it is very limiting to think about sticking or push hands while (free) sparring.

If the method is not working under moderate pressure then it's probably not the right method to apply in that situation.
I guess this is one of the reasons why it's so hard to learn Tai Chi. Anyways I was thinking about what wayne hansen said about wing chun being all peng and angular momentum. That seems to be a very concise explanation of the experience. It's a good way of looking at what I was feeling from him. Dealing with it was interesting, but it is impossible for me to describe it in words offhand. It was as much my fault as his. I realized I was fighting him because he was fighting me.
粘黏連隨
[4] STICK, ADHERE, CONNECT, AND FOLLOW
粘者提上拔髙之謂也
黏者留戀繾綣之謂也
連者舍己無離之謂也
隨者彼走此應之謂也
要知人之知覺運動非明粘黏連隨不可斯粘黏連隨之功夫亦甚細矣
Sticking means to lift up high.
Adhering means to stay and be attached.
Connecting means to let go of yourself and not separate from the opponent.
Following means to follow him wherever he goes.
If you want to move with awareness and yet you do not understand sticking, adhering, connecting, and following, it will be beyond your reach, for it is a very subtle skill.
It seems some are talking about strategies confusing them with attributes /skill
Push hands is a way of training to gain the skill so that one can implement the strategies.
