So I have been focusing on bumping lately, until i get some funds for new locks, and I think I have found an important technique to add to regular bumping technique. I have watched many videos of people bumping and haven't seen it used but i apologize if it is already widely known. I have found that if you bump the key into the lock and it doesn't open right away, stop. Don't reset the key again, first give the key a couple taps on the top in the downward motion. Don't beat it like it stole from you, but just a few taps. I have found that this boosts my success rate tremendously. Is this already widely known? If so, what is your success rate on higher end locks or just different locks in general?

Never tried that one yet. Sems like a viable technique.
