Total flicker. I tried every other way, and it’s the only method that feels natural. I also wrap my yarn weird; two counter-clockwise turns on the pinky, one on the middle, and over the index. For some reason I have a hard time maintaining tension, and that’s the only thing that works for me. I’m not TERRIBLY fast, but I’d say I’m not too bad for someone who’s been knitting 7 months.
Very Pink Knits is sort of the “Queen of Flicking”. However, if you watch very many flicking videos, you will discover that the direction she tensions her yarn around her index finger (behind and then on top) is different than lots of others flickers (directly from right needle to index finger all on top). At first I thought I could never flick because I had great difficulty tensioning the yarn in the direction she does. Either way, it is still called flicking and she is still the Queen on the throne😄
RUclips is so useful because we are able to see so many different ways to get a desired result. I love watching Very Pink Knits approach to things myself. I've found I have to switch up the way I tension for any style of knitting depending on the yarn as well. If its a slippery yarn I need to full wrap around my finger, while sticky yarns feel like they tension themselves. We're all different and that's what makes us human, it's all about finding what makes you your best.

New to knitting and have learned as a Thrower, but was interested in trying out picking for speed. Thanks for the advice.
Happy it helps!

Clear and object!
I’m a thrower learning to pick.
Love it! What drew you in to learn picking?
