Thumb ring versus shooting tab or glove (Mediterranean)

<< < (3/3)

loon:
Cool. thanks

That was the kind of ring that Gao Ying described, yet he advocated supporting the thumb with two fingers for more strength. Strange. Guess I'll find out soon enough.

I thought this was the type of ring necessary for that technique. It looks like it takes the force more normal/perpendicular to the oval hole of the ring. so taking out the ring rather than rotating

Urufu_Shinjiro:
They're both very similar in use, the first one does place the string further away from the oval and this one has the string closer to the oval there's not much real world difference, when you pull you will feel where the balance is, grip too open and the string will slide off an release, grip too closed and the string/ring dig into your thumb and hurt and you'll likely release, lol. Either type ring when you have the string pulled and the grip is balanced the forces are the same.
