I prefer arrow guidance and once you are past the steel insert,the arrow is on it's own with no support,while it is still attached to the string.No thanks.

No difference between that and a drop away.....once a drop away"drops away" it's only attached to the string.....with no support....

That's why I like the Limb Driver it supports the arrow even longer than most dropaways. The Air Rest would give the least support.

Sorry but there is a huge difference,you only get about 1" of support with this rest,with a drop away,you get much more than that.Most you can adjust the chord length so the rest stays up longer and longer is better.BUT,most fallaways do drop too early for me,that is why I use a Spot Hogg whammy.It is up untill the absolute last second and then is pulled out of the way.
The Limb Driver also work very much like the Whammy and stays up much longer than regular downchord fallaways and neither the LD or Whammy put undue stress on the cables so IMO,both are a better choice.But the LD does not have quite as much support as the whammy but it is close.
There are many fallaways I would put on my bow before this rest.Trophy Taker,QAD HD,Limb Driver,Whammy,hell,I would shoot a WB before this rest and I HATE them.

Other than assuming, how do you specifically know which one stays up longer between the LD and whammy?
I think you make a big deal about nothing here. From the time you release to the time your bow reaches brace and the arrow leaves the string is such atiny fraction of a second that I believe the difference is meaningless.

I have seen slow motion video.The difference between the LD and Whammy is meaningless,but not between them and some other rest that drop extremely early,or this rest in question.
On the Spot Hogg site,they actually count the frames and the whammy is up longer than any other fallaway.BUT,they are very close.There video is not working right now though.
I do prefer the way the Whammy works over the LD but if for some reason I couldn't get the Whammy to work on one of my bows,the LD would be my next choice.
