Lots of Great Discussion!
.
And, important principle, that is seen across all disciplines,
Paradigm Shift: When really the only way to go forward in understanding is to shift whole model, do the exact opposite!
kinda the yin/yang pendulum swinging to the equal/opposite extreme i think.

i guess too much of anything can be bad; especially in bad wood
But in general would expect compression to:
A> give firming effect?
B> be inconsequential to the downward weight of the whole tree?
.
i like over the top, down the back as more of a cradling of the whole spar than all force at 1...
Sir, 60' throw of a $25 throw bag setup is seriously doable and serious trick for tool kit.
Can even approximate with a mechanix rag full of dirt on small usually yellow 'pee line' to then draw up real line.
Don't want anything in bag that would bounce form target , but rather deform/smoosh...
Nice point to sift out and bring forward, Pete:
(edit i get the prev. too slow deal as consideration but in general ..)
.
i'd add..
Pull at or above Center of Gravity(CoG) ;
to rotate CoG on hinge pivot.
Whole deal is to command CoG forcePoint, not let it win.
Tree is just a shape and access to...
Especially kinda wonder on head lean vs. spar lean on this; and then where that puts balance of pulls to hinge.
.
Maintaining far part in hinge for anti-spin always good, to not shorten hinge across face because of this leverage, even if center punch.
.
On any truck etc. pulls,
i look for good...
i can make sense out of the reverse pro-cedure for reverse lean;
but i too think in terms of high leverage rope pull and wedges more for safety backstop/some lift.
.
i was thinking the pivot of hinge would come farther under the trees's center of gravity, to effectively reduce backlean numbers...
