Re: preferred cane techniques?
I was first taught diagonal technique, then shortly after this I was taught touch technique. This is my standard, including placing my right elbow against my breastbone. My cane is just short of my chin, and I don't try to run with it.
I will touch and drag if looking for new tactile surfaces, but otherwise it's two-point touch all the way. I'm quite gentle, so you'll hear me coming but I'm not hammering the floor.
Rolling tips are great fun and feel nice, but generally they're just heavier. I prefer a folding cane with a pencil tip. It's pretty rare that I get stuck in cracks, and I just pop my arm out to the side in that case. I was taught by someone who drilled me on all the fundamentals. I will never willingly use a rigid cane that can't fold, because the cane I've got lets me pick up virtually anything I'm told an NFB cane does.
