I agree. There is really NO RIGHT WAY. First relax. 2ndly, be sure to focus on the area that you want to go and not look at where the needle is because you need to look ahead to where you want to go. As someone posted a few days ago, it is suddenly going to CLICK and it will make sense to you. It is like learning to ride a bicycle or drive a car. Good Luck.
