DBX issues

Description

Hi! I am USX player. I am trying to develop my DBX technique but am having a real tough time. I think I suffer from trying too many hand positions and styles, trying to finally break through. I have attached three videos: * In DBX-1, the heel of my palm is anchored, and my fingers are floating. *In DBX-2, my palm is floating, and my pinky and 3rd finger are anchored. *USX example for reference. I haven't been able to get much faster than what is shown in these videos. Am I stringhopping? If so, do you have any suggestions on how I can fix it? Thank you! Burgess
