Re: preferred cane techniques?
If I'm just going somewhere I know pretty well, I use the old diagonal technique. Holding my cane in my right hand, it's diagonally out in front the tip is out in front of my left foot. If I'm going somewhere I don't know, I use the sweep technique. If it's crowded I use the touch technique because it lets people know I'm coming through.
From what I'm told O and M instructors nowadays teach holding the cane slightly offside so you don't jab yourself. That hurts. I like ambutech rolling tips, and I walk fast, so longer canes are more appropriate for me.
I did use a large ball tip for a while in college when I did a lot of marching band stuff that required me to cut across grass a lot.
