I'm working on improving my grip and wanted to get some expert input....I've read all articles on grip posted here, Innova's site and even Mr. Climo's. My questions are many....
1) Does it matter what type of throwing style (bent elbow vs. full reach back) in terms of pressure points? I've seen articles stating that the main focus should be into the palm of the hand along the crease at the hit and others state that the focus is between the index finger and thumb pad. I'm trying to throw bent elbow, and my thinking is that it's better to focus on the pinch between the index and thumb pad. This would help with getting some acceleration on the disc pivot.
2) The thumb pad pressure can be directed….does it matter which direction? By this I mean it can be pushed with the pivot of the disc (like snapping your fingers) or against the pivot.
3) Also, how much downward thumb pad pressure does everyone use and is it directed? Forward or backwards if the thumb nail is pointed straight up in front of you. In the past, I did little more than rest my thumb on top of the disc.
4) Is there a grip that is better suited for smaller hands? Especially in trying to get and keep the nose down. (I've tried the boneapane; I'm not a big fan)
