Title: Span question..Please help!!
Post by: slp300 on March 04, 2011, 02:02:05 PM

Ok. My question is in regards to where the creases on your fingers line up with each other. I remember reading in Bill Taylor's book that the difference in the creases should dictate the difference in span on each finger. My creases are almost straight across from one another. If I remember reading correctly that means my ring finger should be a bit longer than my middle finger span. The reason I'm asking is that my driller recently shortened my span on my ring finger and now I can absolutely get nothing on the ball. If I put my thumb in and lay my hand down across the ball my ring finger nearly goes to the top of the lift. Middle finger is a bit short but not nearly as bad. Please someone out there know what I'm talking about and be able to help me. It's been a long time since reading the book I just cant remember what it said. Thanks for any replies in advance.

Put your thumb completely in its hole and lay your hand across the top of your finger holes, with just a little tension on the web of your thumb.  For a fingertip grip the gripping edge of each finger hole should be half way between the finger joints.  --  JohnP
