Was looking at getting an H-Bar for my Hobie Outback to aid in punching mats. Pitching is too weird sitting down. Has anybody tried it on an outback? How stable is it?

I have and it's really stable.  If I was standing on an Outback playing tug-o-war with mats, I would.  But I'd rather sit down...

I feel it's a little easier to pitch standing up because of the pendulum fall

What am I missing here? If you're pinching through a mat, your lure is just going to drop straight down through the hole whether you're sitting or standing?

It's when you set the hook and start playing tug-o-war with weed mat when you'll need the extra stability.

I think pitching is pretty hard to do while sitting down.
I'm thinking about getting H-bars too.
