Can I politely enquire why you don't want to change technique?

Leaving the kick beater on the head between strokes is a valid option 
(just like heel-up or down) and I won't try to talk you out of that 
(I do it too, though I'm trying not to). But I would have thought 
putting that much pressure on the beater - enought to distort the 
pad - isn't too healthy for or good for speed. To get the back-stroke 
you need to get all that weight off the pedal, and that takes time 
and energy.

Why do you need to lean on them so hard? Can you sit further back on 
the throne and take some of the weight off?
