I'd be inclined to try more sag rather than a flatter hang, but then I don't know how you had it pitched. The "rule of thumb" (IIRC) for a fixed ridgeline is 83% of the nominal hammock length (e.g. 10 foot hammock =120 inches times 83% yields 100" ridgeline.) Other posters "tinker" with the ridgeline length in 1 inch increments to find what works best for them. You don't HAVE to have a fixed ridgeline, though I find that having one makes consistent pitching easier to achieve and less stressful!
