Hi! I was practicing my steal moves and I have a question about the rhythm of the motion. I have noticed that a lot of experimented operators makes a little pause while stealing the pea so that the motion is divided in two stages: first a little move to pinch the pea and then the rest of the movement. This is particularly noticeable when they are executing maneuvers or long movements across the pad. Did You find a way to execute the "pinch & move" in the same motion (without taking a micro pause)? Can You share some advices to practice it the proper way? Many thanks for your answers

Practice, Practice, practice and practice

Go on youtube,put in Brick Tilley three shell game.see the steals/loads with CLEAR shells so you can get the timing.

Do it slowly with no pausing over and over until you naturally do it at speed.

Alternatively, move every single shell in two motions exactly the same way and it's impossible to tell what you are doing.

Interesting
