Hand Positioning?
So I just recnetly started moving into doing mid-air tricks, etc... and When I do my 360s i put my hand pretty close to the inside of the bar that way
I don't over-redirect the kite into the power zone. I'm curious tho, for those tricks (like foot-outs) that need hang time do you put your hand split
over the chicken line so you can turn the kite even more slowly and keep it up at zenith longer?
I guess it depends on the kite that you fly and how fast it turns but I'm curious if anyone keeps their hand right in the middle of the bar?
Kites:PL Hornet 2.0m, 15m Synergy

a hand right next to the depower line does it for me. dont forget, you still have to redirect even if you are doing a trick.
