Fingernails

**foilman8805** · 09-25-2008, 01:23 AM

That **** happens to me quite a bit too, and I'll get frustrated and angry and blame it on FFR before I even think that the issue could be my fingernails.

PICTURE DEFINITELY NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BEING RELATED BUT I'M STILL REALLY CURIOUS

I really hate when they get just long enough for me to feel them when I hit the keys, it kind of hurts. That's when I know to trim them.

i've noticed that if my fingernails are too long, i don't play as well. but if i cut then REALLY short, i don't play as well either... plus it hurts my fingers.

the annoying thing of it is that my left middle finger is also one of my bowling fingers, and i have to make sure the nail is trimmed really thin for bowling, or it'll screw up my release. so that in turn messes up my FFR for a day or two. it's a lose-lose situation.

I cut my nails like every week, you people are lazy

**Patashu** · 09-25-2008, 02:41 AM

I'm not sure how much my fingernails effect me; if they're long I seem to hit jacks with them though, unless my memory is faulty. It's something I ought to pay conscious attention to, because I would like to know whether I should have them long or short or what.

I always feel like I can press the keys faster with more precision when my fingernails are trimmed. The weight distribution within my fingers seem to be imbalanced if my nails are too long causing me to hit keys slower, and they just get in the way.

Keeping my nails short helps me play better.

I start hitting early goods when I have long nails but I usually cut them too short so then my fingers start bleeding or hurting each time I tap a key.

There's been several times where I'd be playing a song and by the time I'd finish the song, there'd be blood or something on my fingers and keyboard.

FFR is serious business.

**bender5** · 09-25-2008, 07:47 PM

I bite my nails, so sometimes I bite em too short and i notice that if it hurts I can't play, otherwise I have no problems at all

**Kotarouchan** · 09-25-2008, 07:58 PM

Unlike Tass, I don't have to deal with the left middle finger for bowling because of index. I prefer long nails though because it's less surface area for me so I can slide to other arrows because of less friction force dealt. (Yes, I prefer a certain length, because then they start to break, and that's not fun)

Score-Board · 09-25-2008, 07:58 PM

I agree with the nails thing, but my nails are longer than some of the girls fingernails now and I'm only having a problem with finger tripping (because of my nails).

Oh, and I haven't cut my nails in 1 1/2 months (just to see how it's like)

EDIT: oh, the length of my nails right now aren't that bad and they are relatively clean in comparison to other people who have nails as long as mine.

I always thought of making this thread, but thought it would be weird. XD

But ya, i agree Tass. If I have mine too long, my nails slip on the keys and i mess up, but if they are too short, then the newly cut edges dig into the corners of my fingers and it is painful to play.

I bite my nails also, so if they're too long, I just bite them off. Plus I hate the way my nails feel then they hit the keys, that's really annoying.
