Two way NMF for me is the way to go in a Precision system because you can get out in things.

Example one:

1D-1M
1NT-2C

2C forces 2D where the followups are:

Pass = long diamonds, with side four card major.
2H = weak, both majors, any 5-4, but hearts > spades.
2S = both majors but inviting to the dance, as before, hearts > spades.

That means that with us, this sequence coming is an invite:

1D-1S
1NT-2H.

The other element of it is with NMF with us is that in some cases we can jump to show specific hand types over the 2D GF relay:

1D-1M
1NT-2D (game going).

All bids at three level shows 3 card support for the beginning major, 5 diamonds, and a doubleton in the suit we did NOT jump to. So:

1D-1H
1NT-2D
3C (I own this hand pard: 2-3-5-3).

Cute huh?
