Throw thru intended target and it usually will fall threw several other limbs. Let ball go to ground, then attach second ball and line (2 balls, two lines). Pull up and manipulate to isolate desired crotch.
Double posted about double bagging. Lol.
Grazing the grass. Every inch you can get adds to the lever and makes the height easier.
Ground to kneecap usually.
Well, I'm just having some fun. Work is fun too if your doing it right.
Been there!
Sounds divine.
Rec climbers aren't on a time schedule. I use a bigshot. I personally kinda suck handthrowing. I seen guys waste a lot of time because they refuse to use the bigshot. I use a bulldog bone, foot ascenders etc, use the best tool for the job, so why not just get the rope up quickly and be done. It irritates me when I got a climber throwing the throwball all over the place and I am already heading up the line Now for all you that can hit those high hard shots in under 3 tries more power to you, but most cant and it becomes a fiasco.
Part I don't get, now days people show up on the jobsite with 3 bags full of climbing gadgets to do the same thing, a dozen different ways but refuse to use a bigshot or like devise, why? This conversation is akin to discussing why not climb ddr on a tauntline hitch, in a weaver leather saddle wearing highliners. I take that last one back, highliners still rock.
For high shots, I use the bigshot when working. If a person is good with a throwball, medium to low shots are one or two throws, there for more efficient. If I have to throw it more than 3 times, I should have gotten the slingshot. I think low shots are kind of hard with the slingshot. But the main reason I am working on hand throwing skills is to compete. For fun.
