Regularly Focus on Basics and Fundamentals

Making Benny Greb's words my own, it’s never a step backward in your progress to regularly focus on the basics and fundamentals. That’s where real growth happens.

The smallest adjustments can make the biggest difference. Something as simple as shifting the contact point on the stick by just 1 or 2 millimeters can completely change the feel and result.

Details matter. The whole system is so sensitive, and that’s part of what makes it so endlessly intriguing.

It’s a constant cycle: exploring advanced concepts, pushing boundaries, and then returning to the absolute fundamentals. There’s a meditative beauty in that process.
