Slinging while sitting down (because I have to)
Feb 5th, 2023 at 10:37pm
 
My ankle is healing well, but it's still going to be a while before I'm able to move around normally.  So I tried out slinging from a seated position.

I thought sitting down accuracy would be pretty tough but you're making it look easy!

Nice man!  After the first 4 or 5 you really got in a groove for a bit. Thumbs Up

The seated takes some getting used to in that you need to have your hips in one position for the entire throw.  Definitely a weird feeling.

I've been working at 20 meters.  Although I've started putting weight on my foot so hopefully I'll be back on my feet soon.  But this is the best round of 10 balls that I've done so far.
