[CW] Copy speed (Was: Straight key vs paddle)

[Troy]

That's how I do now. I could print up to about 22-25 or so, but got too far behind any faster. Also, I switched from a pencil to ballpoint pen and that helped speed my writing.

  David, you mean you print?  For me, an e is just a loop.  Cursive has always been faster than printing.  Of course we could all learn shorthand, but I just write the words as they come.

  You can modify your handwriting for more speed:  You can write an "E" by making a swing like "(" with a right-going "-" at the center, or a zig-zag!

  Sure is faster when copying "E"!
