Alright lads and lasses, I'm after some advice as to which is the best high performance slingshot to buy for me.
I am an experienced equipped lifter, 118kg bwt with a 240 equipped and 180 raw high arched bench and I'm trying to re-habilitate and protect an injured shoulder.
Which would suit best, mad dog slingshot, Titan super ram or Thor ballista?
Cheers.

The normal slingshot is good for rep work.

I have the black one but i use it for doubles and triples over my max. For rehab i'd suggest the red one.

Are there any other uses to a slingshot?

A friend of mine uses it to cover his drains to stop large objects flowing into and blocking his pipes

Closer grip, elbows tucked. Maybe 2 board.

Cheers fellas, so far the slingshot has it.
Shane you make a good point, it's hard to fight the urge to push for more and I really must put the rehab at the front of my mind, so go for the original. If all goes well I can always get the maddog.

If going for a single ply one I like the wild boar (yellow one) slightly better that the original. It has tapered arms and is slightly more springy. Not too much in it though and both are good.

Tapered arms, I guess that helps stop the arms from slipping down is that right?
I've seen this happen with the ram and thought that would make it less effective, is this a problem?
