Hi David, 

Do you think LW is tongue blocking or puckering intro to Boom Boom?

LW tongue blocked almost all

LW tongue blocked almost all the time... switching possibly for some articulate passages, but he no doubt switched a lot less than you'll commonly hear people say he did.

Boom Boom again..

Did you mean LW tongue blocked switched from one side of mouth to opposite side or that he switched to puckering from the tongue block style?

I believe he did both, but in this thread I was speaking about puckering. Every now and again a tongue block players will switch to puckering for articulate passages, such as using udl-adl on the 2 draw.
