I have realized about one detail.

I didn't remember that IG had played with that before (meaning the rubber band assisted pouch).

Just only to avoid the friction or the stone rolling on the release cord as much as possible.
He mentioned there was a noticeable release to the right, which could be explained by a pouch opening faster. That should help minimize projectile contact with the pouch and release cord.
You could also try a pouch made of a stiffer material. Here's some pics of a sling that was part of some recent discussion. This is the LD-1 from Sarosh. The pouch is a pretty stiff leather.
The sides actually stick out if a tennis ball is just sitting in it. But they will come together when the sling is rotated.I wonder if NOOC has one of these slings. He sometimes has access to a high speed camera (2000 fps). I wonder what the release of this pouch would look like. I'd love to see a high speed of that rubber band pouch release too.
Et est non simplicis habenae, ut Baliarica aliarumque gentium funda, sed triplex scutale, crebris suturis duratum, ne fluxa habena volutetur in iactu glans, sed librata cum sederit, velut nervo missa excutiatur.
Moreover, the sling is not composed of a single strap, like those of the Baleares and other peoples, but the bullet-carrier is triple, strengthened with numerous seams, that the missile may not fly out at random, from the pliancy of the strap at the moment of discharge,but, seated firmly while being whirled, 
may be shot out as if from a bow-string.
It seems you have finally solved the mystery!
