Why do you guys do that stuff?

Its simple.
More anticipation = more force
Also less drawn frames, less wobblyness and more smoothness :3 (unless you are a pro at single framing then who needs double framing)

I do only single framing ... when I double frame it looks like it lags. And because of my "nooby" style of drawing wobblyness is kinda acceptable ... I think/hope so.

Double framing is a technique. When something moves relatively slowly you can double frame it. Of course you also need to know how to position your frames so that it doesn't come out choppy, but that comes with practice

I never double frame in pivot because if I can't move one thing more than a pixel, I can move some other stuff to keep movement happening. With Flash I understand its use because having to redraw a stick every frame can be tedious, especially so for the smaller movements, but practice over time should really make that obsolete. Professionally, stickmen should not be double framed. That's more of a fullbody thing due to their detail, at least until you reach disney-tier animation.

Thanks and the thing Im doing instead of double frame I draw in-between two frames slowing the movement down , is thatnice?

That's fine, it's going to take you a seriously long time to do things like that properly once you seriously get a hang of movements though

I animate with quite literally all double frames. Not animate it singleframed then doubleframe, just straight up double-frames. Just something Ive developed over time, I get a more realistic feel that way. What I've been doing recently is occasionally doing the inbetweens tho, gets that same realistic feel without the choppiness. Thing there is it takes quite a bit of time to do all the inbetweens. At the end of the day I ask myself is it worth it, and remember ain't nobody got time for dat. That's just my thing tho, do whatever you like. Its all preference.

Double frame is not a standard but rather a means to help anticipation, less drawing of frames, and overall looks better if done properly than a single framed one.
The goal should be whether the end product looks great or not. That can tell if whatever you're doing is okay or not or probably you need more practice. Do NOT double frame just because you want to. In animation, there is a purpose for every single thing you put in it.
