Dyneema”.
Jaegoor is another, aim with your belly
CA, split pouches suck.
We all find what works for us.
Just keep it fun. Don’t over complicate it.
The best thing about slinging is you can’t buy your way to accuracy or power , you can’t cheat it with science.
Practice will trump everything. Keep it fun!!
This.
Far easier than writing anything myself

Oh J
You are a funny guy . I don’t agree or disagree with your statements . What I find most entertaining about you is your consistent constant evolution.
I think if you’re able to actually quantify your theories you might have something valuable to the community.
It’s a hard sell on the .org
Hell I couldn’t even convince a guy that David was the favourite. Your gonna have a hard time discussing sling dynamics. But your showing great improvement and I feel your inquiries are warranted in this forum. All power to you my Flemish friend
