SBRQ means?

Speed
Balance
Rythym
Quickness

Thank you! So the point is that if a handcheck disrupts any one of SBRQ, take that as a queue to call it, otherwise let it go?

I try to use it as a general guideline, but I have been criticized a time or two for allowing too much hand-checking. Still a part of my game I need to get more consistent with.

For the most part. Also two hands is generally in automatic.

IMO, this is a non-issue. I have never heard of an observer noticing this. Be sharp in the way you call the things that you do, but use which ever hand is comfortable for you.

It is important you don't overwelm yourself. Take a few things that you need to work on, write them down on paper and look them over before the game. Once you get this and that down move on to the next thing. If my memory is correct you are only in HS, you have PLENTY of time to get better and improve so don't rush things. I'm sure just about everyone on this board wish they started when you did.

I agree with everything that Snakeyes wrote, with the one exception. Very good avdice.
