DBX medium speed limit

Playing Technique
#1

I have recently gotten some degree of DBX picking to work. However, it caps out at about 165 bpm, and is very inconsistent/ “sticky” feeling at it’s highest tempo (in the same way string hopping feels). My understanding of the technique I am using is wrist deviation for the primary motion, and forearm rotation for string changes.

Here is an attached video of me doing the technique and the fastest I can. This feels pretty stiff and is inconsistent, but is the best I currently have.

That’s around the same I have doing dbx or full alternate picking, if that’s the medium I don’t want to know the faster lol really.

I’d rather do usx and just pretend I am good

That’s why usx is faster. Half is on the left hand the other on the right pick. Full alternate is all on the left and right, at the same time. Clean but slow. In terms of shred.

But usx as I posted there is far more relaxed and faster
