OTT stands for "Over The Top". TTF stands for "Through The Forks".
An OTT (Over The Top) slingshot has bands that attach on the top of the fork and are pulled back over it. A TTF (Through The Fork) slingshot has bands that attach to the sides of the fork and are pulled back around it.
Which is better? Neither—it's really all about personal preference.
A few things to keep in mind: When shooting TTF, the projectile travels between the forks, so a clean release is key to avoid fork hits. If you shoot with a ‘flip’ style, it’s usually better to stick with OTT.
Here’s a video about the two styles:
The Ocularis™ Banding System is the only system available today that allows for fast switching from OTT to TTF. Literally five seconds is all it takes to convert. Just turn the plug and dial in your shooting style!
