The Performance Designs packing manual describes the following to help slow down your openings if you find they\u2019re \u2018uncomfortably fast\u2019: Once you\u2019ve flaked the nose cells, leave the centre cell open and hanging in the middle, grab all the cells on one side and roll them inwards towards the centre, then do the same on the other side. If you find your openings are too slow, #PD<\/a> recommend that you leave all the flaked nose cells open and hanging neatly. (Please note this post isn\u2019t enough to replace proper training from your instructor or a suitably qualified packer!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
