Look at your watch in the slo-mo shots - with the "higher" grip, your watch shakes a lot less, indicating your wrist is indeed "locked in" and the recoil is being transferred further back into your shoulders. Otherwise, recoil is working to can't your wrist back, yielding higher muzzle rise. Neat!

"If it feels good, it's probably wrong" - Jerry Miculek An important aspect of the high grip is how hard it cants your wrist. If most of the force on the gun from your support hand is in the base/meat of your thumb, getting that part of your hand as close to the center of your wrist as possible will reduce the amount of torque your hand exerts on your wrist, which means your wrist will move less. High on the gun reduces the torque of the gun on your hand, super canted wrist reduces the torque of your hand on your wrist. Unfortunately, it's super uncomfortable to cant your wrist as far as it can go, and then squeeze the gun nearly as hard as you can 😁 This actually applies to every joint in your body, but gets less important the further away from the gun you get. But I've heard Vogel say (in passing) that he even cares about where the gun is in respect to his shoulders, to reduce the tiny bit of climb that happens there. I'm also impressed that as much as you shit on the high grip, you believed the results. Most people don't want to learn - they want to be right! I wonder if the more neutral grip works better on pistols where you can get your support hand "behind" something, like grip panels or even the backstrap. I only have thin grips on an SP-01 sooo I can't get my hand behind anything. Maybe you'll have to try this on a fat CZ
@dn82763 жыл бұрын
I fully agree with you, with just one denial. Higher grip is super uncomfortable just until you use it for trainig and shooting in routine fashion 🤷♂️ For me, it's the standard grip from my very first pistol beginnings and I feel it absolutely comfortable and normal... It's about the brain and muscle memory. I don't feel acceptable gun control with neutral position. Just my opinion 🤷♂️😉😁

Some of the best shooters in the world use a neutral grip. Both can be very effective. Neither work without proper technique and practice. Forward thumbs does work better for me but it's so uncomfortable ide like to learn how these pros do a proper neutral grip!

I changed my grip a few years ago after watching Vogel on Taran's channel. Its obnoxiously aggressive. He rolls his support wrist forward and torques into it. I have large hands and found that I could use that grip with my thumb on the picitanny rail, specifically on the weapon light. It was a game changer.

One thing I’ve been testing is reduction in grip tension (in the hands) with locking the wrist and elbow and keeping the shoulders as neutral as possible. So far I’ve found that it appears that much less grip force is actually needed and the joint locking plays a critical role. I’d check out Hwansik’s video on recoil management, it’s pretty interesting.

First of all thanks for putting this video so well together. I still think that that overly forceful grip shortly of shaking...who wants to go through a match like that? And over the years it will take a toll on your body. When you go through all the tiny bits of the late great Ron Avery and his technique he calls "force vector", he shoots one handed with 2 fingers without any muzzle climb and his ideas about more traction in the hands by keeping certain areas without tension to fit the form of the grip rather than creating two hard objects pressed together makes more sense. And with your in depth grip video, you know that others on top do not need that much force, they use way less grip strength. My hypotheses is that he chose that strong grip cause it mitigates a lot of possible mistakes so that he'll still have good enough results when he's messing up a little.I need my hands to work as well and there are enough athletes with 5-15 hand surgeries out there. I won't join the club. I wonder that being so close to shaking from much applied grip strength if the hands are creating a stronger tremor after the recoil to gain back control. Is there a rule to stop people from adding further grip attachments in the open division? Btw...Get a thousand high quality stickers of your logo and fans will buy them to put on their gun cases or safes and cars.

@@stevailo Well a lot of times people think to lock your wrist and grip are the same thing, but honestly, they are two separate functions. You can have a crazy vice grip and a completely floppy wrist and vice versa. For me personally, a lighter medium pressure high grip on the gun, great stance, and completely locked wrists work well for me. A great test to shake someone's hand with a firm but not hard grip and try to have them bend your wrist up and down randomly (Both hands). If you have a good stance and your wrist doesn't bend what so ever its hard not to be able to control most small calibers.

I don't know if it really matters much (though it's something I've heard many times by different folks) but when showing your "neutral grip" (around 8:15), there is a slight gap between your support hand and the thumb of your 'strong' hand. As I understand it, any gap at that point in the grip is space for energy to 'escape', resulting in slightly more recoil. That gap is not apparent when you adopted the higher grip. Great video and excellent explanations. I also agree that it may depend to an extent on the particular shooter and firearm.

