What is the best way to hold the buzzer???

Post by Strongside »

From what I have observed there are three types of buzzers.

Handheld buzzers where you use your thumb
Buzzers where you use your index finger
Buzzers where you use several fingers

For each of these buzzers what is the best way to hold the buzzer?

Some ways that I have thought of are pressing the buzzer against the table and holding the button partway down so it takes less time to buzz in or just doing it the conventional way.

What do you think?

I honestly think that in the long run it doesn't matter how you hold your buzzer...the better team in terms of knowledge will usually win as questions even out in a tournament

But I feel that hold it as you are most comfortable and in contrlol
