Hand Launch is the best.........for some, the only way they can get it up is with a zip start.
I ran a MOM mini hi start hl contest series for three years in Michigan, almost every Saturday morning during the summer months. This is different than a zip start option in a HL contest. This was four to five mini hi starts with Man on Man launching, just like our event we have done in all three of the Wood Crafters events. The guys love it. Wanna start a MOM hi start HL circuit next summer, DARTS, LOFT, Columbus, ?????? Count me in.......

We tried flying handlaunch this last week at the DARTS monthly contest, discus and zip start for the javelin guys. We have some kinks to work out, but for an experiment it worked pretty well. Shagging a zip start in a ten minute window was tough, and I'm definitely feeling it today.. It's been 2 years since I've flown any HLG, and I found I missed it. If I thought I could go out and do this every couple club contests, I would do it - any of you? Also, has anyone else tried this as a club event, do any of you non-discus fliers see this as some times substitute? Compared to not flying HLG even? I don't see this as a replacement for DLG any more than Nostalgia would overtake F3J. I know this is almost a troll thread, but we've had some positive responses, and I'm just wondering if the time is right for some kind of old timer HLG events.
