Default Launching with an on/off clutch???

Interested in what everyone else is doing. When I had organic STI clutch it felt super fast to preload on handbrake and then release with about 5000rpm on board and lots of preload.

Now with my button ceramic and much more power the preload is almost impossible to achieve due to the on/off clutch.

What is the best technique if your not concerned about your box or clutch but dont want to break driveshafts.

I was thinking
1. Ride clutch with handbrake up for a sec to preload the parts.
2. With handbrake still up rev to the RPM required eg 4500 but without riding the clutch at all. Just holding it in.
3. Release handbrake as your release the clutch smoothly but fast and hang on.

Does this sound right?
