get better tires. To feather the clucth is basically the same as slipping the clutch. It's an art form that takes a while to master. basically you let the clutch part way out and depress the throttle part way. It's a dance that you must learn to get a good launch on crappy street tires.

Or you could also use the term of "Riding the clutch" as well as a good way to explain it.

actually this term is mostly used for new drivers as they tend to keep a foot on the clutch pedal and ride it enough to make the clutch slip. What's next double clutching lol
