Agreed. Sorry. Guess I switched back to thinking about what happens if and
when the "full size" 1.5m class goes predominantly to tip launch - and at
what point it makes javelin launch go "out of style".

That's an interesting observation.
Would you suspect that the launch differential between a more athletic and
less athletic person would be any different with the 1.5m class, or would TL
perhaps even things out a bit even there? It seems that very different
muscle groups are involved, and having lots of running speed/strength would
make very little difference for TL - so maybe having a less athletic person
with TL vs a highly athletic person with their choice of launch might be a
closer match?
Just curious,
