ZigZag all the way dude :001_smile: if your using it with the ART rope guide it will be great. The less friction with the ZZ the better and as edwood says self tending is great, I use a samson velocity 11mm and I barely have to tend the rope once I set off :thumbup: which rope are you on at the minute?

The spiderjack is also good on a pulley for accent however when it comes time to rappel and do your thing swinging about it can be very jumpy and the clutch can burn out with all the friction being on that. The SJ takes more practice than the ZZ to get used to also. If your used to a traditional prussic have you considered a hitch climber or anything?

Hope this helps a bit dude :thumbup:

 

 

Valocity is to thin for the zz, minimum you should put through it is 11. 5

Just had a look at its specs and your right. Shame as it feeds through like a dream and always catches as normal when you sit into it, I know a few others who use the zz and velocity too. Got me thinking now, cheers for the heads up :001_smile:
