Ok, first off Ill mention that i have not been doing flourishing very long, not more than 2 weeks, and that taken into account, I know that i should not expect to have smooth/controlled flourishes and technique.
However, i have been progressing pretty well and just got my first deck of Bicycle standards today, as i had been practicing with a crappy old deck i had from years ago.
That also taken into account, i know that there is a size difference and i need to get accustomed to the Bicycles, as well as the better quality they provide.
Both of the aforementioned factors obviously hinder my progress in the short term as the adjustment is quite drastic (although for the better and essential), and are most likely the main cause of my following question, but here goes anyway.
I have been watching a tonne of tutorials and have purchased quite a few 1on1's off this site, Ive been learning the real basics, triple cuts with twists and turns etc and charliers etc. I have ventured into attempting several more compliated cuts such as the 5 faces of Sybil.
This is where my problem has come in, even before i got my new deck i was finding it hard to keep a hold of the cards when in complicated finger positions, and although i have quite large hands, especially on the Sybil cut i have been dropping some of the packs a lot and getting really frustrated when cards drop out individually or i get tangled up.
So, I was really hoping some of you guys could just give me some general card control and grip tips that will help me to dominate my card manouvers in a better fashion. I am aware that practice makes perfect and i have put a lot in so far, I am also aware that there may not be any specific tips you can give, but any advice is welcome.
Cheers guys,
Steve
