I have a question for you lot. I was told that I tie my string loop wrong (pic.B). Like too much at the base of my finger and I should move it “higher” (pic.A). I am trying this “proper” technique for a week now and I can’t see no advantages in it?
I have a feeling that the string will slip from my finger anytime and also the noose is looping around my finger a lot. I tried playing with the different knot positions, left, right, but nothing serms to work.
There’s not really a wrong or right here. You can do whatever is most comfortable for you and that is fine. Closer to the tip of the finger like in A feels more powerful to me and is what I do, but the main difference I see is with TH chopsticks. If I do B, I have to wrap the string around to help w the chopsticks spacing.
Some of the best players in the world use position B.
As far as the loop slipping, that will go away on it’s own as you build up calluses in that new spot.
Here’s some pics to show the finger wrap w position B for chopsticks.
