Slinging Byzantine
A few clips of my review footage, white sling is 27" black is 24". Posting it because there is not enough slinging content out there

But could you kill a lion sir??
If they don't see me first... And I get a luck shot 🤞😅
Cool! 👍
Nice! It's really cool to see all the movements that have to happen for a good sling throw. It's really useful to see the slow-mo next the full-speed throws.
@@IronGoober Thanks! Tread athletics has a video on the importance of regular speed video.
@@hsaunwtyeerrs yeah, I was thinking about that while I was watching.
That was very impressive...
This demonstrates how an ancient slinger would have been able to perform the role of a human cannon on the battlefield, with an unlimited supply of ammunition
Poor rocks! Thats one way to make sand though.
Very beautiful! Such GRACE! But did you hit your target?
Haha, thanks. I am not aiming at anything in particular. But even if I was, I would have to get lucky to hit it
Man! I'm blown away- the power you're putting into these stones is just incredible.Would you mind if I (eventually) uploaded a response to this vid in the next week or so? I'm making another sling again finally, and I'm trying to focus on getting better for next year. haha! Cheers! -Chris
Thanks, man. And feel free to 👍
I'm curious. If you compare it to this method, which one do you like better? ua-cam.com/video/drbUR_coDSU/v-deo.htmlsi=84Y1NS1xEmYwnkTf
I'm not very good at either of them, so I'll leave it to you to test them out :)
Great clip. AA's seems better for distance and projectiles on the lighter side; he is so quick. I am "trying" to use more of a discus form that I think lets you throw heavier or maybe use a longer sling if there is clearance
This is just a weird little theory/ idea, but was the water near freezing?
I don't think it was in this video, probably in the 60s or so
@@hsaunwtyeerrs haha gotcha! Just a bad hunch XD
Phenomenal technique!
Good throw bro, I watched this about 5,746,943,211 times. I will be sure to like and subscribe frfr on god sheesh
Me too
cool
This behavior is so weird. I don't understand how they skip left...
I think that it's the magnus effect. When throwing light balls that do not submerge, they skip straight or to the right. I have tried to get some good slo mo; but my phone doesn't really cut it. And my best footage was on my old phone that is sitting at the bottom of the pond 😅
@@hsaunwtyeerrs beware the hungry ponds! haha
I think you've got some serious distance potential. Have you been able to get any confirmed distance throws?(like throwing beyond a known distance, like a lake)
I have found a few golfballs at 210-220 yards throwing over that first treeline, not sure how much rolling there would be. That would probably be around my max stone distance too. I think light projectiles go further for me because of my mobility and cross country runner physique... so I may need to start bulking, lol
@@hsaunwtyeerrs 220 yards PAST the treeline?... That's certainly 300+ yards which is awesome. I think my best golf ball throw is somewhere in that range. My best distance stones weigh anywhere from 45-60g. Heavier doesn't got as fast, so not as far, and lighter go faster but lose velocity too fast and so they don't go as far. So I also see light ammo travel further, I think that's pretty normal.
Sorry, 220 total. There was one around 250 yards, but I think that was from a day there were crazy winds. I will try and paint some rocks to get some numbers but 300 seems pretty far off
@@hsaunwtyeerrs I bet you are closer than you think. Ive found I get max distance when I throw at a 35 degree angle, which feels like I'm throwing at a 45 or higher. That made a big difference in distance for me .
Muito bom! Parabéns!
You have really smooth form. Looks really clean, efficient and effortless. Did/do you play baseball?
Thanks, coming from someone with distance like yours that means a lot. I only played some in elementary, but liked throwing stuff in general. I have looked into some throwing mechanics but its hard to identify where to improve
@@hsaunwtyeerrs I know the struggle. In my opinion, the identification is a slow and steady process. Every time I think I've peaked, I'll notice some nuance of a pitcher or another slinger, make the change, see the improvement and realize I can continue to improve. A big one for me lately is staying "closed" during the initial part of the throw, i.e. counter-rotated. Basically I try to keep my back toward the target for as long as possible. This has really helped my velocity. That's just one of many, but is my most recent realization. Keep it up man! With your mechanics, I bet you have a lot more in the tank!
U should do a slo mo video with a 2 color ball so u can c what kind of spin u r getting.
I painted half on a few but it is still kinda hard to tell without going frame by frame even with the slow mo and the quality makes it so you cant see the spin when they are out in the water. I might make a video at some point but editing slow mo is a hassle lol
You have a nice, smooth, easy throwing style. I like it.
