    As far as I know, the only real "finger switching trick" is Key3's Flush Sonic.
    Have any other tricks been developed that incorporate the concept of "finger switching"?
    I know combos like Charge T1 -> Charge T2 -> Charge T3 have become increasingly popular.
    But how would one define this style?
    Are there other mini combos that can define this style as well as the "Korean BackAround ~> FL TA Reverse" defines the Korean Style?

    I think TA Harmonic Rise/Fall defines that style pretty well.

    RD/NC is already working on this, we're waiting on an official definition of what finger switiching is in the first place.

    I'd suggest you just take a look at fratleyms video's tongue.gif . But I guess he has his own finger switching style.

    I remember Fratleym was the first one to introduce 'fingerswitching' as a style. I think finger switch style is a lot of tricks like sonic clip 13, or flush sonics. Things that use the 13, 24, and 14, finger slots.

    Fingerswitching Style use a lot of wipers, charges, passes, sonic clip (flush sonic too). Thumb is almost in every pass and fingerswitching uses all slots (a few of them : t1 t2 t3 t4 14 24)

    I'd like to know, the korean sonic is a noesonic 12-t1, then point the index to pass in t2, then reput the index to get back in 12.

    the neosonic 12-t1 obligates us to change direction. But if we aren't obligated to change direction... no, admitting I start with a charge t1, the fact of passing in t2 then in 12, is it a fingerswitch?

    If yes, we could consider the korean sonic as a form of fingerswitch?

    korean sonic?
    do you mean tipped sonic?

    and finger swtiching is not FRAT style.... its a style device he puts into his spinning.
    like holding the pen at T1 and then switching it to T3 like in this video @ 48 seconds:

    but that is just an example. there are other ways of doing "finger switching" but sonic clip is not one.

    Finger switching is something ever one should learn, it will help a lot.

    Fingerswitching needs a very accurate definition... otherwise sonic 23-12 can be Charge 23 [s 0.1] > Charge 13 [s 0.7] > Charge 23 [s 0.2] or something like that =p
