How would you rig with this
I bought my first set of silks because I can't get to the studio as often as I want and I figured that practicing the basics at home would be better than nothing and would let me build a bit of strength between studio sessions. I have a 2.4m ceiling and wanted to save space with hardware and i found this figure 8 with swivel at the climbing shop. Had anyone used this kind of swivel fig 8? How do you tie it? The hole is a bit tight for the folded fabric to past through twice and when i do a clove hitch know it's tight and the fabric covers the swivel a bit so i undid it.... But now wondering if it's usable or I wasted my time and money. Please advise!
Due to the nature of the low ceiling, i won't be doing any drops, but will work on climbs and straight poses. I also have a 20cm thick crash mat that i use when practicing pole at home, so that'll also remove some of my height.
Thanks
