Creative fix for sliding down tether

I played around with a buddy's JX3 hybrid and the tether that came with it had a plastic ball slide, just like what I did hear with the golf ball. I liked it a lot, work well and that's what I based my idea from. It's just another option if guys want to try it.

Looks good. Cant really tell in the pic but make sure you clean out the drill hole and the sharp edges on the entry and exit. The plastic cover on a golf ball will wear your rope down quicker. Living in MN and your going to rock a Iowa golf ball come on man. Hahahaha.

I sanded down those edges after the pic, just wanted to see if it would work, thanks for the suggestion though! And yes I am an Iowa fan. Just moved to MN 3 years ago so I rock the Hawkeye any chance I get up here...GO HAWKS!
 
Girth hitch as shown. 100pct effective..

Run tag end thru loop but leave some room.
Run tag end around tree and thru the loop.
Pull tight.

Are you guys really having issues with the tether sliding? I can’t ever remember having an issue even on slick bark trees just hooking it up like normal. Is it a certain tree or rope type? I’m using a tether made of Predator with a spliced loop and it’s never moved a bit for me.

I cant speak for others but it's not an issue once it's under load..it never slips then. It's when you've unweighted it that sometimes it will slip.