Hi, I saw some time ago your video about recoil control interviews and it was so much interesting for me. I watched all the Kwansik videos a lot of times and always i undestand a bit more. So, here in Argentina it's difficult to go shooting for Covid but i made an experiment last week and works for me. I had the problem of the muzzle bumping during recoil no mater what i do. I realize that the problem was that in my relax position with the arm in position as shooting one handed, (or two handed), the front deltoid muscle contracts and should'n be contracted. Without a gun i made exactly the same and the muscle contracts too, so i made some exersices "to learn to relax" this muscle. Last week i went shooting and the results was totaly diferents, the gun didn't bump anymore!. I will upload the "before and after video" in my channel. Thanks for the video!

I switched to the high grip awhile back. I feel like I am able to apply more pressure on the grip with less effort. My defense handguns are also subcompacts where the smallest grip is two fingers with a flat floor plate. Shooting with a high grip allows me to use all support hand fingers and, like I mentioned above, I feel I am able to apply more pressure than a neutral grip. Since subcompacts are my carry guns, I shoot all other guns the same with a high grip. It makes more sense to me so I don't have to practice two or more grip styles. Downsides: on some guns I end up either preventing the slide from locking back when empty or, with the XD-M Elite, I cause the slide to lock open with rounds still in the magazine. I think I'm going to have to change my grip to be lower.

In the comparison, your support side index finger comes off the trigger guard which means the gun is moving in your hand. I'm sure you'll see a lot less movement once you nail that down.

The index finger on trigger guard kind of simulates the benefits of a left thumb rest and keeps the hand high and forward. Its not for everyone but everyone should at least try it to find out if its potentially a good fit for them IMHO.

EVERYONE: Please go watch Yong Lee’s video titled “Pistol Grip Technique (Finger Over Trigger Guard). It’s probably less than 5 min long, and in it he focuses less on the technique he named the video after, and more on the critical role that the support hand and joint manipulation play in mitigating muzzle flip while shooting at speed. Near the end of the video he demonstrates this by removing his entire dominant hand from the pistol (except for his trigger finger, of course) and then proceeds to fire 5 or 6 shots while controlling the pistol’s recoil better than 90% of the people I see at the range are able to do with both hands death gripping the gun. It’s really an amazing demonstration that I think everyone who is serious about their pistol shooting would benefit tremendously from watching.

Because I work with my hands all day (installing tile), my tendons are often inflamed and I can only get about 65lbs max grip from my strong hand.

I appreciate your disclaimer at the end and would be curious to hear your thoughts on the grip style of Lena Michlek (specifically when she is shooting the X5)? I have noticed that she (and sometimes Jerry) will wrap their index finger of their support hand around the trigger guard and appear to pull the frame back in to their strong hand.

You could use a lighter recoil spring which would reduce the nose-dive during recoil. Lots of things come into play. Not just grip.

Noticed also the space on your back thumb , if you lay it flat against your other thumb you eliminate that gap . That small gap will move the gun around also

Do you not get glock knuckle ? Everytime I shoot Glocks my hands are destroyed
@JoshBenware4 жыл бұрын
That's because there is a seam where the plastic is melted together. I use to take some sandpaper to the undercut when I shot glocks. It made the problem go away.

Great vid. Glad you didn't disprove the laws of physics. The world is messed up enough already. Whew!
@TheHumbleMarksman4 жыл бұрын
It’s not really physics if you think about it - the most leverage is lowest down on the grip and moving your support hand higher gives up leverage - seems to be locking out your wrist more advantageously

@@TheHumbleMarksman True. I was thinking about the center of mass being moved up closer to the bore axis thereby absorbing more of the slide's energy...the source of the momentum to begin with.

Moving it up destabilizes the recoil arc - forcing you to turn out your elbow to counteract it. It’s not intuitive to balance it to have a smooth return to zero

I don't see it. You looked more accurate with your regular grip. The Mantis graph on the High grip looks like brain wave from schizophrenic patient. Screw it, do what feels good. That's been working for sixty years. Of course I don't shoots comps, and don't care enough. Good vid though.

you naturallyy shot faster on the proper grip because your sights were there hmmmmmmm look at the cadence between the two
@TheHumbleMarksman4 жыл бұрын
I have the grip rpessures figured out so the sights track perfectly vertically with my natural grip - I'm getting there on the higher grip - and it does come back faster.

@erniemurdock86584 жыл бұрын
I don't agree with your grip. I tried your gun grip and the gun almost flew out of my hands. I had to make an adjustment with my hands. I shoot left handed. So my right thumb crosses over my left thumb. This creates a more stable and stronger grip. The gun does not feel like it's going to jump out of my hands. I've used this grip for 30 years and it always worked.
