Do you two finger or full hand your clutch/break? (lemmy.world)

So I am not a novice rider. Had my first bike for close to 10 years.

The clutch was kinda hard to pull, so i would full fist that clutch. I now have an XSR and I am starting to try out two fingering it. Tho during one ride I feel like i would pull the clutch with my two fingers, but kicking the shifter was kind of hard or something, but then I moved back to full hand and it was smooth again. I do feel i was pulling it entirely out.

How should I improve my technique?

My current bike is an XSR 900 if it matters or anyone is curious.

Full hand but I've got baby hands.

I think the two finger thing for braking would be great if I could manage it reasonably. Probably have to adjust my brake cable for the front though. Dialing it in now that I'm used to it would be a pain.
