Who Has the Biggest Hand Span Here?
« on: January 12, 2009, 02:40:55 AM »
Basically what you do is spread your hand wide and measure from the end of the thumb to the farthest distance across your hand to whatever finger produces the longest distance (usually thumb to ring finger produces best numbers unless you are an alien).

I measure at around 10.1".

I guess you could.  But I am talking about maximum span with hand in stretched position.  I sure don't have a bowling ball span of 10.1" LOL.

I want to see if there is a correlation between big hand spans and crankers vs. strokers.

I have a relatively small hand (I think my RF span is 4 1/4), and while I'm not 500 revs, I get a good amount of revs on the ball.

You should really stop being so modest on this site. Brag a little every now and then.

And ESPN can air the pro-basketball palming championship right after the cup stacking finals.

Hey Necro,

Measuring the hand your way, mine is only about 9.2".  

However, I have a "digit" that is almost that long.

I think he is actually measuring to see who has the shortest hand so as to see who he can ask to slap him and knock some sense into him....  
although he shold use the one with the biggest hand for that.... it MAY help the cause. NOT very likely, but bigger=better in most cases.
