| OK, this is starting to make sense. Up till now I've been trying to literally follow the instructions to offer a flat hand and keep thumbs out of the way. Maybe keeping such a weak hold is part of why my lead isn't clear? I undertand the need to avoid injury only too well - my girlfriend almost had the tendon in her right arm by a beginner (not me!) with a vice-like grip who didn't let go for the spin part of a hatchback. However surely something should be mentioned about when to vary the grip, at least during the beginners review class or workshops? |
