By that logic if I can mushroom stamp my way into the high 7s then it's cool right?

Last day to get in your 100 meter time. There has been an interesting distribution of times so far. No one is expected to beat Fly, but in homage to dead 80s arcades everywhere, crank T & F up and do your best (then enter your time in the poll on the blog. It's anonymous).

Developed the technique over a couple of beers one day and haven't looked back. Can't get my head (or hand) around the full finger rolling thing though.

I'd love to see a Micro VS Leaf switch contest. Maybe with someone who has a good time with one or the other. I haven't installed my leafs yet and if I posted my best time now with micro switches, everyone would call Randy ASAP for leafs...

Actually I have tried both and see no difference between good quality Micros and leafs. I'm sure different techniques and speeds would show a difference depending on how light your touch needs to be (and I have stuck with the leafs from GGG) but I think you need to be pretty fast before the switch is much of an issue.

The advantage from leaf switches will depend greatly on your play style. The key to those really low times will be in your ability to cycle those switches, not only quickly, but with properly alternation. A player with a light touch will benefit greatly from a leaf switch over a standard micro.

That's actually what I was trying to say (though clearly not very well). I should also point out that the micros I'm comparing against are GGG soft touch micros which already help greatly over normal micros.
