Re: Wrists raised or planted

My arms are both rested on the desk, since my desk is like a little corner and it makes a 90 degree turn. I also rest my wrists.

I can't jack for shit.

Re: Wrists raised or planted

my jacking consistency is pretty good i think so. i can MA jacks up to 170 and combo upt to 15 note jacks at 180 bpm. the only thing is i cant vibrate

I would think that your style almost makes it easier to vibrate by just tensing your forearm.

if you play the way i play you'll notice your stamina shoot through the roof and you'll maintain the speed that you have now

I tried this way and i could feel the burn haha.. and the wrist hurting is something I am trying to prevent.

Re: Wrists raised or planted

@ sticklydude; I'm playing exactly your way with a L shaped table.

I swap between planted and raised all the time depending on what pattern I'm dealing with.

If I play AIM Anthem, I'll start planted with the jumpjacks and switch raised with the tricky jack part.
If I play Coat Czech/Silence, I'll play planted all the way because it's giving me better accuracy on unfriendly patterns (weird bursts/anything with a lot of [2][1] or [3][4] in it)
If I play Purple, I'll play planted the beginning and swap raised for the end because it's short enough to keep up with and I'd rather have speed comfort and deal with the accuracy than being accurate but too slow to keep up.
If I play Grist, I'll start raised for the jacks and switch planted for the 32nd stuff until the end.

I think planted is better overall, I just have no clue how people hit semi-fast/fast jacks that way.

I can't have my arms vertical. They have to come diagonally or else I can't play.

Re: Wrists raised or planted

Pretty much with Haku. It depends on the pattern. If it's really dense and jumpy my wrists are raised, if it's streamy, they're planted. I'll even have times when one wrist is raised and the other is planted like in AIM Anthem.

Re: Wrists raised or planted

That is how I play.

Re: Wrists raised or planted

My right arm is weaker when playing so my left so my right is planted all the way up to my elbow. I angle my keyboard in such a way for this to happen. Left hand is raised, right hand is planted. I'm decent with jacks and anchors, but suck with jumpstream, only because it's hard for me to read.

Re: Wrists raised or planted

Re: Wrists raised or planted

I'll see if I can take a picture of how I play when I get home. I haven't seen anyone who plays like me yet lol.

Re: Wrists raised or planted

My thumb joint sits on the edge of the keyboard, and my fingers make a C shape on the keyboard. I find this way I can jack faster in short notice.
