Hey Caleb, I just discovered your channel with this video. I'm finding it really useful. About the drags, that exercise exposes one weakness of my hand technique. When it comes to fast and soft doubles, what's the approach to follow regarding technique? Should I try to muscle it out? Control with my fingers? Go for open/close or moeller? Still struggling to find out how you, the professionals, do it. Thank you so much for this video. Really enjoyed it!
@editbyStar I think of *specifically* soft and fast doubles as one gesture + a little fulcrum pressure. Initiate with a very tiny arm motion, and apply just a bit of fulcrum pressure to create the double. Arm propels, fulcrum/fingers execute. Looser for more open, tighter for more closed. Hope that helps! :)
@@CalebPickering It does help to not try to develop strage techniques when pushing to uptempos. In fact, that's what my right hand tends to do. I've found that one thing that limits my left-handed doubles is trying to produce both strokes with different movements (open/close, down/up...). Instead, a mix of fingers, wrist and arms along with a controlled bounce is more natural, but it takes time to get the weak hand to develop that “touch” and control over the bounce. Thank you so much, really kind of you :)
