#1 Post by roger de dodger »

due to a car and my body having a suprise meeting some years ago and my left arm being part stainless steel i cant seem to use a multi down the butt my left wrist has very limited rotation and i find it impossible, can the pendulum be done with good effect with the rod up the butt or am i wasting my time asking someone to teach me?i can go a decent distance off the ground but this isnt much use when you are using clipped down rigs and grippers :roll:
