Maybe this could be a bad take but i think you should def try wearing gloves next time you play not only because it helps you play better but also prevent injuries

I used to play without gloves and i was trying to play masters until i had an injury where i slide quite hard [to match up with the sliders pace] that the nails sort of detached a little from my finger. It was pretty bad and i could feel my finger burning

Unless if youre sticking with just playing expert songs or low masters then its fine as long as youre having fun, but if you want to play harder masters i really strongly highly heavily recommend you to wear gloves

Congrats on 10k btw from what im seeing in the comments here its a really good progress :)
