Does a high V join benefit kite response over a low V connection near the bar?

In my experience having flown both, I believe a low V has more direct contact with the kite and translates with more feel in the bar.

Some numbers for ya

way i interpret it is not only low v better because its closer to replicateing just a simular scenario to what the steering lines are (another reason why i like 5 line c kites all the lines are simular not running a weird obstacle course of rings and bridles)

Its got less force and tensions enacted on it by putting the lines at an angle etc etc



Soooo to original question ... i believe no it doesnt ... i kinda feel like it would be pulling it back to the split therefore less turning more being pulled back to center ....

Anyways just get a 5 liner or 6 liner problem solved

you've changed bro... best response is from a 2-line bar

bar

Im more then keen to get rid of the bar completely go back to some floating lines tethered to a backstrap via some bungies ( pretty sure we were getting the power of a 10m bow from a weird 5m semicircle of doom )

Or you know.... a series of risers

Never liked the 4 line handles for anything bigger then a rev tho
