Default Buddy Club racing spec dampers question (already searched)

I know they are 16 way adjustable and you can adjust them by turning the **** on top of the shock. But is which direction do i turn to get the stiffer ride? From what i understand:

clockwise - stiffer
counter clockwise - softer

And i correct?

Thanks

Stupid question - dont the shocks have numerical values indicated on the dial....

ie: 1 is softer then 2, etc, etc, etc....

That would be amazing The **** on top of the shock is only about the size of a valve stem cap- I'd love to see them fit 16 numbers on there
My old AGXs were like that but they only had 4 settings. Now I have the BCs and you'll learn which way is right after one try- if you can't feel the difference between full soft and full stiff...
