I tried single clutching for a while but the momentum lost waiting for the gears to slow down was annoying so I went back to double clutching. As far as down shifting for a turn I do that as soon as I pull my arm back in from signaling so I’m downshifting while taking the corner. Piece of cake once you get the hang of it, just have to remember to rev it more than you think you have to. If it’s a wide turn sometimes I won’t downshift but I’d rather wind it out than lug the engine.
