You might not switch (and I don't either; and I think FED should change the mechanic), but the current, proper mechanic (assuming "pure" FED is used) is to switch on every foul.

For the OP -- if you tell your partner that you are new and want to work on mechanics, they might be more receptive to "doing it by the book". I know I have been when working with newer partners.
