Does BSL have any effect on rail control?

I was wondering whether having a shorter boot sole length has any advantage with control on rails?

I would think that having a shorter bsl allows for quicker maneuvers when adjusting/scissoring on rails.

What are your thoughts on this?

I personally used the traditional Chinese foot-binding method to drop about 4 shoe sizes and my rail game is pretty sick now.

If you cant tell the difference between one of my threads and this thread you have a pretty inferior intellect and should consider shutting the fuck up between 1200 and 1500 percent more often.

use the shortest BSL you can, just for control in general. but no, person A who fits in 310BSL and person B who fits into 300BSL... will have the same control on rails. the best fit will get you the control on rails, no matter the BSL
