Some of the things that I have noticed at the meets
Where you hold the razors, I have seen many with their fingers on the flats, not a bad thing but if your fingers are on the corners of the tang it allows you to torque the edge the way you want
Speed, It does NOT make your stropping better it really doesn't 1- 1thousand up,,,, 2- 1 thousand back is plenty fast
Pressure, light but steady
Strop Taut, This comes with experience, but the idea that the strop must be held with a grip of steel and flat as a board will change over time
I usually say "Taut" not "Tight" it is a subtle difference but it is a difference
