There’s one tip I’m not seeing here – but I read through quickly so I might have missed it. Ideally, your finger will hammer onto the string just behind the fret. This minimizes the amount of energy you need to use, though you want to keep that speed factor. Just like regularly fretting a string – the further you are from the fret, the more force you have to apply to get it to fret well and not buzz.

Of course, where your finger is able to reach will depend on where your other fingers are located and how much you’re able to stretch. Shoot for the ideal, but be realistic with your anatomy.
