Vibrato (string Gauge), How do you do it? Options

[Marco Fattori]

For example, Im talking about wide heavy aggressive vibrato. Like Zakk Wylde wide, I use D'Addario 10's on a Floyd Rose (hate Floyd Rose bridges these days) and the string tension is okay, but vibrato becomes a little difficult especially wide vibrato.

A lot ofprofessional Guitarist with amazing vibrato such as Marco Sfogli an Italian Guitarist, and many Japanese Guitarist (Leda, Syu, Takayoshi Ohmura) use 9's for easy control. As I bend up and try and come back down to raise back up the tension fights it hard.

Do you guys alter string gauge to make wide vibrato easier? Or is it over practice and time that it becomes either easier or the fingers get stronger, Ive been trying to practice excellent vibrato for a while now, and I'm a perfectionist.
