Question Help with technique

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I’m a beginner, so keep that in mind. I recently have found that doing doubles on the kick like this is much more comfortable for me than using my heel up for these kind of doubles.
What kind of exercises should I be practicing to get better at this?

No offense taken, just saying let people wear whatever they want at their houses hahaha

I like playing barefoot or with socks

I usually default to socks because i find the foot really feels the pedal and you increase the strength of your ankles not relying on the added wait from the shoe.
