[SECC] Tips on getting used to iambic paddle?

[AE4Y]

I've been using an iambic paddle for about 25 years.  For a couple of 
years prior to the iambic, I used a regular paddle keyer.  It seems to 
me that the transition was relatively easy.  As I recall the best tip is 
practice, practice, practice.
