I have one of the new trophy line saddles been messing around with it a few days and no matter what I do I cant get rid of hip pinch. Any suggestions? It's most comfortable leaning with just the linemans belt on. Would it be a bad idea to tie in a longer bridge to the linemans loops?

I had to run my tether about chin high and push the top of the saddle under my belt line to alleviate hip pinch. Mine was more of a love handle pinch though. I had a L/XL and I am 204 lb.

Did you try pulling the saddle up over your hips? I always have the top webbing above my hips

Tried above below everything I could think of. Just ain't digging it. I'll try a mantis this spring

I wonder could it be to big of a saddle? A Lg/Xl is the size I’m looking for and I’m 250
 
You could use your linemans as a bridge, just have to stay connected when switching from linemans bridge to webbing bridge.

I had to use the shortened bridge length or the "original length" where both straps are the same length and my tether is anywhere between forehead and chin height when standing on my platform. Thats how i alleviated the hip pinch. Being a female, i was worried that my hips would kill my saddle game but i havent had much issue since figuring out those settings.

I agree with indyface thats how i work it i still get hip pinch after awhile and have to adjust how high or low my saddle is on me. Im thinking about finding a cushion belt or similar to put on underneath.
 
We are all different. Just to show you my fixed bridge is 18" and my tether is nipple high. I girth hitch both sides of my bridge so I can change the angle of the saddle on my butt. I have a size 2 Kestrel and I weigh 220 pounds.
