I really gotta say... this has GOT to be *The Most* plain, no-nonsense, brilliant, and perfect way to put this whole concept across - seriously! No BS to cut through, just straight and directly into instinctual feel - this is the best, flat-out, no fluff method to own this skill I have ever seen portrayed *anywhere* on this topic in the entire internet (Yes, I research the Hell out of things). Excellent tutorial! Thanks! 🙂👍
I like "if you can throw, you can sling" and the stick is an excellent teaching tool that I've been meaning to start incorporating to when I show people how to sling. Great video!
I've purchased two slings from this guy, he even sent me an email back discussing this exact throwing mechanic. Overhand, not figure 8. They may seem a little pricey but worth every penny. I'm a newbie, but so far can accurately hit a dinnerplate sized target (with force) from 50 feet. Tennis balls are great, the little foam one he supplies has a ball bearing in the middle.
A friggin magician! That's who you are! Tried this technique and even with my uncoordinated body I was able to throw tennis balls around the yard in less than 15 minutes. Actually I quickly reached the other problem - the throw is too powerful! Now I plan to go somewhere safe and practice some more. Thank you for sharing this concise tutorial!
Thanks! I wish I could take credit but this technique is natural for most of us. I am not sure when the sling became so misunderstood, if you ask a random person how they work they usually make a spinning motion above their head. Not many of us like the idea of spinning a rock around and hoping it goes in the right direction. But once we get the concept of bringing the sling into a natural throwing mechanic, it clicks and it is powerful fun.
I am so glad I started slinging. Made a paracord one for fun a few years ago, instantly hooked, always wanted to try, but ya knw. I made a few more this year, and make it a point to get out and work out, but man, will go all day if i could, but usually have to recover for a day or two after.... Amazing how devestating those shots are, and how natural it is, and with the right length, and weight, is just like throwing a ball just superpowered.
Thank you! The sling would be much more widely used if people in general understood how intuitive they can be.

Interesting technique! I learnt slinging by myself, somehow developed a way where i start with a hanging rock, slowly swing it up in front of me, then add power behind me to release low/side. It's even fewer motions, and it's really powerful. Although the accuracy might not be the best, since there's not enough time to feel where the rock is. I will try this version too, looks a good blend between the traditional spinning method, and my one. (i have a slinging video on my channel from about a year ago, if my description wasn't clear enough and you're interested)
As a training ball, maybe a hacky sack (not sure of spelling) or similar juggling balls, which is like tiny beads encased within sown material (which I have). I think hack sacks are made similarly. Great starting method with a stick to get technique correct. Curious to check your other vids if you show alternative throwing options/techniques. Cheers
Thanks. A hacky sack could be a good training tool. I have never considered it. Have one around here somewhere and will give it a go. Currently working on a few other vids including a sidearm technique.
I love fig 8, but not always the best for all shots but is simple and natural. every other sidearm and underhand, just need a gentle revolution and that final accelleration throw and follow through, boom! fig 8 throw, or sidearm overhead, underhand, as versatile as you need for weight you have.
Ive always done it greek style and that got the bullets to go far left sometimes which is going to be bad news if i hit something there, tried out the technique in this video, so far ive gotten a fairly nice grasp of how to do it, but i shot it far too low, or, *too high* which is also bad, because too far = property damage, i will only do this in the wooded area i wont be hitting anyone or anything there
This weapon is cool, and people who have unique ways of using it only make it seem cooler, there has to be a golden age comic book character who uses it, "Sling Man"
Yeah, it is really an interesting tool. I have never thought about the ancient legends that it may have created, cool idea! It is one of the few things we can do today to gain a legit superhuman power.

Thanks! Much appreciated!
Bullshit.

Thank you! Your videos have been very inspirational over the years. You have done a lot of great work for this sport.
This is the best way to learn to cast powerfully and accurately, great video!
Thank you!
I sling a Greek style, I will have to try this though, the mechanics make a lot of sense. Thanks.
Greek is a great style, this one should make a lot of sense to you with that foundation.

I like that someone finally ties slinging motion to throwing motion.
Slinging should be an Olympic Event.

That was cool. I definitely had all those misconceptions.
Really clear and concise way to explain it.
Glad it was helpful!
Great, scaffolded learning. Thank you!
Thank you, appreciate the feedback!
This is the most helpful how to video on slinging I have ever seen thank you for sharing

Thanks! I searched for your video and couldn't find it. If you have time, shoot me a link I would love to see it.

Really good, clear vid, mate! Nice one! 👍🏴
Thanks!

Thanks your technique work briliant im so mutch better now
So glad, it helped!

Excelente!!!
The movement of the sling seems very similar to a tennis racquet during a serve, to me.

Thank you but you should edit out throwing at vegetation. Children learn what they see
He says ‘release’ like Derek Zoolander
Why is this not an Olympic sport? It would be true to the time period.. right?
My mistake was combining sling with blade.
And then you wanted some French fried taters. Hmm hmm...
Okay, the slinging is cool, but maybe don't blast holes in ancient cacti.
