Beautiful and not ordinary style

Look how nice and unusual this guy is slinging!

What do you think about this? Looks like a helicopter style or as it is also called overhead.

I noticed that even the same style looks different for different people. It seems that the styles are in slinging infinity.
So many opportunities for projectile release, diagonal release, horizontal, vertical, and at different angles.

I've noticed that in the 21st century, so many people don't know what a sling is. And this despite the fact that they all know about the history of David and Goliath, and the sling is an ancient weapon, possibly forgotten

That's one of the Guam guys. That seems to be the most common style they use from what I've seen in videos.

yeah roman has a really smooth helicopter throw.
the drop down before the final throw is his own style Smiley
Like everything he does - roman does it with a lot of energy and doesn't hang about.

that was at the school in ses salinas.
Always a great lunch there Thumbs Up
And the yard we sling in, is surrounded by carob trees - at that time of year full of carob pods - which smell like chocolate and are used as a chocolate substitute.

The video was taken by marcos of ibiza.
