What they are telling you falls on deaf ears.

You are Over-loading (we'll save this one for another time), Round-housing, off Plane...The hands will communicate all of this if you will only pay attention. They, pressure points 1,2,3 located in the hands, are always trying to communicate, along with their distant cousin, the #4 Pressure Point. That is where your precision is if you use them; recognizing and reconcilling minor differences. The first step is to listen even if you don't speak the language yet.
This is quite possibly one of the three best post ever written on this forum. This needs to be further explored . . .

How much are the pressure points loaded? How do you load them more "sharply" to increase lag? Do you focus on the hands "generally" or just #3? The left hand monitors alignments and the right hand accleration . . . how do you do that effectively at the same time? Can the hands control axis tilt and hip motion?

This post is so dang good . . . It needed to be dusted off and trotted out again for further discussion.
