I'm having trouble with this technique. Any suggestions? I've been told and shown that its the same tongue position as with a blow bend while tongue blocking. I'm sure that's true, but I'm still having problems. I was never a tongue block bender until this year, and I'm still getting the hang of that. Any suggestions?
