It's not for carrying the weight of the instrument after all ,but this should offer a more effective ange of the stap to the instrument to counter the forces involved.

This is exactly why I like the instruments which provide two hook rings and the neck straps which use two hooks. The "three point hitch" provides stability – enough to use it standing without a floor peg without pivoting on a single ring placed in the middle of the instrument. And even enough to play it sitting without a floor peg (on low Eb models) if you had to.

Of course, if the neck angle eliminates the need for a strap at all, so much the better, but I really have no issues with the two-hook configuration. It's effective and I assume it was done for a reason.
