The "Smitty Ghost", on the right, is a newer design I came up with to turn the wrist and forearm just a few degrees to allow freedom of joint movement for very straight flipping. For best flipping using the "gangsta" style, the pinky should be higher than the index finger so that the movement is in a straight line with the direction of the flip. The "Ghost" provides this few degrees of turning the wrist and forearm to make flipping much easier and natural feeling. The size of the "Ghost" is very close to that of the "Tournament" and also is designed to fill the hand for long term shooting sessions, but the inside fork dimension is reduced to two and a quarter inches.
I think both are turning out to be great slingshots. Sure would be nice to see them in a triple thick hardwood laminate one of these days. I just need to take a trip into the city to get some new wood.https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3750906303224575857-5099635419213548563?l=smittyslingshots.blogspot.com

I like the Smitty Tournament slingshot, it has a very comfortable shape..
I think with some black therabands triple layered the Smitty Tournament could easily be the Smitty Hunter..
