a bird in the hand (and in the loft)

What do most of your good spinners look like bodywise. I know
Mr. Pensom talked about an apple body and by that I assume there
was a little rise in the back above the wings. What's do most
of your good spinners show body wise- long keels, wing length,
tail bend, etc, etc, etc. Thanks all, Paul Conway.

PAUL, ROBERT MILLER DESCRIBES WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A ROLLER BODY
IN A FEW SHORT VIDEOS.
GO TO THE NBRC WEBSITE, THEM CLICK ON MEMBERSHIP, THEN CLICK ON
MEMBERS WEBSITES. THERE WILL BE A LIST OF WEBSITES ON THERE GO
TO ROBERT MILLERS SITE HE HAS SO INFO. THAT MAY BE HELPFULL.
REMEMBER THAT WHAT HE SAYS ON THE VIDEOS, WHAT HE DESCRIBES
RELATES TO HIS BIRDS AND HIS FAMILY AND IT MAY NOT BE THE SAME
AS WHAT IS FOUND IN ANOTHER LOFT.
TONY I AM NOT TRYING TO STEER ANYONE AWAY FROM HERE OR THIS
WEBSITE. I JUST THOUGHT IT MAY HELP PAUL WITH A QUESTION HE HAD.
IF NEEDED TONY GO AHEAD AND REMOVE THIS POST IF NEED BE.

Thanks Polarbear. I got through one video this morning.
Interesting and informative.
Windjammer, I'm in Pennsylvania, Polarbear just wanted to be
sure I could here him as he was typing from a distance. ;)
I am open to listening/reading what anyone else wants to add as
to what seems to be good body charecteristics in thier good
rollers
Thank you, Paul Conway

If your showing your rollers, then body type might be important.
In my opinion, if a bird rolls fast and of good quality I don't
care about body type.

Hello Paul, here is a point that I think most will agree with:
* All body types are capable of rolling properly
(...inconceivable rapidity through a considerable distance...)
However, I am of the view, that while I agree with the above
point, a birds aerodynamics will generally influence the roll
for good or bad. As such, I tend to prefer birds that show a
better center of gravity (more cobby: medium to smallish birds
that are not too long cast).
My thinking on this is that a bird that is not fighting his off
balance body or a wide rolling footprint (long cast bird) while
rolling is better built to roll faster, tighter and smoother.
The reason is that it is not fighting against avoidable
centrifugal forces being created by being physically unbalanced
or too long.
So a roller with a lot of "heart" will roll hard, and the better
balanced it is, the better the quality of the roll will tend to
be. Other factors can and will influence the final result.
Here are some Blue Series Ruby Rollers with a balanced body
style that I like:
