Default RE: Thumbs vs. Pinch method

Right stick = pinch
Left stick = thumb

(that makes 3 of us ???)


Back in the days when slotcars were a big thing, they discovered that guys who worked the throttle with just their thumb weren't as fast as guys who used their index finger on the throttle. At first the index-finger guys took heat for "affecting a look". After awhile that vanished because they were the ones who won all the time. Others picked it up and started winning all the time too. Everybody picked it up and everybody was winning again. The index finger was more accurate, faster, and had more "reach".
