intermediate Rev Tutorial - Body, Posture and Grip

I have just received my first Djinn vented including the Pro Handles. I tried to fly with too little wind with no effect.

With wind 6-15 brilliant. Messing around with leader lengths found what I considered a good starting point.

Problem_ I have small hands, my middle fingers will not grip the handle (Duy...... Syndrome.) Trying to use JB,s Hand positions becomes difficult-

If I place thumb on top of the handle my index fingers above the foam grip. I then lower my index finger my thumb is then on the back of the top tube. I can use my ring and little finger to hold the Foam. At present I am tempted to fashion a moulded thumb rest on the back face of the top tube.

With the grip I am using I am able to give brake input Sideways 0-80 so I am towards JB,s ideal

Any views on fashioning extra moulding on handles? Or any solutions to my Grip style

 

 

I did my practice today in glorious weather. Surprisingly I find the change of the grip position very difficult. I understand the background and the intention in John's recommendation - but I find it difficult to implement it. Small tutorial - big effect!
