When you play regular two finger style, where along the finger do you move? second knuckle, third? both? Could there be a way to refine that movement to be easier on the hands?
According to my bass teacher, you should be using your arm to make a well rounded note and develop a better callous. However, this has met with opposition here.
I guess I tend to use all, but I am trying to get my arm to do the work.
The whole arm from the shoulder down? and elbow and wrist? I guess as far as spreading out the work goes it makes sense. But like you said, dudes around here would probably chase you out of the village with torches for such talk.
