I'm not having any trouble keeping the KO count, but I crave some more edge and want to step up to Zen. The different number values are a little daunting. Should it take long to make this switch? I was hoping to do it in a week or two. Am I dreaming? What other problems am I up against? Don't I have to convert to TC in this system?
learning the new counting tags will not take you that long. 1-2 weeks max.
I'm learning unballanced zen and it really hasn't been that difficult to get to the 30 second/deck rate.
KO-Zen are fairly similar in that you don't count 8,9. but it will take a little practice looking for new cancelation patterns.
Deck estimation, TC conversion, and new index numbers will be the real challenge IMHO. I'm having a hard enough time trying to find a good set of index numbers for UBZ, i suspect there is much more accurate info out there for zen, and a lot of people on here use it so you're in good shape.
