Spot on. Wing Chun is all about speed and sensitivity. One shouldn't be crushing hands on the dummy.
Also, if you want to learn Wing Chun... DON'T start with the dummy!!! Took me 2 years before I was allowed to progress to that. Start with Su Lim Toa... it's not really something to learn on your own though. Join a club as you really need people to train sticky hands with.
