Roping is all about angles. Level swing and level delivery makes the catch simple and accurate.
The delivery is a reflection of your swing. The loop stays level as it approaches the horns and the hand has not started rotating over to grab my slack until the loop has left my hand.
Once we have created the proper angle with your rope and your tip is aimed in the right direction the next step in your swing is for your hand to travel far enough right behind your ear or level with your ear and this will allow your elbow correctly to lead the throw. The elbow is what creates effortless power.
The side view shows the aiming point which is wherever my tip is aimed at as it breaks at the target. There is a small window where the tip should be aimed between the top of the horns to 6 inches above the horns.
My rope of choice is any Classic rope in an extra soft.
