hey guys i was thinking what is the best version of the DL when looking at the following points:

1) Is it easy to perform
2) Does it look natural
3) How easy it is to get caughts

Well guys looking forward to hear what u guys think.

The whole idea of a DL is to look natural, like you're turning only one card over.

Getting caught?

You need to practice a bit if you get caught doing a DL, it's a pretty basic move, and fundamental to real card magic, whichever method you use.

bale add (14,sh) in your profile's location slot, this will help us a lot.
i dont use either of thouse for a DL, in squaring up the pack i just lift two cards and thumb slide across to push both tougether, didn't know there was more than one way to do it

Excellent point. There are numerous ways to perform a DL, and the two in your Poll are only a slice. Most people develop their own way and method anyway, as it depends on your general style (straight/flamboyant/hard/fast).

This is less of a 'poll' and more of a general question, methinks.

Just learn several types then mix and match parts of them like-
-holding break from fan/ riffling to get the break
-lifting the cards as one and turning your hand over/ turning these two on an axis back onton the deck.
This way you learn a few and choose which one suits you naturally.

hey this poll went wrong i tried to add other options i odnt know how to delete the message and i know loads of double lifts but my favorite is hit DL. and i ment like some1 catches you with a break or somethihng. with th hit double u dont need a break.

forgive my bluntness but if you are askilled hobbyist... then how do you get caught doing a DL?? i would say i was only a very amateur hobbyist but noone has ever seen my double?
