Finger pitches and axis tilt
« on: October 30, 2007, 08:36:56 AM »
from the BR-FAQ

 
quote:

 Finger Pitches:
+ Reverse = Less lift, earlier finger exit, reduces rotation, possible soreness to the pad side.

+ Forward = More lift, later finger exit, increased rotation, possible soreness to nail side, or broken blood vessels under the nail.

+ Left = Axis tilt enhancer if all pitches are biased left from your normal pitches, possible soreness to right side of finger tip.

+ Right = Possible soreness to left side of finger tip.



Anyone have any knowledge about manipulating axis tilt through finger and or thumb pitches?  

Specifically I'm trying to lower mine.

to increase axis tilt I believe Mo Pinel adds forward to the middle finger and reverse to a ring.

Hmmmmm....
