    Can someone explain this grip please? Are all the knuckles supposed to be on bevel 2? How best can I visualize this grip?

    Anybody out there? By the way, I messed up my post a bit with the second picture...but I can't seem to edit it. That's odd.

      The index knuckle is on Bevel 2 and the heel pad is mostly on Bevel 1. It is a bit weaker than what I think Pete really used later in his career, but probably the exact right grip to learn. Of course I'm biased in that this is what I would teach as well...

        Do you find that it's easier for players to learn the two-hander rather than the one-hander? If so, why?

          The dinstinction is too simple. The kids--for the most part two-handers are easier, for obvious reasons. Adults? Most adult males will do way better with the one-hander. Women the two hander. But there are always exceptions. Read the post about the 7 year old with one-hander. You can't make rules--it's always a matter of experience.
