I find the Mongoose Lifter to be very versatile. I am able to adjust my roll quite a bit, depending on my need. The Lifter has a half inch strap that keeps your fingers in place. However, you can strap in any number of fingers tightly or loosely or none at all which allows for numerous finger positions. In addition, the wrist support the Lifter provides does not leave you in a cupped position - it just prevents your wrist from breaking back too far. However, if you want cupping Mongoose sells an insert that will give you that too.
