Best way to get speed

Ive been shooting bbs almost exclusively. Im working on getting comfortable at 15M My band question is. Ok I know I dont want to overpower and get slap,,, but has anybody ever worked out whether a thin ,say .40 say 3/4 x1/2 is faster ,,, or if a .60 5/16 x 1/4 is . I want to try to find a formula for maximum speed at my short draw. I know short draw is not going to be as fast as a longer one, but it honestly is the only way I enjoy shooting. I guess Im asking is wide and thin, or narrow and thick faster .

I made a super light pouch last night , out of a one layer of a magnetic bb band , and cut shorter. I would guess this gives more fps owing to the lightness. Ive just been using the cheapo 45x12 pouches. just musing, to me its fun to try to figure this out.

I cut some shiper .60 5/16x 1/4 w 6" active, seems to shoot hard , but I have no chrony, so will give it the can paper penetration test tonight. I have long arms , so even my short draw isnt tiny ,. any ideas ,are quite welcome thanks

Wide and thin would be the better option in my opinion since thin bans retract faster then thick once and could be easier too pull as well
