When you play guitar and strum, you're using biceps and triceps to move up and down. I realized you could just turn your wrist, your forearm, using smaller muscles in your arm that are much more efficient and much quicker.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I started doing up-and-down strumming, basically to keep time and to play fast. As time went on, I started realizing other guitar players couldn't do it. I always went against the grain.
I am an arm hitter. When you snap the bat with your wrists just as you meet the ball, you give the bat tremendous speed for a few inches of its course. The speed with which the bat meets the ball is the thing that counts.
In badminton, they use a lot from the wrist. But I use a lot from the shoulder.
I don't need to practice my swing. I grew up with a bat in my hands.
I grip very close to the butt of the racket. This allows me to get a lot of wrist action to create more spin and whip.
I hit the ball early and move my wrist a lot, so I get bigger angles.
Biceps for show, triceps for go.
Guitar is just something I can do. So much of it now is muscle memory, just instinct.
I don't have a very disciplined approach to practicing or anything, but I do tend to have a guitar around most of the time, which I strum on most of the day.
But that guitar is the perfect companion to the human voice. You rest it against your gut, against your heart, and when you strum it the vibrations go outwards for all to hear, but the vibration also hits you on your body.
