How do people downshift for more power without rev-matching?
Discussion
If you don't enjoy rev-matching with the throttle (whether blip or sustained, with or without either or both of h & t or double declutch) why would you buy a car with a clutch pedal?
I consider all those to be useful techniques for a great driver to have in the toolbox. And for folk who belong to my driving club in which we drive one another's cars the ability to rev match is essential.

I blip/rev match on every down change in any vehicle I drive with a manual box-it’s mostly from habit , when I first started driving hgv’s in the 1990’s constant mesh gearboxes were still common, you literally could not downchange without crunching/fighting with the gearstick if you didn’t!
I soon got proficient at only using the clutch pedal for stopping or pulling away ,and every gearshift would be without using the clutch-but a decent blip of the throttle to rev match was a must on a downshift,but once mastered you could do lightning fast changes with a Fuller 13 speed gearbox.

I think for some it is tiresome to have to think about things. The synchromesh allows for a lazy shift so they take that option without possibly realising the advantages of putting some effort in.I consider all those to be useful techniques for a great driver to have in the toolbox.

I also grind and extract my own espresso as I enjoy the process and results, whilst others are happy with a teaspoon and granules.
Each to their own I guess, but I prefer my outcomes.

May I recommend a Nespresso Vertuo if you ever decide to change... absolute game changer!
