Tips/Techniques on non-vibro jacks?!

[FirstMaple8]

you read the title, gimme some tips!

[komochii]

- use your wrist instead of moving your fingers

- always remember it aint vibro until like 250bpm+

- less moving wrist + pressing key for less time = faster

- for max speed use finger movement and wrist movement

I suggest keeping your wrist super light and relaxed and not tensed.. try to shake your hand up and down with a tense wrist vs with a relaxed one and youll see what i mean

also play files that have really short jacks at super high bpm, senkou frustration in dump parade is my favorite

one of the most eye opening things that took me forever to figure out over years of assuming how people "wrist jacked" was that you actually have to "lift" you're hands as much as you press them down, aka alternate two muscle sets in both arms.

integrating other motions like you're fingers arms/shoulders can be helpful too but the more complex you're tech is the greater the focus and control you need will be O:

Play jumpjacks/jumpgluts! those increase your jack skill either short or long ones, I used to play Mizuki, moromi, golgo13 packs

If you put your thumb on your index finger and curl your fingers, the added support of your thumb may help increase consistency and stamina and maybe speed especially on long jacks

release organ grinder in icy x2 thats a great jack file for practicing these sorts of jacks :[

edit: i used to have a live recording with handcam of me playing organ grinder 1.1 i think cause a friend asked me how i wrist jack once (no homo) but i think i deleted it D:

another thing i wanted to comment that i noticed i do... this is more for mini jacks, i realized if its like, 350 bpm+ minijacks or so I just naturally do one wrist motion to jack and then tap the 2nd note with my finger
