go for a quick tug and then stop with nth thumb when you release the string off of nth index bc you want the movement of nth thumb moving away from th to control the speed of the slack (angular velocity). if you move too much, the slack U will be too small and you won’t land it. also when you tug w nth thumb, move diagonally from the trapeze plane towards yourself or the U of string won’t open up as pretty and the string can then hit itself like you want to get it out of the way
