I was a sloppy DJ and tended to ride the platter and spindles with my fingers a lot - but that worked for me on my previous decks. On the Technics, the turntable was pushing a bit too hard to really make much of a dent in the nudging adjustment and I didn't know how I'd get on with that.However, I have since adapted and have got used to what kind of things to do to tap and hold back the vinyl - but it has also made me slightly better at (arguably) doing things properly and tweaking the pitch control to keep time, rather than a lot of squeezing of the platter spindle etc that I used to do too much of before. If you're like me and tend to do a bit of both methods, a slightly weaker torque overall may not be a disadvantage as it may make things more tactile and controllable.</blockquote>
