i just got my first 11ft hammock and it is a 11ft argon hammock from dutch, the hammocks i had before was the grand trunk skeeter beeter pro and then an ENO DN. I'm having issue with shoulder squeeze in the 11ft and i'm not sure how to resolve it. the only 2 trees in my backyard is about 17ft across and i didn't have the should squeeze with the ENO from the trees. at first i had the ENO atlas straps about 6 1/2ft high and then i lowered the straps maybe a foot and still had shoulder squeeze. i have a 110in fixed ridge line that i also got from dutch.
I change the location that the hammock attached to the atlas straps at both height settings and still had the same amount of shoulder squeeze. the only thing that took it away was not lay at such a diagonal as i was but when i did that it wasn't a flat lay. i'm 5ft tall and about 205.
Is the problem i'm having because the trees are to far apart, even though it was fine with the shorter ENO DN with a 90" ridge line?? when i set the 11ft dutch hammock up the ridgeline is tight but not over tight when i laying in it.
thanks for your help
