Hi everyone,
I've been taking lessons twice a week for the past two and half years, the caveat being that I am being taught in a language I don't fully understand so it's a lot of gestures and positioning corrections. I have made a lot of progress and about 16 months ago I moved to a Andro Treiber K and Andro Rasant Powergrip on BH and Rasanter R42 on FH. I am starting to discover that I am stronger playing close to the table (maybe it's because I am not good at far away play).
Therefore, I am wondering whether I should actually choose to downgrade my blade to something slower which will allow me to improve my technique. What are the teachers in the forum thinking? I am in Vietnam and in the few shops there are, I cannot really get any advice as it's in Vietnamese. Is it worth thinking about a blade with Hinoki? Or the oft-mentioned Nittaku Violin?
Thanks in advance!
