07 TL-S Downshift to 2nd hard??? How to Shift Right.....HELP!

I have noticed that when I want to downshift into second to take off it seems very hard without making the car go crazy. I mean I really have to rev up the engine before letting out the clutch in order to get the car to go smoothly into 2nd and accelerate. Otherwise when I downshit it makes the car buck back cause the RPMs fly up. Any tips on downshifting to pass with the type S... I have been letting the clutch out sorta slower than normal when downshifting into 2nd... Can someone please tell me the correct way to do it as in racing and normal hard driving. Thanks! I want to learn how to drive right... In first gear do you guy rev it up and let the clucth grab or let the clutch grab and give it gas at the same time to have a smooth start. I have been reving it and letting the clutch out slow but I have also acceived a good slow start letting the clutch grab and adding gas at the same time. what is right?
