LJ, I know Manny will have his own opinion but I think you just answered your own problem. You say your lower registers sound clear and RELAXED but the upper sounds FORCED. Do some studies (Clarke, Arban, etc) that transcinds both reigsters or rides the line between the two and try to get that clear, focused, RELAXED sound in the higher register. Instead of multiple tounging though, I'd just work on the sound concept. Then after you have your "sound" you can start with the tounging up there. just my 2 cents.
