Super‑Fast Boards: Keep Control Without Changing Your Whole Throw

Summary: When boards get quick, shrink the energy and move your landing zone up the board. Gear helps, but mechanics come first.
Control the energy, not the aim
- Lower trajectory and land earlier—bags need less runway to get home.
- Shorten your backswing; pace beats power on slick finishes.
- Call your slow side more often to block and stop the bleeding.
Shot selection that travels
- If you’re missing long twice in a row, call the push next. Don’t “hope” a third slide settles.
- Airmail sooner when piles build up—don’t feed a runaway slick lane.
- Stack small, intentional blocks instead of one mega‑block.

Gear tweaks (after mechanics)
- Wipe boards and bags; dust adds speed. Check pitch and distance.
- If you switch bags, stay in the same family and feel. Avoid complete overhauls mid‑night.
