Member 4923, 1795 posts | Is the Hall/Thor stones result mostly due to tacky? Would it make that much of a difference? | ||

Would it make that much of a difference? Apparently Shaw and Hall had special tacky made by Dave Ostlund, the right tacky can make a huge difference. Try doing stones without tacky first and then with its a lot easier. | ||

They didn't show enough of Felix, Burke etc. You can say that again. It was just the same four guys competing, with a bulldog getting to lift a log for a few seconds! I suppose they only have an hour though, they should really stretch it out over 1.5 hours imo. Loving Eddie Hall, really hope he can win it at some point! | ||

 Member 5205, 118 posts SQ 130, BP 115, DL 200445.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq | Hope Eddie can win wsm over the next 2years. Think he'll need to be on top form and get a slice of luck to top shaw, thor though. Fingers crossed | ||

 Trump will get another four years Member 126, 16707 posts SQ 160, BP 110, DL 225495.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq | shortandmighty said: Apparently Shaw and Hall had special tacky made by Dave Ostlund, the right tacky can make a huge difference. Try doing stones without tacky first and then with its a lot easier. so did ed have the tacky to start with, or did shaw give it to ed in the hope that he might separate z and thor from him in the points? some machiavellian tactics if the latter. it would be a shame if the title was decided by equipment rather than strength. I thought it was an enjoyable final. some good event choices and the return of power stairs was a good shout. my only gripe was the max log in the middle of a super heavy comp, in tough conditions. z's comeback was epic despite not quite finishing it off. his powerstairs run was crazy quick. as good as brian was I cant help but think what wouldve happened if they were using the same tacky in that final stone run. ed did great. beating thor on the truck pull, making z look pedestrian on the deadlift and his stone run all stand out moments. I agree about the length of the show. surely its time to produce a a longer show to start with or maybe a longer 'editors cut' version with extra footage included. | ||

He was also suffering with a back injury which is why his deadlift was so slow. Eddie Hall is definitely well on the way to a podium and I think this year will a good fight between the top 4. | ||
