I started adjusting my setup with the basic double/triple twisting the loop around the transaxle, using vaseline on the axle, and experimenting with string length. All of that helped, but there was still a little lag in the response. Rubbing a small amount of pure shea butter onto the end of the string helped a bit more, and at this point I figured I just needed more practice.

Ultimately, swapping my thin bulk poly string for a slightly thicker Zipline Exec Lite (which I had previously cut too short for my 1A throws) made a world of difference. I guess getting the set up just right really is crucial for 2A.

I’m still waiting for the easy part.
