A book on the sling.

Trawling the internet archive I found this book.
I have only skimmed it but it seems fairly complete.

My outlook on life is Aristotalean; on seeing an Acorn I see a potential oak tree rather than Plato's view that it is a failed copy.

If Mr.Savage only needed 2 hours practice to become a master he must be a rare human indeed.

Joe, crafty use of double negatives will not result  in no retaliation.

😁👍

It seems that only from this book I see for the first time a clear shape of the number 8 in the trajectory of movement. Although at the same time it is not quite what we are used to considering a throw called "figure eight"? Or the illustration adds to the confusion? Is this a reason to raise the issue of names for this or that throwing style again?  Huh

In my opinion, my throw looks like a part of the trajectory of this movement and is more like a "figure 6".  Grin I tried to depict it in the second image. Except that the starting point is not above the head but at waist height, in front of me.  Wink
