I am a middle and I always have the same problem. How do I jump to block just beside my partner without hit him? I always leave some space between our hands because I think I am gonna hit him but I need to have my hands closer to him's
i think if you just shoot your arms directly up whilst standing next to him you shouldn't have a big problem with your hands touching but if it still is you could try jumping at the exact same time and angling yourself in the same angles
