Ahh Jake, apologies for being misleading.
Thatās me using a word one way, when it can be interpreted in many ways. Ambiguous at best, misleading at worst.
Maybe I can say that thinner needles do a better job of ādisplacingā the grinds.
In my anally retentive world, I āpushā a wheelbarrow. The whole thing moves.
But I realize that Iām being (a) pedantic and that (b) we all have different definitions of what push/displace/move might mean.
The thicker the needle, the higher number of grinds get āpushedā and the thinner the needles the more ādisplacementā and therefore ādistributionā occurs, which is the obijective.
And the thinner the needles, the more of them you need to get the job done. Four needles at 0.4mm seems to be what some prefer. My sworksdesign puck rakes has 11 needles, some 0.25mm and some 0.3mm (from memory).
And itās a spectrum, much like the one that Iām on. At one end there is more pushing and less distributing and at the other end itās the opposite, but both characteristics exist at either end.
This is where I start to sound like Iām engaging in a debate on how many angels can stand on a pin head (or in this case, an acupuncture needle) so I think Iāll end now because Iāve passed the TLDR threshold.
