Binding Pin

[nwkegan]

Hello!

I've been learning via the pyramid method (1 pin, then 2 pins, then 3, and so forth), and I've come to a sticking point. You see, 3 pins is too easy, while 4 pins is too difficult. I find that I can't differentiate between the binding pin and others at that point. Any tips for trying to smooth things out? Practicing on 3 pins isn't getting me anywhere, but the same can be said about 4.

Everyone runs into this. I have a full pinned set ( a 1 pin lock, a 2 pin lock, etc up to 7, all the same lock) and everyone gets stuck at 4. It isn't just you.

There isn't a trick. The best thing you can do it to reduce pressure on the tensioner. The more pins, the smaller the potential difference between the pins. The smaller potential difference, the less tension is needed. Just keep at it, you'll get it in no time!

You can try to improve your tools or technique. Hydruh has already said how to do it tech-wise. Tool-wise you can polish you tools for better feedback.
