Thumbs Over Method
on: June 17, 2004, 06:03:31 AM
Hi, can anyone explain to me how to execute the correct thumbs over method? Does it actually means having a very short skip when passing the thumb over, with the hands moving in that direction to accomodate the thumb coming down?
Also, is it "literally" not actually passing the thumb over the 3rd or 4th finger?

yep it's keeping your thumb outside of your 2nd finger and moving your whole hand. it felt awkward and slow for me at first but the pause is almost unnoticeable for me now. someone should do a short video of the movement cause this gets asked so much :0
