any tips for doing this ?

 

i have played for years with my thumb over the neck and have been practicing playing 'properly', I'm better now but pull offs feel awkward and slow compared to how I can do them with my thumb over the neck

It shouldn't matter where your thumb is - make sure that you are pulling off at an angle instead of lifting straight off.

 

 

upwards or down?

what does angling lifting matter as opposed to directly up and off

Towards the floor.

Yes, big time. When you pull off at an angle (I'm usually about 45 degrees) it pulls on the string, making it vibrate again, which is exactly what you want. That way you can keep a trill going without picking forever.
