Hey all you big standers (i.e C. Smith, D. McKim, Meat, etal): Do you guys use a hook grip or just grip it and rip it in the WOB? During the season I tried to get used to hooking, but it just didn't feel right. |

Hook grip, either tacky or chalk depending on weather conditions. |

I never hooked in the WOB, but I always knew I was in the minority.

D-handles suck, in both WFD and WOB. Those are what should be banned. |

Exactly, maybe a little tape ripped in half and wrapped around the fingers and an ever so slight spray of tack. |

I won't accuse him of talking dirty, but Roy is right on for my personal prescription. I use the tape ripped in half and tape it around the base of each finger except the thumb. I don't ever wipe off all my tacky from WFD and hammers, so that gives me a little stick at the end of the day.
I've tried the hook. No go. I like the weight out long on my hands and ready for pulling power. |
