Which finger do you pop with?

Im having problems popping the D and G strings when double thumping on E....

it seems that my fingers are never set up in position to pop because i have to move my thumb out of the way

I have the opposite problem. When I'm thumpin, I find it easier to pop on a string further away. So if I thump on the E, G is very easy for me, D is easy too, A not so much. Thumpin then poppin on the same string...yeah that's really tricky for me.

I think it's cause I have fairly large hands. When I thump, my fingers naturally are pretty far away from my thumb so it's easy to bring them up to pop.

Oh and primarily, I use my index to pop. Just recently started developing my double pop technique though so I've been using my middle finger too.

I use my index when popping the string over, and my middle when skipping over a string to do octaves. But a lot of the time it'll get mixed up and i'll be popping octaves with my index and the next string over with my middle.

Pointer, middle, ring, and pinky are all available for popping.

I use all 4. The pinky is rarely used but it makes it's appearance from time to time.
