- The no twist while tamping seems to give me the best result
I just tamp it till I feel my Espro click, release and lightly twist to polish... everytime I forget not to twist with weight on top, I get chaneling around the middle of my puck... now I get a consistent shot, with blonding only at the end of the shot... with the 20g VST, I can do a longer pull without blonding to 2X 1.5 shot
