I've been sitting here playing virtual Rudy Etchen vs. straithand for ten minutes. It could be that a straithand maximizes the length of the palm and puts the T-phalange in a line continuous with that of the forearm bones . . . or maybe the moon has to be in the Seventh House? Does tend to work out for me, I think, as I "tolerate" long LOPs better on stocks with open semi-pistol or strait grips. Not sure what I "need". I don't hit everything so I guess whateer it is, I need some more of it.
