The most learned author Byron Short published an excellent article in
North American Pylon about this very subject recently. He goes further
than most by backing it up with real Geez data. Conclusions:
1) Constant speed is best. Think of a sine wave. What appears to be
accel/decel during the slalom is mostly slight compensation for speed
that is scrubbed of. Rythem is the key.
2) Subscribe to N.A.P.
3) Buy Geez software and cube.
Got anything else I can push?
