I have been playing around with different grips lately, ESPECIALLY for drivers and Wider rimmed discs. I have the Smallest Man hands in the world, so I have a HARD time gripping discs and getting consistent release. I have found the past week that a 2 finger (index and middle finger) grip work AMAZING for me compared to a traditional 4 fingered power grip on drivers and mids. I get more snap, AND, it is WAY MORE accurate for me.
Does hand size, finger length, play a big part in this? I have very short fingers and wide hands, but I have VERY STRONG hands. I can literally crush walnuts in my hands without much effort. Which brings me to think that a 2 finger grip is what is saving me. When I try and throw a traditional 4 finger power grip, I grip lock LITERALLY 50% of the time. With a 2 finger grip, everything seems to go much smoother....
What kind of grip (grips) do you use????

Jeff, you are probably grip-locking w/ your 4-finger power grip b/c you are putting pressure on release w/ your ring/pinkie fingers...
the key to throwing a 4-finger power grip is to make sure your release comes off your index/middle finger only...the other two fingers are only there to help you stablize the disc...
once I realized this and sought to finish all backhand drives w/ my index/middle finger my grip lock issues significantly diminished and now when I throw and grip lock I know why and I can FEEL why...
