THT

Jack,

In examining the grip required to initiate THT, it appears there are 2 methods to consider. The backward "pull" force can be applied with top hand:

1. Thumb base
2. Fingers.

Which is correct? It occurs to me the thumb base is ideal since it is relatively strong, and situated farthest from spin axis between the hands.

Thanks,
Mike.
