I Love My New Clutch, but I Also Hate It

The topic might sound weird but it's so true. I installed a new ACT clutch and I love the power it delivers. But the problem is I'm still having trouble getting used to it because I'm used to driving with a slipping clutch. If I let go of the clutch too quickly when I launch (dont wanna slip it or wear it down) It might either stall or the whole car would shake violently. If i let go of it slowly, then I'd get a better launch. But I heard it's not good for the clutch if you release it slowly. I know I need more practise but I'm so pissed right now, just wanna share.

Oh yeah, it'd stall even though I gave some gas.

something's gotta give, either the tires, the engine or the clutch. engine isn't an option so leaves slipping the clutch or lighting the tires.

did you get the 6 puck? if not then...it is just you
try driving an unsprung hub clutch, then you will know how easy your car is.

a certain amount of slipping the clutch is the only way to drive smoothly.
