I had a friend that used this 'slam' technique as an exercise to
strengthen his fingers for specific movement of the keys (as opposed to
strengthening the entire hand, his hands were already bulky and he
wanted to avoid any more problem in that area). After several weeks his
trill speed began to increase. Could be some benefit to this 'slam' of
yours.
