^ Thanks for the tips man, everything you wrote makes a lot of sense to me. I feel I have them pretty solid slow and have been working my way up like you suggested but once I hit that 120 bpm mark I can't hang with the beat and tighten up. Time to flip some different stab patterns and focus on relaxing ( although not quite sure how to do this, that's part of the journey I guess ).
Forwards ... those are still annoyingly hard

Freestyle and juggle a lot more than practice specific patterns. Feel like my muscle memory has taken over though so I am taking a week or so off just to get back in the groove of things before I start back on the more academic side of things like notation and speed variation.
Any tips on overcoming that pesky muscle memory?
Prizms. Also, this guy's got some sick videos.

Working on transforms, flare and double timed chirps. Those give me the most trouble it seems when double timing chirps they begin to turn into flares. So I have to practice more individually on them speratly and get em down.
Prizms are tough... not so much tough to get down, but tough to work them in naturally once you've figured them out. I practiced them for a long time but never got them sounding clean in routines, now they sound sloppy because I never practice them anymore.Originally Posted by DJ CirKutCision

Tears and dicing right now, its really really frustrating since you have to train your knuckles to snap to a certain extent to get the real good, sharp sounds. its worth the labor cuz they sound awesome and it adds style to your record hand movements and i think thats almost as important as the quality of your cuts
