Baiting up this way is individual like golf clubs, a 6ft pole on a 6ft 3 bloke doesn't get the same result from a bloke who's 5ft 10, nothing new, loads of bad anglers who can't think outside the box.
Seen loads of anglers with gear they can't control but bought because the mags said they should.

Of course that's true, however if you've no experience of using any tool you cant judge what it's capable of in your hands.
Like you say we are all built differently, and are of varying degrees of fitness. Shouldn't stop people from trying new ideas though.

Thanks for all the thoughts all.
My intensions were something like a large pole like the Gardner, Nash or fox, possibly with a bit of compression in it so it can whip a spoon around overhead cast wise and then match with a suitable scoop end - the Nash deliverance ones look alright.
If I can get 20-30 baits out up to 60 yds/15 wraps per sling and the birds only snag 1 or 2 then that would be great.... get in a rhythm and thats easy 100 baits in a minute.
I was wondering how much of a knack and how consistent it might be from peoples' experiences - it sounds like its one where you just have to try!
The Dot spods - yes, I heard they were a bit inconsistent - great idea but maybe the execution makes it more frustrating that the problem it solves.

If you want speed, keep your baits in a bag on the ground and just turn, dig out a scoop and let fly.

another little tip is that i find the baits go further with an underfilled spoon. only fill it half way seems to be the best of both worlds.
a bit like using a pouch catapult - less is more when it comes to getting accuracy & distance.

Watch Jim Lightfoot's YouTube channel, he has some good tips on using a baiting scoop.
