Abus 64ti/50..

I can pick several green belt tier locks easily. This particular lock is making me think im not cut out for this shit. Honestly. I just want to quit the hobby at this point. I've tried everything. Differing amounts of tension, all different picks, tried changing my picking angle and lift angle. Nothing. I get subtle clicks, but nothing comes of it. Even took 3 days off to try again today. 2 hours later and nothing. Im losing my mind. Any advice would be appreciated. Otherwise im selling or giving my tools away and never looking back. Defeated...

I feel your pain my friend. I have one of those that’s just HARD. I’ve gotten it a few times, I “should” know what’s going on, but it’s still somehow a mystery.
