Yea, except no grip feels "GREAT" to me other than a power grip and because of that grip no mid is feeling right to me.
This could be due to small hands tho.

I use a modified Power/Fan grip. I hold the disc with my index and pinky fingers as if using a 4-finger power grip and I "fan"/stack my middle and ring fingers.

Note: this is the grip I use for driving with putters and mids... not for putting.

Do any of you think that one of these grips enables you to produce more spin on your midrange or putter over the other?
Thanks Albino...that grip didn't feel right at all to me in the first place. I tried it earlier this year for putting (per Beto putting video) and didn't like it. And I like your suggestion about more contact with the rim by all fingers. Makes sense to me.
i use this on certain discs that I cant get a comfortable power grip...and sometimes I just stack the middle and ring on top of the "pinkie"Sorry for stealing the idea travis.
I want to know if anyone else uses these grips for their mids and putters. I have really large hands, I have trouble power gripping anything under a speed 7 because of the smaller rim.
So for my mids, I use a modified power grip, Picture this, I hole it like a normal power grip, but my middle and ring fingers are out straight resting in the middle of the disc.
When i am driving my putter, I have my pointer finger resting on the nose, like I am putting, my middle and ring fingers are fanned out resting in the middle of the discs, and my pinkie is gripped against the inner rim. I know this is weird, but I can throw my Wizard out there 240' now.
Does anyone else do something like this.
This is alot closer to what I'm talking aboutI use a three finger fork grip. Keeps the disc's plane aligned with my forearm.
Just Like this. I even sometimes use the Fork grip that Climo describes in his video, and apply alot of pressure between thumb and index sometimes causing my index to pull away from the inside rim a little and locking the rim into my second knuckle on my index finger.I use a modified Power/Fan grip. I hold the disc with my index and pinky fingers as if using a 4-finger power grip and I "fan"/stack my middle and ring fingers.

I guess I really shouldn't say contact so much as pressure. Climo's fork grip doesn't have many contact points, but the pressure due to the stack is like having all the fingers on, but only have 2 points of contact to make it so there are less points for a disc to release from.
