Ryan 502 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 90% of my DU bends are off center. Is this a flaw in technique? I've experimented with different hand positioning and marked the middle of the nail...stilll off center. A bend is a bend is a bend but I can't figure out why this happens. Maybe favoring one hand during the kink? Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalachiMcMullen Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 What usually happens with people is that one hand "posts" or locks and the other hand torques. So yes, one hand is being favored in a way. Try moving the wraps further up on the bar or simply working on your kink with easier stock and adjusting accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKtheGreek Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 heres a tip for crushing/sweeping off center bends. Put the short end in your open hand during the hybrid technique and the long in in your closed hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
