carter vs truball rotating head
 
carter vs truball rotating heads
HI there everyone.
this is my first time posting , however I come to view very often.

What are some of your opinions on truball's rotating heads on the release aids that are supposed to eliminate torque on the bowstring? This seems like a very good idea, but if it is as good as it sounds why is it that companies like carter are not using it for example?

I am really interested in the carter insatiable 2, however, truballs extreme hand held target release sems to make more sense due to the different heads available as well as the no torque string connection. I am thinking that the truball may be more forgiving overall for me to shoot if I happen not to be in the exact same position on every shot. What do you guys think? does this rotating head have real merit to it?

I do like the fact that the insatiable seems to have a shorter hook to handle length so it wont affect my draw length adjustment on the bow as much. In carters defense though, shooters like dave cousins seem to make it work???

THis is confusing
thanks for your help guys

I don't like those free-floating heads. They're usually longer, which robs you of power stroke. And the last thing I need when getting ready to draw on a big game animal is to waste time piddling around with hooking on to the string.

I had one of those releases once; the first thing I did was wrap some duct tape around the head so it DIDN'T rotate.

Never trust a bow under 40 (inches).

I prefer the tru-ball release it has worked for me a long time and eliminates string twist and torque. I have also never had a miss fire or a break in the wrist strap. The stinger is what i use, i use it because it is easy to adjust to fit anyones hand.

I own a tru ball stinger release. I like b-rice feels it eliminates torque and twist on the string. I've tried others but have found none any better to my liking even as compared to the more expensive models and brands. I shoot a Mathews Q2 with a loop and the easy action makes it seem almost effortless to load my loop into the release. Personally the last thing I want to think about is fumbling aroung with the trigger to get my loop into the release. At $30 it is hard to beat in my book.
