Right?! I want to see this technique on someone with rolling veins! If my veins even senses a needle within a 60 mile radius, they go into hiding and I get bruised to hell and back until they're found.

Agree, need ideal circumstances and lots of experience to have success with this. This is not something that can be done on most.

Agreed. From https://www.laitimes.com/en/article/3w73a_4cv0n.html:

“However, Zhang Rongfang, the "master" who taught Wang Yang the "flying needle" blood collection method, introduced that not everyone is suitable for the "flying needle" blood collection method, some patients are fat, the blood vessels are thin, it is not easy to identify, they will carefully check the direction of the blood vessels before blood collection, and use traditional methods to be more prudent.”
