Topic: What type of thumb guard is he using?

I can't tell for sure if a regular horn thumb ring is in use here or if he is using something else:

I have to say, I like how clean his release is plus the stability of his form.  He is rock steady.

He's using a sugakji with a leather guard.

This is an interesting sugaki:

Is a little more tapered and streamlined than the one I got from Freddie Archery years ago.

Same archer from OP but in a more recent video:

Still like to watch his technique even if it may seem a bit aggressive.
