Flitting through recentish archives I see somebody asking about bending with a block. I also see some one saying that more control is obtained on 2/3 draw when bent with a pucker. I'm not sure I agree. If you are used to puckering your bends it takes quite a lot of work getting comfortable with the block bend, but is no harder once you are used to it.
Mark Hummel and Mark Ford are definite bend/blockers. I am fairly certain that William Clarke too was a 99% blocker - the remaining 1% being puckered blow bends.
