Slingshot review

Apart from one less person needed what are the advantages to using a sling shot instead of board presses for lockout work? Just curious what people think. I have noticed it seems to help lifters who dont tuck enough or flare too early behave themselves.
 
Try grabbing the bar with one hand, then sorta rolling to the other side of the bench to get your other hand on the bar.
Setting up from behind the bench (like Tara does) is another way of getting around this
 
I like the sling shot, only use it as an accessory though as I dont do full benching. I use a close grip and mostly asfter over head press. Also takes alot of pressure off the shoulders.
