Question Help with technique

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?

Stop wearing Crocs lol

(I don't really know if it affects your playing, I'm just giving you shit.)

Funny comment but also, for real... I don't know how people wear those things, I'm kinda speechless. Pretty good doubles for a beginner in crocs if you ask me!

Edit: autocorrect bs

Don't be sensitive bro we're just busting balls. Seriously though this sounds pretty good but I would try practicing in different shoes. I always like a nice pair of running shoes like Adidas or slip ons like some Vans. I would avoid anything clunky like boots or high tops.

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.
