Until someone redesigns the shape of the crook and RH main action and lower joint layout on cors, then people are still going to have trouble with their right arms due to the stretch.

I agree slings/neck straps are pretty useless on straight bodied instruments such as cors, oboes, soprano saxes and clarinets (they work best on alto saxes and lower and bassoons due to the angle of the crook/reed/mouthpiece), but the best kind of support was the Quodlibet Fhred which is no longer in production, but recently RDG has started making the Bhob which is the same thing which is a telescopic support that clips onto the thumbrest ring and rests against the chair seat or on a block that fits onto a belt to allow you to play standing but still having it take the weight off the right arm.
