Morphy, to understand what I am saying you must first understand what Jaegoor was saying about rotor angle and height variation and I am saying that basically the same thing can be done with Greek by varying the height of the hand that holds the stone. But honestly, this phenomenon we are discussing is not fully set in stone either because I can still hit low even when the rotor is behind my back and not horizontal, its the final rotation that matters and the transition that is made to that final rotation. He calls it bullshit and in the end its the same circle and we all get back to do things just like we like to do them
To be fair if he called it that it was probably more frustration than anything else. I think everyone here has a healthy respect for all the different styles.
But you bring up a good point. Do we have examples of good slingers using rotors in other positions than what has been debated here? And if so how do we account for that?

I like the Greek throw with a short sling but I dont find it works well at all with a longer sling (hand to center chest or more). I have found it accurate and quick. A Greek start into a sidearm throw is something I'd like to explore more with the camera to see if I get consistent pouch control and rifled launches.
I love the "idea" of the Greek throw I just have one problem which is its hard for me to get a good feel for the stone with such a short motion. The wind up is like a quarter turn or less. But ya the idea is very appealing. Hold the sling in such away that you can get a shot off instantly.
