This question is for veteran tattoo artists that used coils for a long time before switching to rotary.

My question is this:
Is it possible to use a direct drive for anything from lining to smooth black and grey, color portraits and color packing, and never have to use a machine with give at all ever?

The reason I asked is because I was doing a large black and grey piece today with my new Prodigy (RCA lol) using a straight edge 9 Bug pin mag, and a straight 13 Bug pin mag
It was a sacred heart, angel, roses.. the whole shebang.. and I didn't really use any give on the Prodigy. It was more speed and depth

Am i right to assume that using the proper stroke length, the correct volt speed, and precise depth is all that matters and that give doesn't really do shit?
I know for a fact that give on a coil machine is crucial because the downward force of the magnet if very quick and powerful and the only thing stopping the needles is dermis and the rear spring tension.
Thus it is really easy to go to deep.
